Yes. I'm sailing on Diamond Princess out of Melbourne on 19 October.

I think my TA was on board (if the cruise originated in Brisbane). He's promised to give me a quick overview of the ship once he returns home.

It was a beautiful day for the Diamond's visit to Melbourne yesterday. For passengers who made their way into the city, they would have been caught up in the excitement of the AFL grand final. The CCD and surrounds were full of fans of both competing teams. I wonder if any passengers went to the game? 

 

 

As usual with our weather, it has turned and is wet and windy. The Diamond is anchored to the north of Phillip Island for her visit there today. It will be cold and wet for those going to the Penguin Parade this evening.
