Arrival back into Sydney, Wednesday, 21st June 2023

As the ship sailed closer to Sydney, the seas and weather slowly changed. It became cooler, wetter and higher seas. Ugh! The indicators of our lovely cruise coming to an end. 

The shopping of Duty Free, jewelry and souvenirs ramped up, Using our On Board Credit. A couple more Bingo sessions (the last was a Jackpot of $5,000), a Game Show I hadn't seen before of Deal or No Deal, Towel-Folding display, A Production Show and music entertainment kept us distracted for the last two sea days. 

Just a couple of hours sailing from Noumea.

Then the morning approached where we were able to watch the ship sail into Sydney Harbour and tie-up alongside the Overseas Passenger Terminal. Boo Hoo! Our lovely holiday had come to an end. 

Harbour Bridge lit-up as we approached OPT. 

I would like to thank my ship-mates for their company, making my holiday extra special. We waited through uncertain times to finally board the ship. And special acknowledgement to Kay J. who initially booked the cruise for us but due to health issues could not join us.

An appreciation to Carnival Cruises and Virgin Airlines for converting our payments into Future Credits and allowing us to use them before ceasing the availability.
