Say hi to Darko for us.

Geoff & Barb - recent tenants from R604

Geoff and Barb - we will be in R604 in Feb 2024, 13 day South Pacific cruise. This is our first full suite, we usually book mini-suites. This will be our 50th anniversary cruise too, we can't wait!

Is somebody a Kirk Gibson fan?

I would have liked to have tried some, but everything is  closed.

 And add a few extra to overcome the disappointment!

Will your itinerary be diverted due to the forthcoming tropical depression?

We missed Tauranga and anchored just outside of Auckland for a day due to the Port of Auckland being closed due to the aftermath of Cyclone Lola. Sounds like it's going to be a stormy season down under.

We...lll.  what can ya say about things you can't control 

[jwattle]

Update: missing Lautoka and Dravuni, gaining a sea day and an overnight in Noumea, so happy to be on the Magnificent Majestic Princess! We're always happy,  even with diversions and changes: Mother Nature speaks,  the Captain acts,  we roll with it and Crack On... you know what this means? We have to come back!!! Yay!!!

Yes, that's the attitude to have!  

 

We're looking to go again next year and visit the port we missed in NZ and stay longer in Sydney.

That fits our usual booking as well. The cabin is pretty much  like-nu.

 

Make the most of the concierge & lounge for evening drinks and the coffee machine & nibbles.

@c-boy She's the one who has mastered the "fireworks". Say hi to her from Donna, please. We ate noodles together at the same ramen place in the Ala Moana mall in October. Christina has a photo, I think.  Good times! Love them all! Noel is my guy.

After another winning casino night,  a little nightcap:

I Love Fiji Bitters. Too bad you couldn't get any.

[azbirdmom]

Well the weather outside may be frightful but the casino has been delightful!  Sorry you're missing a couple of Fiji stops but glad you are staying entertained on the Majestic.

Hope they figure out the power situation soon. Sorry to hear about the bad weather.  

If you aren't in a suite...you can talk to the Pax Svcs desk or a restaurant manager (can't remember the title).

[jwattle]

The power situation lasted about an hour,  with little side effects from the reboot into the evening,  but nothing to really concern us. We had our usual time with our Concierge lounge "family" and them off to supper,  the casino,  nightcap and bed.

The ocean decided to rock and bounce us to sleep,  and it's still doing so this morning.  I fear it won't be helpful for many of my fellow passengers. 

The cruise staff went hard to work last night adding activities for today and tomorrow,  the unplanned sea days,  and shore excursions are being added for the extra day at Noumea.

Sounds like you're in such a terrible rut.  🙂

Well we're heading back from whence we came. A side effect of long cruises is, I have lost track of time. 

[jwattle]

If I didn't mention,  we did go into Suva to the couple of places that were open,  and managed to contribute to the economy as well as bring back some of their water in the form of the pouring rain.  

I dont think that I mentioned Sweet Soul Music from the other night: excellent show,  and the reserved seats for Premier were amazing! They have some of to the left on the lower level towards the back,  but there is also a row in the center about midway that has an astounding view. They have a departing cast and an arriving cast so we are seeing both.
