Jan 23, 2012 Auckland to Sydney

[baglad]

Here we go again but in the opposite direction for a change.
Its good when you only have a 15 minute drive from home to the wharf.
We last enjoyed the Diamond 2 years ago across the Tasman so this trip should counter the encroaching "Princess" withdrawal symptoms.
Our Aussie friends have just done a trip on the Dawn Princess and had withdrawal symptoms of a different nature.
NO MORE ICED DOUGHNUTS AT BREAKFAST! They were shocked.
I mean to say that you can get toast at home. Whats the world coming to?
Anyway, I'm looking forward to chowing down on those grits, biscuits and gravy at breakfast time.
Give me U.S. based Princess tubs anytime.
The M&G will be in the usual place.

Saw the Diamond berthed at Sydney Overseas Terminal on the weekend, she sparkled.  ENJOY !

Thanks, Les and welcome back.
I hope your Ruby and Coral adventures went well.

So much for that plan.
We got made an offer we couldn't refuse so here comes the Ruby in the Med later this year.
Who needs Hobart with a deep depression approaching anyway?

G'day mate, yes Ruby and Coral fantastic.  No complaints about either cruise, ships and itinerary fantastic.  The Med was a little choppy but Atlantic fine,  I recommend Panama Canal. But it was all good, Greek Islands, The Med Ports.

You will enjoy Ruby in the Med.  Some great Ports.

Coral & Ruby, both nice, different deck plans but both great ships...
