      Thanks Janine. We've been on a few comedy cruises and we wanted to do something a bit different. We already knew that there were a couple more that we wanted to book whilst we were on board so we got the $400 on board credit back from those which enabled us to splash out a bit on the dining etc. Shuffleboard win was a big bonus though.

      @robandalicruisetravel 5 днів тому

      Hi Darlyn. Thanks for watching and supporting us. Dragon Lady is included for dinner but they do a special lunchtime menu which is the Yum Cha. You pay per plate and they generally have 3 pieces for between $7 and $12 a plate. It's a bit like the High Tea where there is an extra cost for that if you want to do it. Waterfront and Pantry are still open for lunch and are included in the fare.

We actually don't have anything booked for February right now but I don't think we have enough leave from work to do anything other than a weekend cruise anyway. PNG is a good cruise, we loved it.

      @robandalicruisetravel 2 години тому

      Sorry for the delay. Is that on the Pacific Explorer from Melbourne? In general, they do like people to try to stick to the allocated times to avoid backlogs and queues. We have been on a couple of Princess cruises where they do not have boarding windows and it was chaos. Having said that, 12pm is pretty near the earliest time anyway so there shouldn't be much of a delay. If it's the Explorer from Melbourne, we have only cruised once from Melbourne so can't really tell you how strict they are there. When we went it was shortly after the cruise pause lifted and they were strict about a lot of things. However, it was a different time then. Have a fantastic cruise.
