Cruise Addicts R Us

Best wishes, Sparky and looking forward to your trip report. 

Only 11 days until I board  Carnival Splendor in Singapore  and sail back to Australia.

Ditto, but thankfully only 73 days for us.

Seems like forever doesn't it, John? But time doesn't stand still and we'll be cruising almost before we know it. 🙂

Funny thing once it went under 100 days it seems to be getting more real.🤗

You're absolutely right. It's related to the illusion that the return journey from somewhere always seems to be quicker - even if it's only a trip to the shops (in that instance it's probably caused by the reduced weight of the wallet or the reduced balance on the card). 😮

It may also be because, I have a heap of things I have to complete, before I'm allowed to go.... 🤣

Working frantically away at the moment, getting all our e-mail addresses changed around, as changing provider.

So, Hilary has a 'laundry list', huh?

I'm pretty sure Darren doesn't know whether he's coming or going. At least once a month he asks for the cruise dates and how much time he's taken off work either end of the cruise itself. (I'll cut him a minute piece of slack as he's a shift worker and not always cognisant albeit awake). I think I'll rest my voice and just record 'Look at the calendar in the kitchen, Babe, it's the block of dates marked Cruise'. 😂

I'm sad too. All bigger numbers than Mic, and little chance of adding another between. But it just adds more counters, and a nice one that has us on QF1 in 300 days.

Elevator holds 20, except for on cruise ships, then it is only 10.

5 on embarkation day, with so many with bags still in tow. Nowadays, a discretionary cough or two and you can have an elevator to yourself.

That's why we take the stairs 😇 Usually just one small carry on each so we're not trying to maneuver steamer trunks up the stairs. The rest of our luggage is in the laps of the crew!🤭

I have always been surprised by the max number posted on the signs in cruiseship elevators. I have often seen numbers like 18 or similar. Often comments come when the lift is seemingly full to the brim with just maybe 10 'regular, cruise-size people' aboard. I have been known to say that I wouldn't want to be in here with a capacity crowd 🙂 And the oft repeated 'always room for one more' 🙂 

 

Not my photo & not on a cruiseship, but this seems correct:

Must be for the Americans,  use anything for measurement but measurements and definitely not the metric system.
