yeah it goes insane, everyone is written off for the 9 days or whatever it is, even the staff get into it, the boat is a bit of a shitbox, but the crew are funny little fuckers so it evens it out, i work on the boat everytime it docks into sydney so i know a fair amount of the crew and how things get done on the ship. when u stop off in new caledonia make sure u go out at night to the local pubs and kava bars clubs, instead of staying on the ship. The locals will get u plasted, as they are all french and just keep shouting drinks

The Schoolies Cruz it the best thing you will ever do. It so good its insane. You get ur own toilet in ur cabin but theres no exhaust fan so it gets so so steamy in there, only choice is to get dressed in room with ur mates. The breakfasts are so shit, the lunch is okay, and the dinner is awesome. 5 courses with 2 formal nights! Also P&O automatically take $4.50 a day out of ur account to tip the staff! this is bull shit, that was like so much between the eight of us. We cancelled it and tiped the crew ourselves. Tip ur waiter early in the cruise and you'll get so good service. We gave our waiter (Sahir, if you see him say hi!) $20 on the first night and the next night he was waiting at our table! He pushed our chairs in and all that it was so good. We went in blind on night (we ate at 8) and there was music so we danced with him!. Piss is cheap compared to some clubs. ur lookin at 5 bucks for a bourbon and coke. same for a crowny. You meet so many ppl. its wicked. One hint, take some hairy lemon or berocca. It made the cruise so much longer. you dont need as much sleep. And drink plenty of water because it stops sea sickness and hang overs. If your hung over you get the shits cause you cant party. And 4 all those who dont go clubing go b4 you go and learn to let urself dance, you have more fun. I took $600 and it lasted only because i bought a litre of wild turkey rare breed. Its 50% alcohol. I recommend buying the highest % alcohol you can. For the guys rare breed or OP, the girls Shmirnoff blue.

It will be the best time of your life. But be warned, after you get back you will have PCD

Post cruise depression.

Me and my mates had it. You'll want to be back on the ship and you'll be thinking of all the chicks you've met. I got a Deck load of numbers.

If you dont go on the cruise you are ignorant. It is the best thing that i have ever done.

Last note, underagees dont worry thats not going to stop you :) and watch ur card that you put ur money on because if someone gets it they can spend all ur money, theres no pin or anything. It happened to me.

Later ppls.

I'm on the 8th too - can't wait! My ex-boyfriend went on one of the cruise's last year and there's only reception when you're in a port or coming into Sydney Harbour. Other than that, they don't work. His friend's phone also got stolen on the last day, so you have to watch out for that.
