I thought the food offerings at the IC were poor in comparison to those on other Princess ships. All I could get gf..coeliac was a stale little sponge cake, inedible. I loved the Horizon Court ate there many times, BLD, so much variety for those of us with serious dietary allergies.

Appreciate those with allergies etc would be limited so great if you can get variety in the buffet. I had a little quiche and vegetable soup, both very nice. Plus a delicious chicken Waldorf salad. I was very good and saved dessert for dinner tonight 🥰 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There wasn't a lot of organising to do as we're getting experts at hopping on and off the ship. We did pack smart when disembarking the last cruise - we filled one suitcase with clean clothes and other things we would need onboard this cruise. So that made the rest of the packing a bit easier although we have had to fit in our cool weather clothes just in case plus supplies of stuff we use during the cruise - those good quality masks take up a lot of space! We ended up using an extra suitcase rather than squashing everything in. We didn't have time to get haircuts this time so will have to go to the ship's hair salon if we get too shaggy. Luckily we were able to get doctor's appointments today to get new prescriptions including some more Stemetil. That's a lot to organise in a very short time I'd be stressed out. Just get a haircut when you go ashore, would have to be a lot better value then the ship & there won't be a lot of up selling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be better value but it wastes shore time and there is no guarantee we could get walk-in cuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinny waitress? Junella? Most of the waiters in Good Spirits are great fun. That's why it's our favourite bar. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree, Good Spirits Bar is the place to be on Coral. Edited October 11, 2022 by NSWP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think of August as a month for doing this? I've booked for 2024 'just' from Sydney to Perth, around the top/anti-clockwise. Couldn't spring for the full circumnav.

We were trying to decide whether to get one last drink, so she started to do a very slow shuffle - I am walking away very slowly, then would ask again if we had decided yet with every step. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
