First they came for my Fastpass, and I said nothing...

G'day Tahlzy, Just wanted to clear one of the things in your post up - HNL is pretty much halfway between the east coast of Australia and Orlando, Just under 10 hours direct from Sydney or Melbourne on Jetstar, Qantas or Hawaiian Airlines, and a return trip costs between $1000-1900 AUD...

Can I offer a piece of advice from Down Under - do whatever you can to keep sports betting out of broadcast sports - be it ESPN or anywhere else. Australians in general love a "punt" and they love sport, and sports betting and off track bookmaking are common things here (in fact off track...

As well as can be expected, I suspect pretty similar to there (just less guns being sold)!

I’m not around the boards as much lately, but seems like for the next little while this community that @WebmasterPete built might be a whole lot more important for all of us. We are all about to go through some difficult times, and it’s community that will see us through - I’ll greedily say how...

It's a really interesting question (that I deal with on a pretty much daily basis) here in Australia. I work for a union with really diverse "coverage" - from manufacturing workers and health professionals through to hotel cleaners (and broomstick makers and everyone in between) The simple...

I'll save you the research Jes. No, Australians don't have a constitutional right to "Freedom of Speech", however, the High Court has determined that Australians enjoy a constitutionally protected right to "Freedom of Political Expression and Communication" - it's not in the text - it's in the...

Now all booked too. Arriving into Rome via Sydney, Bangkok and Dubai at lunch time on the 21st, Home from Venice via Vienna, Monaco, Dubai and Hong Kong :cool2:. I am flying out of Venice on the 3rd at 10:55am - if anyone is looking to share a water taxi let me know. Don't be too concerned...

Anyone for dessert? Ah the memories come rushing back...

I actually think that is achievable and actually reasonably simple. You are just adding in an extra bit of travel time - and you will need to be prepared to wrangle luggage - but probably no worse than any other pre trip scenario (although I find that provides inspiration not to overpack) I...

I'm thinking of flying in and out of Milan, maybe some time in Como/Milan/Florence (or all of the above) and then catching the train down to the ship. Oh, and hey everyone welcome aboard

A Yorkshire pudding is very similar to a popover. And you are right, traditionally served with a roast dinner with gravy - less so in Australia but certainly in the UK

Aussie here - been to Disneyland Hong Kong (its tiny, and when I was last there some years ago, it's coming attraction was Small World) and Universal Singapore (was there last month) - think a smaller, more "safe and mild" version of Islands of Adventure (with a casino underneath!!!), but never...

The first thing to understand about the planned changes to dining on the Oasis is that the heart of the plan is a shift from the "Main Dining Room concept" and divide the big multilevel room into different restaurants that have fixed menus. The new complimentary restaurants that take over the...

I have done the Platinum Plan a couple of times. When we booked it the first time, I think we basically looked at what we were prepared to spend on a vacation, the total was about the same as a cruise we were looking at, and the Platinum plan is even more inclusive than a cruise. I just...

Kristen, Grief is the price we pay for love, but it goes, and joy comes - we know not how. From the other side of the world my heart goes out to you. Just over 15 years ago my high school sweetheart and I were in a car accident - we were driving to visit her father to tell him that we...

I think these are cute, but they don't appear to seal at all so i would think the wet bag just gets stinky in your luggage. I do a reasonable amount of travel - I use a combination of Zip Lock Bags and packing cubes. I pack each "type" of item in a different packing cube, and then use...

I usually travel as much as possible without Cash, and grab a small amour from an ATM (Think 40 pounds ish) to keep in my wallet for coffee/water/bottle of coke kind of purchases. One thing to be aware of, if you are carrying pounds that you want to exchange for euros the exchange rates at...

Room Service for in room coffee but I don't think Kevin mentioned it, but there is also the donut bar that is open for breakfast on the Boardwalk - half a dozen different donuts, and filtered coffee. From our rooms that was a pretty short trip down a hallway and around a corner - no lines, just...

Apart from the casino, the RCCL ships are cash free.
