Debsta Posted December 30, 2011 #1 Share Posted December 30, 2011 My mind is blank LOL Left into some heavy swell up to 5 metres and we hugged the coast until about NSW/QLD border when it calmed down yesterday. Pretty bumpy, lots of sea sick people (not me!!!) - well after Cyclone Vania in January I think I can handle anything hahaha. Great weather though - well I think so.....after all, I'm from Sydney - the city of "no summer" hahaha. Awesome cruise critic rollcall :D. Noumea today - Did Amadee Island snorkelling. Great day! Our tour was late back so we held up the ship hehe. I need a nana nap now :p Port Vila tomorrow. More snorkelling. Food good. Entertainment...hmmmm. I'll comment when I get back :rolleyes:. Lovin' my Junior Suite balcony :D Deb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfaz Posted December 30, 2011 #2 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Can't wait to read your review, at least for the next four days anyway (then we get on Radiance). Might get some first hand tips and ideas. Our cousin and her boyfriend are on that cruise. I think her birthday is tomorrow. Better have a cocktail for her!!! Have fun Leah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debsta Posted January 1, 2012 Author #10 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Boo :D The entertainment has picked up A LOT! The weather was great until today here in Lifou.....rainy :( But I did spend 3 hours snorkelling. Love it! Came back for a hot shower and a nana nap BECAUSE..............last night.......... New Years Eve WENT OFF!! Had a sensational night. Started with drinks in the Schooner Bar, yummy dinner, into the Centrum for balloon drop and countdown (got squashed and tramped LOL), then up for the band on the pool deck - it was pouring rain - so we danced in it LOL Had so much fun. Soaking wet we were then moved to the Viking Crown Lounge when they shut the band on deck at 2 am. What a night!!! What a morning!!! for a port! Best New Year's Eve! :D Tonight is Island Night. It's still raining. Captain Stein just said it was going to be the same weather tomorrow for Isle of pines. Doesn't matter....ya get wet in the water anyway :p Oh Rule 101 when driving a tender. Do not crash into the Lifou wharf when Captain Stein is onboard :eek: Poor tender driver. Felt sorry for him. Captain Stein wasn't impressed. He's a cool Captain. He was on Rhapsody in January. I like him. He'll be getting off after this cruise and going home for a while. His family are on board also. Apparently after 3 months being on board his wife would like to go home :D Interesting fact: Full ship, about 2300 passengers. Only 107 Crown & Anchor members. Going to get changed for Island night now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, sounds like alot of newbies. Captain Stein is good. He's the only Captain I've seen have lunch in the Dining Room and breakfast in the Windjammer with the passengers. Who is the cruise Director?

Debsta Posted January 2, 2012 Author #16 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Day ???? Island night was a flop last night. Had to be moved to the Centrum cos of da rain :mad: Actually I thought it was pretty dumb having Island Night (which usually goes off) after New Years Eve......everyone was ratchet. Isle of Pines today. Woke up to sunnnnnnn..............nope, rain rain rain and not particularly balmy or tropical.....however, never to be defeated I donned my snorkel and went looking for Nemo.....found him :D Not the best snorkelling weather though. An hour tops and I was freezing to the point Nemo had to tow me back to shore, soooooooooo headed back to ship for hot chocolate, hot shower and.........ta da..........a nana nap :p They tossed in an extra Bingo this afterrnoon (probably cos of the weather) worth $1,000. Didn't win that either. Tonight is 70's night. Always a good night. So the refit. She will be getting 3 new restaurants I believe (Izumi, Chops and ?????). Someone told me she was getting cut in half :eek: and having more balcony cabins put in??????? Not sure about dat one. Big screen - which I really miss! I love the big screen to watch movies on. Did I tell you I went to the gym on the first day? Sure did! Haven't been back LOL The Captain's special cocktail party for suite guests was last night but the Captain didn't turn up LOL Captain Stein just making an announcement that we've left. You wouldn't know. At least the seas are flat. Going to a 2 metre swell and he said the weather will get better and better :D Apparently summer has finally made it to Sydney!

CroNich Posted January 2, 2012 #18 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Yessum :D I was on that cruise, I Remember the waves on the way to noumea were terrible, haha, there were people being sick everywhere (including my sister) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debsta Posted January 3, 2012 Author #19 Share Posted January 3, 2012 LOL Nick. I have never seen so much chuck in my entire life on that cruise. It's funny being back on her this time as you'll remember the waves were coming up to the Windjammer. It's long way down and makes you realise just how huge the seas really were then. On our way back to Sydney now :( Was a bit bumpy and windy last night but woke up to sun. It's all settled down this afternoon. Just had a facial....yummy. 70's night was awesome as usual. Another late night :rolleyes: Slept in until 11 am this morning....missed breakfast :eek: LOL Had dining room lunch and the yummy salads they make. Did some deck time. Have really done sweet FA today LOL Tonight is The Quest hehe :D Shipboard gossip: 2 crew eloped in Noumea and didn't come back onto the ship :eek: People turfed off in Noumea after a nightclub brawl :eek: Peasants in nightclub last night started throwing ice at the DJ when he shut down the music at 2 am. DJ was throwing back some not so pretty words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
