  1. I got the feels for you Joe I also cancelled my Baltic cruise in July 2021 and I have not got over it yet....Why not come over to Aus next year and do a cruise we should be opening up soon as we have not been so hard hit and there are some great South Pacific adventures around
  2. I do not hold much hope for a vaccine ..this virus has mutated so many times already the chance a vaccine will be effective is small due to the prolonged testing times before it is manufactured....it will be a stronger version of itself by then....I am all for vaccines when they are effective but it seems many people think this thing is like flu... it in not it attacks the immune system and therefore injures organs in the process...please learn to protect yourselves and your families by distancing and wearing masks and also WASHY WASHY
  3. I moved a booking from july 2021 to jan 2021 not a L&S just a change . GS to a Owners suite when I cancelled and rebooked and did not lose any deposit I guess it was luck of the draw
  4. No it was a cancelled Baltic 12 night in July 2021 to a quick Queensland sampler in January 2021 I was surprised with how quickly it was handled and was grateful we did not get charged a change fee or lose any of the deposit (maybe because I upgraded to an owners suite) I am looking forward to taking a longer cruise some time next year but have been wary of all the changes that are occurring due the the plague
  5. My cruise disappeared the hour I cancelled it and was replaced with the new one with the same booking no....maybe it is different for Aus
  6. I have booked a no port Cruise January 2021 from Brisbane Queensland for 3 nights on Radiance ..its called a sampler cruise and it is allowed in Australia due to the different laws of stopping at ports in this country ,we will drive interstate stopping for a few days going there and again coming back home its a nice way to vary a holiday and see the country at the same time
  7. Please remove Jewel Baltic Cruise July 27th 2021 and add Radiance Queensland January 15th 2021.....The only good thing is upgrade to Owners suite from Grand suite
  8. For my upcoming 12 Day Baltic cruise next year they want .....from* 98.64 AUD Adult per day for deluxe beverage package ....this is without the added 18 percent gratuities...
  9. Visitors to New Zealand are often surprised to learn that, on arrival, they are automatically covered by the same universal personal injury insurance scheme and, in return, they too are barred from suing for compensation. It is in part because of this that the visitor can enjoy risky activities such as bungy-jumping and whitewater rafting. Insuring against negligence claims would be a significant, possibly prohibitive, business cost for adventure tourism—a field in which New Zealand excels. Nonetheless, visitors from Australia and the United States often wonder why New Zealanders deprived themselves of the right to hold a negligent party to account for one’s pain and suffering and incapacity for work, even though one can still sue for defamation. The removal of this basic element of common law rights is particularly incomprehensible to civil litigators who specialise in personal injury. Moreover, the state monopoly deprives the insurance industry of a lucrative market—albeit one with long-tail risk.

  11. The criminal investigation is because the border force / port authority /health dept are all blaming each other for disembarking passengers without screening or enforced isolation.. as far as I can see the ship followed all protocols informing authorities of a number of sick passengers on board before being given permission to dock....as a result of a monumental stuff up by [who knows] there have been multiple deaths/cross infections from covid19 that could have had a better outcome ....the criminal investigation will be for a coroners inquest into these deaths.....the poor crew are still on board being questioned as well as being in danger of further disease..its a shambles at least some lovely people from Woolongong where it is docked have sent care packages onboard for them so they can at least feel the Easter spirit and know not all of us Aussies are against them
  12. Radiance class have an aft owners suite 2 bed ...... 4 bunks in one bedroom ... 2 bathrooms ..... king in master and double sofa bed in lounge http://www.royalcaribbean.com.au/findacruise/cabinclass/cabinTypes/cabinType/cabin/home.do?br=R&cabincls=D&cabinType=OT&shipCode=RD
  13. Yes I agree I worked in an ER for the majority of my career and the only thanks you get is the appreciation of the ones you serve (well most of the time)....One has to keep peoples spirits up because we all have to get through it anyhow so why not with a smile
  14. I am trying not to think of this year (but I must admit I have already booked and paid for shore excursions for my Baltic cruise next year) I am the eternal optimist and I refuse to accept things will not get better by then
  15. I always check to see the aft cabins I love the GS on the radiance class
