Love Port Arthur, but love sailing in/out just as much.

[icat2000]

It is tendering is up and running.

 

We arrive in Hobart tonight at 9 pm tonight.

 

It's a little bit cold today.

[Womble99]

Would like to hear how the tendering goes. Have they started to get it running smoothly? It seems to be a mixed bag going on comments from the last few cruises, long lines and delays on return was the problem we faced.

Who are your waiters?

[NSWP]

Too much Vino perhaps Uncle Les, as unless I'm totally lost Wineglass Bay is in Tas not NZ

Correct Mr GUT, typo, I meant Tasweiga not Kiwiland. Its those big glasses.

 

Thank you.

Hi Sarah

 

Great reading about your cruise. My Sister in law is going on the ship next year and has been told that late dining is 8.15. Is this correct. Others have told us that it is 7.45. Would you mind finding out for us.

 

Thanks,

 

Janet

RE Formal night - does Princess crowd still take care to dress up for the formal night - or is becoming only for the minority? And how casual the formal night dress is becoming in the dining room?

 

(I assume there is no comparison with the generally casual attire on formal nights on RCCL in the Pacific).

Last night was formal night. Plenty of people were dressed up that I saw in the main dining room.

 

Have left port Arthur. Will arrive in Hobart at 9 pm. We are crawling along. I swear I could row faster.

Our last cruise had 5 formal nights, I guess about 5% not dressed suit of some sort, 10-15% Tuxes the rest Suit and tie, mainly dark suit but maybe 10% light suit and tie.

 

Women about the same % most what they'd wear as a professional in an office, now I guess technically those in pants suits weren't dressed strictly to code via the Princess site.

Thanks Sarah for keeping us up to date.:D
