Hubby and I have always wanted to go on a cruise. So, when a special deal was offered on the Pacific Star for a ten day cruise - we took it.
Ten days before our trip, the islands we were to visit experienced terrible storms. Pacific Star was badly damaged and the passengers had to be offloaded at Vanuata and flown home.
The ship travelled to Brisbane for repairs. We were informed the cruise would probably be cancelled.
Our travel agent phoned us a few days before our leaving date to ask us if we would mind leaving a day early and being flown to Brisbane to board the ship. Cool!!!!!!!
The P&O company booked a 747 for the passengers who were to travel from Auckland to Sydney. We had a ball on the flight. We stayed in a five star hotel in Brisbane. We were informed we could order anything from the restaurant and clear out the mini bar if we wished and P&O would foot the bill. Can you imagine someone telling me there was a free bar? I thought I'd died and gone to heaven.
Wow, the whole experience was fantastic. The best inconvenience I've ever been through...hehe!
More to come later

Last year I was 'inconvenienced' on a Royal Jordanian flight from London to Bangkok, when the connecting plane didn't connect in Amman. They dumped me and my fellow travellers in a grotty hotel with the world's most expensive bar for 4 days - without our luggage!
