Robyn, what a terrific itinerary. I hope tp be doing something similar in the next year. It is going to be so much fun stalking you and Liz. I can hardly wait for your adventure to start.

Fabulous cruise Robyn.......
and the last chance to do it on our favourite ship .
Next season we will have Sun Princess instead of Pacific Princess.
Friends have booked the Nov07 circumnavigation cruise and they say it is heavily booked all ready.They are going with friends and got the last 2 balconies ,side by side, in the grade they wanted, and on the port side.
Pacific Princess will be wonderful.......
Can you imagine nearly 2,000 passengers descending on Thursday Island?
Some of the Thursday Islanders probably don't even realise that there are that many people in the whole wide world.
It is indeed a wonderful itinerary David, and I'm so pleased that Liz will discover Australia this way. Am also doubly glad that we are doing the voyage on Pacific Princess, with only 670 pax - I love that ship :D
Not surprised the Nov 07 voyage is already heavily booked, your friends will have a wonderful time I'm sure - but agree, 2000 pax on Thursday Island???? :shock:
Robyn, looks great :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Looked up Bight on Wikipedia and see the Australian one is a Prominent Bight! Does that mean the sea sticks up prominently??? :? :?
Bight (geography)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In geography, a bight has two meanings. It can be simply a bend or curve in any geographical feature—usually a bend or curve in the line between land and water. Alternatively, it can refer to a large (and often only slightly receding) bay. It is distinguished from a sound by being shallower.
Prominent bights
Great Australian Bight
Bight of Benin
Bight of Bonny
German Bight or Heligoland Bight
New York Bight
Southern California Bight
The Great Australian Bight is HUGE - stretches across 2 large states - Western & South Australia - so suppose that is Prominent enough? :D It is part of the Great Southern Ocean - there is nothing between there and Antarctica :shock:
It is also a Marine Park - and, it is notorious for 'rock and roll' weather (which I love) :D :D
Thanks for the info from Wikipedia, now I must go look up the Bight of Benin & Bight of Bonny - don't know those.

Thanks Lena - Liz & I can hardly wait either - it has been around a year or so since we booked :roll:
Are you coming to Australia in the next year or so? Would love the chance to welcome you "Down Under" :D :D
So many cruisers in late Nov / Dec. We are going to be so busy stalking_ especially as Liz is away for a week.
I prefer to wait until Jan when the price is reduced( most people have no money left after Christmas; I buy my presents before then use the credit card.
This year I have to wait a whole 14 months- talk about sulking corner!

That's an awesome itinerary.... Wow...... You go girls.....lol..... That's a dream itinerary for me.... And a Tahitian itinerary too..... So many cruises and so little money...... :wink:

Dani - you are going to LOVE next March :P

- checking the itinerary to see 'where are they today' (yawn)
- logging on to the forum to read our messages (assuming Liz doesn't overheat all the computers onboard :wink: ),
- wondering how HOT it is in Oz while you are freezing in Kansas
.....it's going to be SUCH FUN !!!!!!
