goodycruising Posted September 28, 2015 #2 Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) Looking like a fantastic day in Sydney! Currently 20c with a forecast of 24c. *sigh* what a day to get on a beautiful ship. Have a great trip anyone that is going!

Rare mr walker Posted September 28, 2015 #3 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Arrival of Diamond this morning was reported on Sydney radio (2UE) as marking the start of a record cruiseship season for Australia. In the same report there was a comment about complaints about pollution from cruiseships and they had an audio clip from a cruiseline (Carnival?) rep saying that all ships entering Australian ports will be using low Sulphur fuel from this week. Happy cruising to all - only 1 month to go for us :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that's just plain mean, short sheeting my bed indeed.:) Look at it this way, you will be on her for nearly 5 weeks, poor little me only 2, although I am tempted to book the Golden from Melbourne to New Zealand in Feb or March next year, still have to face a flight though no matter what, our bit of water is a pain at times, and I hate flying.:(:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted September 29, 2015 #9 Share Posted September 29, 2015 8 weeks today for us, you will be getting off Gut, as we are getting on.:D:D Just told DW about your Nast comment, she said stop counting, or at least stop in 23 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could always get the Spirit to MLB and then cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisegroover Posted September 29, 2015 #11 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I think I'm right in saying Diamond Princess is the first arrived visiting ship for the summer season. So that means summer cruising has now started! I have 3 cruises booked this summer so today I'm excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awesome girl Posted September 29, 2015 #14 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Have you ever looked at the cost of the Spirit? And furthermore you aren't even offered free coffee, water is free though. No I will stick with flying and sit on the edge of my seat, with DH holding me down. After 47 years of putting up with me he knows exactly what to do, put me in the window seat so I can't escape.:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodycruising Posted September 29, 2015 #18 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I have looked at the price of Spirit a few times. That is why I do lots of research, so I will know a good price when it appears :) Hope people got their scenic photos done earlier. The day is turning stormy by the look of it at about 5:20pm.

I was researching Carnival Legend prices (after a recent special on the el cheapo thread), then Carnival Spirit, and that all has nothing to do with a thread about Diamond Princess! Well and truly got that one mixed up ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you would have to do is transfer your luggage from one side of the Pier to the other side onto the Golden Princess.You could go and get breakfast at the cafe at the end of the Pier near the gatehouse or the cafe next to the tram terminal across the road whilst waiting for the Golden Princess to open her boarding up. There is no need for you to fly. I hope that helps Regards,:):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the price in summer is not good, no I will stick with flying and grimly do my Sudoku.:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
