gee, its 3 years later nearly 4, and never heard a thing, and here i am still wanting to do this cruise in feb 2013 from melbourne............looks like its just going to b a dream!!!

There are many ways to meet people on a cruise at the different activities the do. Also make sure you are included on a table for 8 or more at dinner so you can meet people over the course of dinner. The cruise line should also hook you up with fellow ship mates. via the Internet before you go. A lot of people go online to meet people and then have the pleasure of meeting you in real life plus you can make sure they are people with similar interests to you.

I have booked to go to New Zealand on 15-12-2012    leaving from Melbourne so I can have Christmas on the ship instead of going to relations
