On the Last cruise of 75 days, I gained less than half a kilo in weight.   On the Cherry Blossom Cruise of 42 days, I lost half a kilo.

When cruising, I limit myself to three meals a day, not one meal that lasts all day.

I don't drink, alcohol, that is but consume lots of lemonade and coffee.   Further, up untill I injured my right leg on the last cruise, I never used the lifts, always the stair cases.   Plenty of exercise there.

I do much the same thing, unless there are to many flights of stairs to go.
Still put on 3.5Kg in 11 days. I have since shed half of it.

Hi Trigg. It may have been a second attack in 66. We arrived in Aus just before christmas 56. I came aboard the MV Fairsea. A sister ship the Fairstar was well known in Australia as the Funship as a cruise liner later.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suez_Crisis

Some friends of ours came to Aus in 1967 on the Fairsky, which I believe might have been another sister ship to these.

The SITMAR LINE. Fairsea, Fairstar. Fairsky and the Castel Felicia, I believe were the ships of the line during that time. I Know a few others have come and gone before and since. I think P&O bought them out.

Sitmar Lines, the ships with the blue "V" on a yellow funnel.   Those were the days.

My dad left Southampton on the Fairsky in Feb 1959, the advance party of the family.   The rest of of us followed on the SS Strathnaver, leaving Tilbury on the 2 Jun 59 arriving Sydney 9 Jul 59.

Oh what a voyage.   Would love to do it all over again.

Those days and ships will never ever return me thinks.

I go down to the docks in Melbourne when the big ships come in for a visit.   Cant wait for the Queen Mary 2 to berth on the 21 Mar 13.

We all better be carfull as this topic has been hijacked well and truely and we will all get a warning from the "jury" me thinks.

 What ANOTHER ten pound tourist:shok:
And there I was thinking that I was the only one left after the rest of em went back home Whinging:biggrin:
I arrived in 1974 and have NEVER regretted my parent’s decision to become part of the amazing community of people that make up today’s modern Australia.
I may have been born a Brit but evolved into an Aussie over the years.
No I am not a boat person, I came by Plane :dance2:

:off_topic: sorry :angel:

Most of the original Aussies were pommies anyway, although most were NOT the cream of society.:dodgy:
Most of them were thugs and thieves :laugh2::diablo:
Even the Aboriginals are immigrants originally.:angel:
It just goes to show that no matter what colour or country of origin we come from, in the end we are ALL Aussies and bloody proud of it.
