boat cruise

[mozzie]

hi all !!!!!
just come back from the pacific jewel boat cruise,went to noumea,mystery island and isle of pines for 8 nights and wow talk about the time of my life...
great food,great shows,great snorkeling..wow..i,m sitting here on the stool and struggling to stay on it it's quiet funny i seem to want to fall of all the time and going through security at the airport i walked into the scanner and got a terrible look from the security guards :lol::lol:
i,m sun burnt and not to impressed about starting work tomorrow but it must be done..:mad2:.i try'd to use my bino's on the boat but i bit to much movement and the ship is lit up way to much to see..though the sunsets were fantastic and the full moon :thumbsup::thumbsup:..sounds like elise is going to the travel agents to see about booking another in 18 months well can't complain about that... couple of weeks to astro camp better get back to work..

Excellent mate... I'm actually going on the same cruise early next month.

Bummer the binos didn't work, I was thinking of taking mine along, but I think I'll leave them at home.

Great to hear u had fun, can't wait for my turn... Lol

[Barrykgerdes]

Take your binos.
From Peter's decription ;):lol:I would not be sure it was the boat movement that was at fault:thumbsup:. I did many "cruises" with the "Grey funnel line". Had no trouble with binos.

:lol: I wanted to take a breath for you - you were wrote like you were talking really fast. :lol:

So you can really feel those big ships move side to side hey.. I was wondering that just the other day. I get sea sick just looking at a boat.:mad2: Give me binos on top of that and I'd be stupendously sick. I'm good in a little tin boat floating down an inlet tho.:P:lol:
Glad you enjoyed your holiday Peter.

davin that's a better time to go i think,next cruise will be in a november for us the water was still a little cool on the islands and up on deck of a night was still cool but most enjoyable

[mozzie]

no drink for me barry not a sipp...but did struggle with the bino's 9x63 jupiter was all over the place and the ship is that bright of a night,they didn't even have an astronomy night :sadeyes::mad2:

[mozzie]

yes i do don't i suzy can't type quick enough and have just fallen of the edge of the lounge!!!! it's a funny feeling...

[jenchris]

Yes I did the "Grey Funnel Line" thing too - 12 years!
Take your binos - there's a spot behind the funnel which is pretty much enclosed with only minimal lighting - and of course you can cop a skeg at the islands as you approach during daylight.

Sounds like you had a great time mozzie , did you stay away from all the tempting stuff on the buffet ? :)

[jjjnettie]

Glad to hear you had a great time Peter. :D
If you're keen to go on a cruise at the end of next year, may I recommend this one.

This one will most definitely be Astronomy and Science orientated. :D

Great to hear you all had a great time. How did the boys enjoy themselves? Sounds like you will have a grin on your face for some time. Say Hi to Elise and the boys from us.

[mozzie]

yes for the islands it would be good. but you can't get up to the funnel it's out of bounds the crew use that area,i tryed to find a dark spot but was unable..

[mozzie]

a little hear and there graham but there was plenty of health food...
every morning did 3 walks up the 12 story steps and walked around the top deck to keep a little fit...

[mozzie]
