What a difference in the weather between yesterday and today. We have gone from windy, sunny and hot to cloudy with a warm breeze this morning to almost gusty in the afternoon and it was very much cooler. The ship was still quiet on the open decks so finding a bed wasn’t a problem and never has been on this cruise
There has been nothing notable about today other than the battery on my medallion giving up the ghost so I made the same trip as Nicole did yesterday to Guest Services to get a replacement. There was quite a queue of people all in the same predicament in that they were locked out of their cabin.
We have said goodbye to a few friends today as there are 600 getting on and off at Brisbane tomorrow. Cabin allocation must have been an absolute nightmare for someone and all those that are getting in are only on for 2 days. Our after dinner drink venue is a bar called Adagio. It’s free from music or ridiculous games, the seating is really comfortable and the bar staff are great, it’s taken us nearly 3 weeks to find it, but at least we did. I believe it is used by suite guests and higher ranked Captains Circle members for pre dinner drinks and serves as the bar for Sabatini’s next door. I wish we had discovered it sooner.
Short post today but tomorrow it should be longer as we have a day in Brisbane.

WHAT? They actually have a bar where you can have a conversation? I didn’t know those existed on a mainstream cruise line. AMAZING that you found it.
I have been following your trip with great interest as I get on Crown Princess when you get off. It doesn’t sound like you did any of the entertainment options. Is that because they weren’t any good? Thank you for this blog!
Hello Phil, we only used the theatre once as there wasn’t really anything that took our fancy. We did try for one of the production shows but even arriving 15 minutes earlier it was packed so we gave up. The passenger mix is very old on this cruise so I imagine the shows were most desirable to that age bracket.
We are not ones for game shows or ball room dancing so it did limit our evening options. Enjoy your cruise 👍🏻
