gaechann Posted September 11, 2014 Author #251 Share Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) What kind of a crusie is the above - what ports? We sailed up the east coast of Australia from Sydney via Brisbane & Airlie Beach near the Great Barrier Reef then headed west via Darwin then Bali before heading back down the west coast of Australia via Port Hedland (mining port), Geraldton then Fremantle, the port for Perth. Amazing voyage which is why I'm going again this year. I still want to take a cruise from Fremantle via the southern ports to Sydney via New Zealand. Many overseas passengers do both cruises as B2B. About 32 nights in all. Gae Sent from my iPhone using Forums Edited September 11, 2014 by gaechann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Last year the tenders went to Point Abel. Not sure if that will be the same this year. I was in contact with a local Island Cruise company there asking about booking private tours to the Whitsunday Islands with them but they informed me that their private tours leave early & arrive back late so best to book a ship's tour!

gaechann Posted September 28, 2014 Author #255 Share Posted September 28, 2014 thanks for getting back to us.. We have been finding the same trouble with the times.. Do you know what time the first and last tender was ? when you went? Thanks Hi there! I'm sorry but I don't remember but probably 1st tender left after 8.00 & last back about 5.00 I'd say. Those booked on ship's tours out to the Islands were picked up directly from then brought back to the ship.

Hailzmick Posted November 1, 2014 #257 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Hi! I really thoroughly enjoyed your review & I love that you went back to tell us more! How exciting about your upcoming cruise with friends. I've started doing an ongoing review from our last cruise on Radiance. I loved her!!! http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2117820 Hailey :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karmac Posted November 1, 2014 #258 Share Posted November 1, 2014 (edited) I met a bar-tender last night at the theatre that had served me once only in the solarium lounge and she remembered not only what I'd ordered but that my Mum had something different! I said "but how did you remember me?" her answer was "well you remembered me"! Yes but there's only one of her & LOTS of passengers she must have served in that time! I was astounded! We did B2B cruises on Pacific Jewel back in 2010 and came across a great waitress in Connexions. In 2012, we were on Pacific Pearl and was walking past a bar the first morning and heard a voice call out to us (by name). We turned around an there she was!! She remembered our names, what we drank (apologized to hubby for not selling Tooheys New anymore) and she knew exactly what cruises we had met her on. They are unbelievable:) LOL.....just realised this is an old thread :) Edited November 1, 2014 by karmac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazy day Posted August 26, 2016 #260 Share Posted August 26, 2016 (edited) Hi Gae Loved reading your review. As you have been on this cruise twice before can you remember on what night the 2nd formal night is. I am thinking the first or second sea day after Darwin and before Bali but which one. Thank you Edited August 26, 2016 by lazy day spelling mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you I believe it's the Cruise Director that decides what nights will be formal nights so sorry I can't say when they are likely to be! Enjoy your cruise!
