Golden Princess - December 2018 - Post 1

On 17th. December I rejoined Golden Princess for Christmas / New Year cruises to Tasmania and New Zealand. We were very fortunate with the weather, smooth seas and sunny days throughout. The food and service on board were excellent, as always.

Wineglass Bay.

From my cabin.

A beautiful day in Hobart.

At Port Arthur.

Rounding Tasman Island.

A lovely evening on the Promenade Deck.

A sunny day in the Sounds.

RCL's Ovation of the Seas sailing from Port Chalmers.

Wellington, always a beautiful port of call in good weather.

Mt. Manganui - another favourite.

Viking Orion at Auckland.

Around the ship.

Christmas decorations in the Atrium.

A very good guitarist from the ship's entertainment staff.

More enjoyable music in the Wheelhouse Bar.

Each to their own, but how anyone finds this permanent graffiti appealing is beyond me.

The Maitre d', Carlos Da Rosa,  had a Portuguese speciality, bacalhau (cod) made for me.

I always get an authentic Indian meal made for me. With my excellent waiter Chatchai and Head Waiter Prashant.

With the ship's Master at the Most Travelled Passengers' lunch. I came in second with 704 Princess cruise days.

With good friends from several previous cruises, Terri and John.
