Welcome to my travel blog. We are occasional cruisers, usually with the aim of travelling at least once each year.

Previously I have published each cruise with a separate blog. I have now decided to combine them all in a single location. This blogs primary purpose is to keep a summary of our cruises for ourselves.
The Brisbane ship tab is a list of upcoming ships into Brisbane for the ship watcher enthusiast. The photo tab are cruise ship photos. World cruise blog tab has links to follow, making it easier if you access the blog by a mobile device and can't see my reading list on the right.

Embarkation day, Wednesday 27th December 2017

Today is the day. The Pacific Aria is at dockside waiting for us to arrive, and the other 1400 passengers.

We arrived at Portside at about 11.20 am for our 11 am check-in. This was the earliest time slot and there was quite a crowd in line. We finally made it on board and deposited all our stuff to our cabin, and met our stewards. Our luggage had also turned up, beating us there. The cabin is essentially exactly the same as the cabin we had in 2015. Only the colour of the throw cushions were different. Click here for cabin 9066.

Next was lunch and we headed to the pantry to check it out.
Seating in the pantry area.
