Rare MicCanberra Posted December 10, 2016 #126 Share Posted December 10, 2016 What does that mean ? They set up a net high in the atrium and then load lots of balloons onto it. At the appropriate time that night, they release one side of the net so all the balloons float/fall down onto the crowd of party goers.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted December 10, 2016 #127 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Bummer, do you need someone to take your place on the cruise?;) But then you'd have to put up with Mrs Gut:eek::eek:. Wouldn't wish that on anyone.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cheznandy Posted December 10, 2016 Author #128 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Just had an announcement from the Captain that seas will be 3 -4 metres between 10pm and about 3am, so he advised those that need meds to take them and put things away in the cabin, use handrails etc......but then it should be glass like conditions on to Sydney. And forgot to mention for those cruising on the Emerald, sadly the always available desserts in the MDR have changed, no more creme brulee and cheescake, replaced with pavlova, cheese platter, but the loveboat dream is still there. So sad.....I am dying for a creme brulee!!! Was told by a waiter that us Aussies prefer pav and cheese plate....noooooooo!!

lovedecruise Posted December 10, 2016 #129 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Hi Cheznandy, Would you please be able to find out what the costs are for the Sanctuary. Are you able to book before you board or do you have to wait until get on board? Many thanks - glad to hear you are enjoying your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cheznandy Posted December 10, 2016 Author #137 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Hi Cheznandy, Would you please be able to find out what the costs are for the Sanctuary. Are you able to book before you board or do you have to wait until get on board? Many thanks - glad to hear you are enjoying your cruise. Ours friends booked the Sanctuary for half a day, $20. I am sure they said it was $40 for a full day, but $30 per day if you booked the whole cruise. Book onboard when you embark, we swam in the Lotus pool and didnt see many in the Santuary.

Rare cheznandy Posted December 11, 2016 Author #140 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Hi all, last update, nearly home. Last night was Platinum/Elite Captains Circle party, the usual watery drinks!! Captain did a lovely long speech, he did get on in Noumea and resides in Brisbane, previous Captain is safely home in Colorado. Formal dinner and nabbed the naughty corner with May. We dined with Dobby and Karen akka Mr and Mrs Elf.....Captain dined with his partner and two more Officers next to us. Maggie performs tonight. Seas a little rocky last night, but not the worst we have experienced. By the morning it was calm and nearly flat. We got up at 6am and I took lots of interior photos, the ship is so quiet and beautiful that time of morning. A lazy day laying in the sun and having a final swim. There are Carols in the Piazza tonight, we are having happy hour on the Welshies balcony, then our last cocktail in Skywalkers and dinner. The carnival Spirit or Legend passed us on our port side heading north this morning, I didnt have my camera to zoom in to see which one it was. Thanks to those that have been tuning in......see you all on land!! Sent from my GT-P3110 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One quibble about it is that the handicap lift for deck 17 was out of order. The only way up or down was via stairs. My DW has mobility issues and it sure would have nice if the lift worked. Oh yes, you have the cost correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellbeachjim Posted December 13, 2016 #148 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Thanks, have they announced the most cruised as yet at the Captain's circle event? I don't recall the number for the most cruised couple, but it was north of 1000 days. The cutoff for the most cruised event was 440 days. We weren't invited so I don't know if it was lunch, dinner or cocktails. There were over 1000 elite passengers aboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Jim:) thanks for joining in. I am sure I heard 341 Elite or 431 cos I am bad with numbers, there were lots more Platinum though. Yes, the most travelled couple have lots of days up, didnt look that old either!! We were not invited either hahaha! Although Andy and I both agreed that we don't think we would enjoy those dinners, geez it was bad enough going to the Elite/Platinum party......lots of dressed up people there checking everyone else out!! We enjoy the perks but not the other stuff;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
