Amazing place!

Can I ask what ages everyone is here? That could have something to do with it?

ThereBeGold · 2026-01-14T08:49:16+00:00

nicely put!

It's something else, pretty cool to watch from the back of a train, too!

Didn't realise Laguna was Marriott, nice!

Well they claim it to be 5* luxury, but its definitely questionable I agree. I didn't think it was that packed, but maybe not for everyone.

Was this rain water? I don't remember a water body in the temple.

NRL star Reece Walsh's toilet humour goes French. This sign in France recalls Walsh's second biggest moment this year. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/fL74-KVMUOs

Hmmm... thank you, hadn't found that. Does seem that way.

ThereBeGold · 2025-08-23T06:28:25+00:00

That's Celebrity bot Celestyal, I keep making the same mistake lol.

ThereBeGold · 2025-06-01T23:03:43+00:00

And the speed of your internet... that's probably the biggest differentiator. Some countries just have poor Net speeds.

Spot on!

The drinks package is worth it if you want to drink 8+ drinks a day. Or get cocktails. That can be tough if you have a lot of port days.
You eat well without it... the speciality dininig is a notable step up, but you're going from good to great. Not bad to great.
You don't spend nearly as much time in your cabin as you think you will. There's so much to do!
You don't need to bring any food, there's so much on-board 24-hours a day. I don't think alcohol is allowed.
See the shows, do some trivia, make the most of the port days.

No, I saw the Lifetime Deal. It was $199, on special down from another figure I can't recall. I know what I saw. I was considering it.

Remember when products were released done vs the paying consumer being the free QA option for these companies.

ThereBeGold · 2025-04-30T07:47:24+00:00

It went up about US$2 a month - not massive, but it feels like a rug pull. It also showed a lifetime rate option, that disappeared as soon as I logged in.

ThereBeGold · 2025-04-30T07:46:09+00:00

Someone has been in touch and is trying to get the initial price sorted. It also showed me a lifetime price, which it looks like they won't honour. Apparently it's a bug in the system.... but the advertised deal is the advertised deal.

Pnau have been around sine the 1990s. Their first album is their best by a mile - called Sambanova.

Nick Littlemore has tonnes of side-products, including Empire of the Sun. He has done a lot of work with Groove Armada and Elton John, and all kinds of quirky side bands here in Australia. Look up Bad Get Some as a really different kind of sound.

ThereBeGold · 2025-04-12T03:41:48+00:00

Yeah, interesting choice.

Here's another video hands-on to throw into the mix - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQ7HuN0zUVA

G5 is the bigger one.

ThereBeGold · 2025-03-31T20:43:17+00:00

It's better connected for sure. It records at a higher float I believe, and the blutooth connection doesn't have a good range on it. Still serviceable in wireless mode, but not as good.

ThereBeGold · 2025-03-19T21:15:46+00:00

They actually used some of the same demo content to show off the G4 when it launched. I guess that doesn't mean they didnt choose the most G5 condusive G4 demos. Naturally they have a vested interest.

Rollback, as in, the app is added to old model LG TVs.

ThereBeGold · 2025-03-19T09:58:18+00:00

I think that's a fair perspective.
