 RCG Asia Pacific are advertising for staff.       A positive sign.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The old staff must not want to return to the ships.

I'd forgotten how big that thing really is. I recall being on board when it was having difficulty docking at Napier where it had to do a 180 turn in a crosswind.

Napier is a tricky port for docking for any ship.

Chinese New Year on Quantum,I like the menu.

I love Chinese tucker. Am going to a Chinese year banquet on Tuesday evening @ Raymonds @ Malua Bay.

 

Legendary and great cuisine, they were in the Malua Bay Bowling Club but it all got burnt down in the bush fires, we used to dine there weekly for 15 years. So they moved into the ground floor of the new Abode Hotel at Malua Bay. It is packed every lunch and dinner, if you don't book then you don't get in. If you are down Far South Coast, highly recommended.

3 weeks and we will know what’s the schedule for 2022-2023 is.

 

With my best research theres only 4 ships in the whole  pacific.
Not enough ships????

 Quantum,Ovation,Spectrum and Wonder

Voyager will be In Boston ,Serenade ,Explorer and Radiance will be in Miami .

And all the other ships in the fleet are booked.

 I’m thinking RC will reduce there exposure to China as it’s to volatile.

 

 I’m giving it a long shot but Quantum will be in Brisbane 

Ovation in Sydney 

Spectrum in Singapore and some cruises from Hong Kong.
 

And Wonder will be the wild card Singapore, Sydney and China. Possibly Japan.

Celebrity solstice just come out of dry dock in Singapore with the new company theme of blue hull.

 Eclipse is going straight on next.

One advantage of the dark hull is that the rust doesn't show up. 🙂

White isn’t a very serviceable colour.

 I like white shirts but they don’t stay white for very long.

Celebrity Beyond is taking shape

The exhaust.

 

 

 

The grand plaza !

Blue hull looking a bit like HAL, albeit not as dark a blue.

It seems to be trend away from white hulls. Colours and artwork.

 

Stark white must be high maintenance with rust ,buffer marks.

I suppose they have to book the shore excursions and people get onboard just to change their mind.

Also processing refunds.
