[Kiwi Kruzer]

I now have a much greater appreciation of how clever all you "followers" are, as well as your levels of patience. :)

 

More often than not its luck.:D

That’s so true :), you just have to look at the web cam at just the right moment, and sometime you get a good shot.

Does anyone know which blogs are remaining and whether any new ones are starting?

 

Haven't seen any recent updates. Southampton was probably a big day.

 

How do you find them unless someone tells you?

 

BTW Luck to some, but a wealth of experience to others! :)

Hi Joanne

Have you seen the email today from one of the large cruise booking agents here in Australia offering guests the chance to win $10 000 obc by booking a cruise on next years world cruise? On top of that you also get $4000 obc. Princess must be keen to sell cabins!

 

$10 000 would buy a lot of drinks. Leanne:)

Thanks David.

 

From memory, Joanne said Brett had been sick with the flu and he uploaded his last blog in batches.

 

Re chance to win $10,000 obc, TA must know we're a nation of gamblers!

Booking early does have its advantages...

especially for a cruise like yours that requires so much planning.

[Gaznjo]

has anyone check out the bridge cam.... looks cold and rough LOL

 

well it is probably only looking cold because I just got home from being sunny outside and cold inside... LOL...

[Kiwi_cruiser]

It does look a bit rough out their today:

 

DAWN PRINCESS at ShipWatcher

 

 

I do wonder if they will make it in to Dublin today or if they will have a very long sea days before getting to the USA in a weeks time.

[Gaznjo]

they are due into dublin tomorrow on the 16th...the rough seas wouldn't stop them... would it........ eek if this is rough imagine what the atlantic is like LOL... a good initation for all the new passengers LOL

[Kiwi Kruzer]

eek if this is rough imagine what the atlantic is like LOL... a good initation for all the new passengers LOL

 

Thats what I was thinking..

Imagine just boarding and having rough seas...:eek:

 

Is the Atlantic rough? YES:eek::eek:

[MMDown Under]

My Atlantic initiation was an unforgetable experience, with ropes tied across all lift wells etc. so you could hold on as you went past, so you didn't fly across the ship. Everything was roped down, after furniture and the piano lifted. And I didn't get seasick.

 

My last TA was like a millpond, yet I knew people who felt seasick at the slightest ripple.

[Gaznjo]

this is my second attempt at posting this... the first time we had a blackout mid sentence and now the power is back...

 

I have posted the link to this guys video's before, but I thought it appropriate to share again.... this video is of the crossing of the atlantic with the QE2 and queen victoria in tandem... rough ... did you say rough LOL....

 

 

hmm just one thing did anyone notice that the ship is going left to right at the begining and then goes right to left towards the end.... am I missing something here... but that can't happen can it LOL....

I saw that too. I think I would rather they dropped the prices a bit instead of a 'chance' at winning $10000.00.;)

EDITED - double posting

[bazzaw]

Can we please change this conversation??

 

We will be sailing from Southampton on 15 January - so our first introduction to an Atlantic "crossing" (North to South) will be in the Northern Hemisphere winter!! :eek::eek:

 

Although -- it is the luck of the draw on the day . You can see here why they are making hard work of it right now. ( Green/Yellow?Orange) Elsewhere in the Atlantic it is like a mill pond ( purple)

Patience!

 

Good things come to those who wait.

 

Did you see the Titantic display on Getaway? The cost of cruising then was sooooooo expensive, and wasn't anything like todays cruise ships.

yes we were watching... got excited as we thought the exhibition might have been in sydney and we would have gone this weekend ... alas it is in melbourne... oh well... they might bring it up here ...

[Sandielle]

Sorry, but apparently it is only being exhibited in Melbourne. We were hoping it would visit Brisbane. :(
