Girl from Oz Posted June 21, 2010 #26 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Can't wait til it warms up to get together again - July sounds good to me. Come on Sydney-siders and ALL others who can get here (Sue from ACT) - lets have a beautiful harbour cruise. Some of us met on the Lady Hopetoun before our 2009 Diamond cruise, so I can highly recommend it as a wonderful way to sit and chat about cruising, sharing a picnic lunch and a glass or 2.

Girl from Oz Posted June 22, 2010 #28 Share Posted June 22, 2010 What about this to brighten us all up .Any Interest? http://www.shf.org.au/cgi-bin/shopper.cgi?key=HH001&preadd=action Come on Sydneysiders - let's get onboard. We're 4 or 5 so far, but we'll need to book this soon. A great way to meet up with other Cruise Critics - from the last voyage on Sydney Harbour in Sept last year have grown many close cruising friendships - most of us hadn't met beforehand!!!

rugbypopsie Posted June 24, 2010 Author #48 Share Posted June 24, 2010 There is a shorter option on the Royal Princess Papaetee to Hawaii..I must admit I like sailing back to Sydney there is something about coming into the harbour...not to mention not worrying about the weight of my luggage! We are a long way out from 2012 so I think we should ask our favourite T/a to keep an eye on prices for our preferred options and see what comes up with a good price. I think they should overbook the Lady H...last time some randoms didn't turn up. I'll be on the water in three weeks even if it is just the harbour:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lizzy77 Posted June 24, 2010 #50 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Hi all. Sorry we can't make it on the 18th but I do like the sound of the other cruises, especially the 27 days. Definitely open to any suggestions after our South American cruise. Are there any of you still booked on the SA cruise:confused: We decided to continue on with our booking and have added on a Panama Canal cruise afterwards. We ended up with a pretty good deal on air which ended up costing much less than we thought, so that was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
