Another chaotic start to our day in Hong Kong. The ship provided very little information about transport options from the cruise terminal and we had to get to a start point in the city to meet ourRead more

Rest day after Manila and glad of it. Seems we are not as young as we used to be. A quiet day with a nice meal and entertainment in the Wheelhouse Bar before unconsciousness.

Finally some solid land again. Arrival in Manila Harbour was a bit chaotic with multiple small fishing boats moving out of our path at the last minute even with the captain blasting them on the horn.Read more

Another sea day and another day spent mostly in bed for me. We have pretty much had a gutful of this bug which we think is influenza and Faye is coming down with it now as well. All variations ofRead more

Nothing much happening on these days as I got a bit sick. Probably COVID but we don't have any test kits and I'm not going to the Medical Centre. It'll pass. A few nice shots of some brown boobiesRead more

Today was dominated by the Equator Crossing. Any staff and many passengers who had never crossed the Equator in a ship were inducted as Shellbacks by King Neptune and summarily thrown into the pool. ARead more

The weather in the mornings is surprising. We seem to be getting dismal weather early and it fines up a bit later in the day. Explored more of the upper parts of the ship this morning. The golf courseRead more

Bugger. The crappy weather and strengthening storm have combined to wipe out our day at Conflict Islands. We were so looking forward to being able to snorkel in the apparently crystal clear waters butRead more

We snuck into Alotau in the early morning. It's easy to see why the Japanese were so keen to take control of this lovely harbour. After breakfast we headed out into the town in overcast but pleasantRead more
