truffles68 Posted April 10 #185 Share Posted April 10 Thanks to everyone on board letting us know what is happening. A big thank you to LA Cruiser 88 for ur up-to-date port/ pier report. I wonder if we can head down to the port earlier than 7pm to drop off our luggages. Our hotel check out is 11am. Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare PescadoAmarillo Posted April 10 #187 Share Posted April 10 The Solstice is passing the Majestic just outside the harbor now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ken the cruiser Posted April 10 #188 Share Posted April 10 Here’s hoping you have an awesome cruise and fair weather from here on out!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare azbirdmom Posted April 10 #189 Share Posted April 10 (edited) Majestic is getting close! It's been fun following along. I did hear that the Solstice will be missing Lifou which is a loss (at least to me) but hopefully the Majestic will be able to make up time so that you won't miss any.

Rare PescadoAmarillo Posted April 10 #192 Share Posted April 10 (edited) This is when I realize how massive these ships are. Is there a better major city in the world to cruise into and be right in the heart of the action? We did Australia cruising a year after Asia cruising and just loved being berthed at Circular Quay.

I could watch that webcam all day, and I think I have today LOL. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LACruiser88 Posted April 10 Author #195 Share Posted April 10 Do you think my Trip Interruption insurance will cover the cost of this extra shopping spree the late boarding is costing me? I'm currently standing outside another store holding 3 bags!!! 🤣 1 1 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that Australia is better at whites, while the Kiwis produce better reds. I'll be interested to hear your perspective. Don't forget to try the cocktail bar at the top of the Shangri-La if you have the opportunity! Seriously you are leading them up the garden path. Ever heard of Marlborough Sav Blanc?😄 Reds in NZ are nowhere near as good as Australia. You never told them how good your Canberra wines are from Helm and Clonakilla either. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
