AFF Cruise #2. Rerun. Crown Princess 4 nights 25-29 January 2025

Just noticed that the Australian Museum in Darlinghurst has quite a swanky exhibition on Machu Picchu

 
For any chocolate lovers out there (YKWYA) two recommendations in Hobart

Coal River Farm shop in the Cat and Fiddle Arcade. BTW we will be berthing at Macquarie Wharf No 3, E-W if we are first in, NS if not.

These are fabulous (but expensive - think $2.50/chokkie)

If you are going outside Hobart, you'll find the farm on the road to Richmond from Cambridge (about where the airport is). Great place for lunch. Need to book.


Nutpatch, opposite Parliament House. Last time I was there, they were a bit sensitive about pics being taken in the shop. Ask first (as you would do anyway, I know :) )

Of course if you are into whiskey, there is the global award winning Lark Distillery cellar door also on the docks https://larkdistillery.com/#

if you are into gin, its a matter of avoiding the gin places rather than finding them.

For a nice feed of fish for lunch, you can go to any of the fish punts in Constitution dock (next to Lark Cellar Door), Muirs restaurant (the red roof between the two docks - upstairs is a la carte, downstairs bistro) or Fish Frenzy at the beginning of the shed on Elizabeth St Pier Fish Frenzy, Hobart Tasmania | Seafood restaurant serving fish & chips, salad and hot chowder on Hobart’s waterfront | Now accepting WechatPay, Alipay, BestPay
 
Most people should have their boarding passes by now and I suspect that they all say 'Check-in Window 1230 - 1500'. For those who wish to drop bags off the baggage tags are also available to be printed.

I don't believe there is such a thing as the correct time to avoid the crowds. We are going to meet a couple of others between 1300 and 1330.

Another SMALL thing I think I forgot to mention.

As soon as you are in your stateroom and are able, turn on the tele and watch the safety presentation then go to your muster station and checkin.
The system is smart enough to know if both people are in the room so you can't cheat the system.
