A special afternoon tea was one of the hits of the cruise
Beautiful ice carvings and treats from heaven were presented in a beautiful way in the britania resturant Photo shows about one fifth the size of the display

Inside one of the jap army tunnel systems ,Well made but very dark .Camera flash lights up tunnel architecture as well as the stud in front You may be able to see power wiring on floor
This tunnel system could be marketed to be a top tour destination

At War Mueseum This is a jap light amphibious tank ww2
It is a pity that it is rusting away being out in the weather no covers or preventive maintence

Cunard really provides excellent lecturers on many topics
The best lecturer was Dr John McMichan from the Mayo
Institute who gave several lectures on skin cancer/heart attacks/ostio arthritus and vitamins supplements myths and facts

Dining in the Britannia Restaurant was very good.We sat at a table for 6 and cunard matched us very well to our other table guests.Formal evening we were required to wear a tux and informal nights a suit or at least a tie and jacket .
Waiters were great and food excellent

Boarded Brisbane 24th Feb at Grain Terminal

!st port of call Cairns Went ashore in large catamaran excellent transport compared to ships tenders

2nd port of call Rabaul

Bed and pillows excellent (downfall only a feather dooner which causes overheating to body at night,What is needed are top sheets and light weight blankets Ships tap water is good for drinking no need for bottled water

Cabin staff excellent in every way

The ship is kept in immaculate condition

Dis embarking Was horrific Mix up in ports/luggage due to ships company releasing luggage out of sync with passenger dis embarking causing massive problems
