Coral Princess - September 2023 - Post 1

 On September 20th. I rejoined Coral Princess in Sydney for a 35 day cruise to Fiji, American Samoa, Hawaii, Tahiti, New Zealand and back. This is a favourite itinerary of mine, which I've cruised twice previously. To add to the enjoyment, dear friends Jules and Phil Garvin and Barry Cowdell were also aboard. It was a most enjoyable voyage with great weather, good food and excellent service throughout.
