They can take Navigator via Batemans Bay.

 

 Apparently last time RC took a ship around the horn it was very unprofitable.Ship capacity was 30%

The long way around the world would be more lucrative.

 

So serenade leaves us in Sydney early next season, I think it was February.

So it’s possible we may have Navigator of the seas in Sydney  March to May.

Just speculation.

Yes anchor 5km out and tender in over the sandbar, lol. No ships from the dark side in here thanks, Botany Cruise Terminal for RCI, lol.

Whats wrong with flying to 🇨🇳?

[MMDown Under]

I wonder how many people will be happy to cruise in an inside cabin?  Would be good if cruise lines could advertise lead in fares for balcony cabins to give people a realistic idea of cost of a cabin with fresh air.

We tried an inside cabin once, too claustraphobic for me. Oceanview minimum. Balcony or mini suite desirable.

 

The new build ships have many more balcony cabins. Its what the people want.

Two reason to start with.

I certainly didn’t want something coming in my back door .

 I certainly don’t want a Chinese vaccine.

 

I won’t ever buy Chinese garlic. Something like 80% of groundwater isn’t fit for animal consumption.

What about the rice? That is grown in paddy fields fertilized by humans,🚾      lol.

But their government said supplies have never been so good, A CCP miracle.

I am a little confuse about part of this offer.

 

One line says 50% off wine, beer, Skoda by the glass.

Next line says 20% any glass of Wine, Beer, or Soda.

 

Is this a premium charge for capitalisation?

I think they are each a one off purchase.

Not a big deal really but you can get one top shelf glass of wine for half price. Then a second at 20% off.

Great value $US12 all day - and is that $12 for all Diamond, Diamond + and Pinnacle?   Think they may have lots of complaints from our USA friends who are more vocal than us.

That works for me - maybe a couple of 2x points cruises to graduate to D+ - I can't see we will get to P

I think it’s pretty good, I probably wouldn’t drink much more than that.
That’s any drink you can get with the booze package.

Any time of the day under the $12 cap , if you go over the cap you pay the extra.

The C&A menu was pretty basic before. A beer , a glass of basic wine or a soft drink.

If you wanted a gin and tonic sometimes you would have to use two vouchers .You only got 3 vouchers and only during happy hour.

What was happy hour? I forgot, 4:30 to 7:30 PM.

And they spray it to prevent it sprouting.  According to Stephanie Alexander the spray they use is toxic.

I f you look at the quality of their products in general, why would you eat anything from there.

 

What they spray the back door test so it doesn’t sprout? LOL

 

I don’t think many westerners will be going to China.

 

 Doesn’t smart traveler advise you can be subject to arbitrary detention.

They sure do. Here is what is on the website.

 

"As previously advised, authorities have detained foreigners on grounds of 'endangering national security'. Australians may be at risk of arbitrary detention. "
