dizzy1948 Posted May 17, 2015 #2 Share Posted May 17, 2015 (edited) We have friends going on this - and they are spechiell !!!!!! :) They are the only ones (as far as we and they know) who will actually board at Melbourne. (As Melbourne isn't an "official boarding stop" - as per the official sector stops for boarding) They are going to the UK to live.....and are doing Melbourne to Dubai. They contacted Princess to see of they could board at Melbourne instead of flying to Sydney - and Princess said yes. Now how's that for special? I think it's a wonderful gesture from Princess. IMHO :cool: Edited May 17, 2015 by dizzy1948 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaznjo Posted May 17, 2015 #3 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Yes Bon voyage all ... It is always very exciting...... I know this sounds awful but let's hope you are running late leaving Sydney. vivid Sydney starts next Friday ... The bridge and the opera house are just amazing when they are lit up... The view from the ship would be spectacular!,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(As Melbourne isn't an "official boarding stop" - as per the official sector stops for boarding) There should be a few people in that situation. I'll be getting off at Melbourne! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaznjo Posted May 21, 2015 #14 Share Posted May 21, 2015 What channel, Joanne? it was the today show on channel 9. the segment was money minute... the finance guy talked about that with the way the dollar is cruising around the world was a good option as most of you major costs ( accom, food, drink etc ) are paid for in Australian dollars... also as I always advocate ... unpack and re pack only once LOL...

Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted May 22, 2015 #15 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I was looking forward to that. Problem is it starts at 6 p.m. Our ship leaves at 4... so, you know... :-( I don't think departures run late very often. If it stays windy they could have a late departure. Our Sun cruise left White Bay three hours late due to high winds, and the weather forecast is predicting similar strength winds today. Not the nicest day for them to leave Sydney, unfortunately.

Gaznjo Posted May 22, 2015 #16 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Shame on you Sydney... fancy putting on this weather for our world cruisers to sail away in... Ha ... hang on ... you did the same thing to us in 2011 ..... now there is always a silver lining... in 2011 cause of the rain and the amount of baggage on a world cruise ... loading the ship took extra time.. sail away ran very late... so they may be rewarded with Vivid Sydney....

NSWP Posted May 22, 2015 #18 Share Posted May 22, 2015 (edited) Yes bon voyage to all, any blogs happening? I have friends Gordon & Kay boarding on June 11 for the Dubai to Southampton sector, their first cruise, here's hoping they don't cop the whingers when they board, as sometimes happens midway through a 'Worldie.'

Are those the ones that whinge that there are too many sea days on the 'Worldie'? :confused: ;) :eek: :rolleyes: :p Edited May 22, 2015 by OzKiwiJJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSWP Posted May 22, 2015 #21 Share Posted May 22, 2015 (edited) Are those the ones that whinge that there are too many sea days on the 'Worldie'? :confused: ;) :eek: :rolleyes: :p Having joined a 'Worldie' midway, 3 years ago, we copped a few whingers who had been on since day 1, ....the sea days, missed ports, the food, price of drinks, laundry rage, rough weather, poor entertainment, etc, etc. One needs ear plugs. Admittedly most were Pom Whingers as it was on P&O UK's Arcadia, but Aussies are no different. Anyway I hope the weather clears up for the lucky folk on Sea Princess. Crikey they couldn't even give Sea Princess a berth at Circular Quay, but she is 'parked' at a tatty White Bay, sad that.

Rare MMDown Under Posted May 22, 2015 #23 Share Posted May 22, 2015 (edited) now there is always a silver lining... in 2011 cause of the rain and the amount of baggage on a world cruise ... loading the ship took extra time.. sail away ran very late... so they may be rewarded with Vivid Sydney.... Joanne "And they would have an enhanced view of Vivid Sydney from White City, sailing under the Harbour Bridge. it was the today show on channel 9. the segment was money minute... the finance guy talked about that with the way the dollar is cruising around the world was a good option as most of you major costs ( accom, food, drink etc ) are paid for in Australian dollars... also as I always advocate ... unpack and re pack only once LOL... " Thanks Joanne. I had channel 9 on and usually watch/listen to that finance guy, but I was doing the usual half a dozen jobs whilst I watched, so missed it.:) Agree unpacking only once is a big attraction. You would have noticed a big difference with your last big cruise/land content combination trip. Bon Voyage to all World Cruisers.

Gaznjo Posted May 22, 2015 #24 Share Posted May 22, 2015 MM As you can see I posted at 6.51 am.... I only caught it because I had just dropped my daughter down at the bus stop... I walked back into the house and there he was ( on deck ... ).... but it was just at the end... Luckily the fetch box played nice today and let me rewind it back to the beginning of the segment...
