Sorry to say we have not boarded the Golden Princess in Auckland today.


BUT there is good news.   We were offered a 'Move Over Offer' which we decided to take:

• Cruise fare as refundable on board credit on our next cruise
• 14 day free cruise anywhere in the world
• Category Cabin upgrade where possible
• plus other extras

So we are now planning another option - perhaps Panama Canal

Packing Day

Well packing day is here.

Our secret weapons are packing cubes.   You can fit so much in them.

Once on board open the the suitcase pick the cubes out and place in drawers or on shelves and unzip.

We manage to get all our clothes - a complete change for each day for two people into one large spinner suitcase.    Camera, power chair charger etc goes into our carry-on, including our wine.   I am always amazed how we do it!

Have a few blocks of Whittakers Chocolate to give away to staff.   Just so they know that Cadbury Chocolate has a New Zealand rival!

Two days of work left.....
