TRAVEL BLOG: The South Australian Round Trip Cruise

As well as it being the ships FIRST TIME in Australia; the Discovery Princess (my new favourite ship) also made cruising history in many ways from 'first time Port Visits, and more;' you'll see how as you read on. On Wednesday 25th February 2026, the Paky Express Bus picked us up from our house, and took us to the Melbourne Airport. We arrived at 11:30am with enough time to check in, and have lunch before boarding the plane for our 2pm flight to Sydney. The flight arrived in Sydney early at 3:20pm. Once at the gate, we got off the plane, collected our luggage, and went to my uncles place; where we spent the first two days of our Holiday exploring my original home town. It was great seeing all the updates! The Departure day has finally arrived Our departure day has finally arrived, and it’s time for our cruise! On Saturday 28th February 2026, my Uncle drove us to the tram stop in Bondi Junction for our short trip to Circular Quay (S...

TRAVEL BLOG: Cruising Queensland 2.0

On Friday 17th November 2023, I booked the Queensland cruise (take two) after my original cruise was cancelled due to the pandemic. The International borders eventually reopened, all the restrictions have lifted, and the opportunity came to attempt the cruise again. The cruise was booked, and this time I made it. THE DEPARTURE HAS FINALLY ARRIVED: Two years after our original cruise got canceled due to COVID; our departure day has FINALLY arrived. I woke up at 8 o’clock for my usual morning walk with Bella (my greyhound) before having breakfast, and do the final preparations before meeting my sister, who drove mum and I to Station Pier wharf to meet the Grand Princess Cruise Ship. We left at 12:15pm, and my sister drove us to the wharf. When we finally got to our cabin, we unpacked and headed up to the Horrizon food court for lunch before our Master station drill and the departure. After dinner we return to the cabin for a sh...

It's the Paky Express to the rescue

Do you live in Victoria, and need a lift to Melbourne International or Domestic Airport for a flight to meet your cruise ship? Good news, the Paky Express is here to help. The Paky Express offers transport services in the South Eastern suburbs of Victoria. The small bus transport service picks passengers up from, and drops them off at the Train Stations of 'Pakenham, Officer, Beaconsfield, Berwick, Narre Warren, Hallam, Dandenong' for an affordable rate which will save money on ‘tolls, parking, and fuel’ which means your family, or friends don’t need to stress about getting you to the Airport in time to meet your flight. But that’s not all. The Paky Express can also drop you off at your place BUT this all depends on how many people are on board. However, you’ll need to ask your driver about this. The Pakenham Express uses the latest small model transport vehicles. Seat belts are on bo...

Cheer cheer the red and the whites... Princess Cruises style

Exciting news for all you Sydney Swans fans out there. Princess Cruises is the official cruise line of the Sydney Swans, and the crew has just announced their line up for the ‘2026 Sydney Swans Cruise' in celebration of the 2025 AFL season. I’m a huge Sydney Swans supporter, and if I still lived in Sydney I would’ve probably booked a cabin on this cruise because ‘it departs on my birthday!’ It's a three night round trip cruise to Eden with the Discovery Princess. Guests for this ‘footy themed cruise’ include: ‘John Longmire, Michael O’Loughlin, Scott Gowans, Natalie Fagg, and the co-captain of the AFLWs Chlor Molloy.’ Be quick, spots sell fast, and more Swans talent to be announced via: https://www.sydneyswans.com.au/news/1736295/swans-take-to-the-sea-princess-cruises-inaugural-afl-member-cruise-sets-sail. The cruise is departing from the Sydney Overseas Passenger Terminal in circular Quay on the 15th of January, and the cruise incl...

Limited Packing Tips.

When it comes time to pack for my cruising adventure 'I am a major over packer.' I always take way too much than need, and I've even experienced some problems because of it. I live in Melbourne now, and I now have to fly to Sydney to meet the cruise ship because of an cruise industry rental increase in China. Plus, there's an issue. Because of the flight I'm now limited in what can pack for the cruise itself.' That's why I enlisted some help from these two videos: ' Packing like a PRO with this EASY method (Pack for 2 weeks with a carry on only) ,' and How To Pack For A Cruise In A Carry On Only for all of my contracts at sea, and I'm sharing them here to help you pack for your next cruising adventure. Shoes Yes, it's challenging; but limit your shoes to 'three pairs.' · One pair of Formal sandals for the Formal Nights, · One pair of deck shoes (ie flip plops) for the sea days, a...
