They don't call it the poop deck for nothing.

Yep. That's it. Also has its own restaurant and with notice you can order anything. And this cruise is a culinary one. Sounds divine.

With your own permanent reserved table.

Passing Canberra airport, saw this, guess it’s related to the Sydney incident.

At least the SMH seems to have got it right.

Sydney Airport control tower evacuated due to ‘gas fumes’

Firefighters responded to an incident at the airport on Sunday that prompted a ground stop and two international flights from the United States to be diverted.

United Airlines flight UA101 from Houston to Sydney landed in Canberra about 8.13am AEDT.

sorry about the small photo.

The most magical office on earth

ORD AA F lounge around midday. Large lounge with maybe a dozen people in it. Perfect!

Camped out overnight in the Qantas AKL First Class Lounge cupboard office on Friday night. We were on the tarmac when it and the airport flooded at around 7pm. We hung out on the plane until about 2am - thankfully in J. The wine and champagne flowed - crew were excellent. We deplaned at around 2am.

The lounge staff were also top notch, keeping us fed and watered - it was a bit of an all night party. NZ Customs booted us all out and completely cleared the airside of the airport on Saturday morning. Flew out of AKL eventually on Sunday morning.

This is the lowest grade Queens Grill - Q6. I was a cheapskate! Grills category are the suites - Princess Grill and Queens Grill each with some levels within the category. Both have their own restaurant, a shared lounge and outside terrace area not available to other passengers.

Today we have a neighbour in Melbourne. Size difference is very obvious. Viking Orion.

Orion is the ship we cruised Alaska on. We are taking her much younger sister, Mars, on the May cruise. But all their ships are identical. Love seeing the Cunard at berth.

Look at all that wind?! Real bugga putting a big slab of a vessel alongside in a wind, and I bet it blows there constantly.
