Yes, got a bit hairy and quite a few went missing from the public areas. I myself was not too crash hot but it may have been a combination of hangover and the seas. No Noro that I saw or heard of but I didn't go to the Buffet after the embarkation lunch as we had lots of time and ate leisurely meals in the Waterfront for every meal. I was happy and would do a similar cruise again if the price is right (Cheap).:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people have very bad habits and spread it easily. I practice very strict hygiene, avoid the buffet, the elevators, touching hand rails and crowded areas where people are coughing and spluttering everywhere. I may have been lucky so far but I hope it continues to keep me noro free.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvercircle Posted July 26, 2014 #85 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Hi guys, I'm a new member and new to cruising. Came into this thread because we were on this cruise :) first one ever and had a blast! I'm really keen to do more cruising and take the kids next time instead of being on a boozy bender with 10 friends :) I'm a bit lost on here so far, but hopefully will work it out! I look forward to learning more and getting to know you all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raks Posted August 8, 2014 #91 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I missed out on this cruise through procrastination and indecision, looks like you all enjoyed it. So I am looking at an upcoming comedy cruise, it arrives back in Sydney at 7am (according to the itinerary) , my problem is I have to go to work that day, if I know I can be off the ship by 8am I can make it to work at a suitable time, and hubby has an 11am flight out for work, so can any of you advise what time you docked and what the process was like to depart the ship? We were thinking of parking at the airport and taxi to the wharf and back, I would drive home to work and hubby would catch his 11am flight out........does this sound achievable to those of you that were on the last cruise? I saw in Mic's review that it was a pretty quick process but I was just wondering if that's how everyone found it? Many thanks in advance to anyone who can comment.

We docked around 7am and clearance was given around 7.30am. This is from my review... Disembarkation was also very easy, we did the walk off around ten minutes after clearance was given and were at the taxi stand within 5 minutes. We were in a maxi cab after another 5 mins, a $46 fare (traffic over the Anzac Bridge) to Central station which was shared between the 3 couples. I think we caught the train at 8.07am from Central station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
