I wouldn't go on the big ships either, but I've been on flash Phinisi live-aboards travelling around PNG and Raja Ampat, you won't find a better holiday it's a tropical paradise on our doorstep. Not now though, I feel sorry for the crews and operators, they'd be gutted by this virus.

Target practice for the RAAF.

Agree...Cruise ships are highly expensive to buy and run and companies just cut costs and health standards, only place I can think of that had equally bad hygiene standards was the old " swagman restaurant" in Ferntree Gully. ??

How about: Smorgies, Sizzler, Sophias etc.

The Swagman would clean and put food back out again after scraping it from customers plates....did have the odd pizza at Sophia's and survived...just.

I guess I should clarify my love of ocean travel... I did all mine on Navy warships and as you can imagine, they were spotless from top to bottom - and so were the sailors.  And the food was bloody terrific. I've not sailed on a holiday cruise ship and much like everyone else, would be very hesitant to do so. If I won Tatts I'd probably give the Queen Mary a lash, but that would probably be it.

BUT, maybe this recent cr@p will send the bad operators bust and cause good operators to step up... maybe there will in future be much greater attention given to medical and cleanliness on these liners? If there is, I'd give it a go... if I could afford it!

This cr@p is also sorting out the airline industry... not a form of transport I enjoy, I can only fly after my mandatory Valium sanger washed down with a shot of vodka (this is NOT a recommendation!!!!). Being 37,000 ft in the sky in a narrow metal tube, and cramped, is not my idea of a good time.

Used to love travelling interstate by train when they had sleepers (Melb to Sydney)... ah, the Southern Aurora... now that was a train! I bet there're few here who remember her.

Agree about the big ships, there is probably only one to have a crack at as you mention, although I've had a friend do Antartica on a research vessel and said he do it again in a heartbeat. I've had some friends who did some No-Casino cruises around Alaska and Acrtic Circle they said they were worth doing again.

Some serious train holidays are available, my dream retirement holiday would be to book a private car and set our own schedule on something like this. Cape Town to Dar Es Salaam on the Rovos, 1st Class. I've been on a number of special train journeys, mostly steam trains in single or double header configuration. https://www.rovos.com/gallery/train-suites

Great Southern also do a private Carriage, sleeps about 6 or 8 people.

There are some serious small ships/boats doing the Ring of Fire region or Greek Isles. Many under 50 passengers, pool, spa and bar with serious tucker and wine lists. Any bigger and they can't really get to the areas you want to go into! The best I've been on have been converted luggers and clippers in a luxury configuration less than 20 passengers and crew. The Greek Isles is a bit desolate at the moment, economy has crashed and left it decimated.

The trick for all these seems to be to get a group together a book the whole boat or carriage, then the price comes right down, but you need people who get on together as you know from your navy days.

Safest form of transport in the world Baggers.  if you did fly every day of your life, probability indicates that it would take you nineteen thousand years before you would succumb to a fatal accident. Nineteen thousand years!  That's a fact ... and 15 times safer than a train

I don't mind flying once I'm in the plane, most seriously good holidays start with one or more flights, the best holidays have required 2 or 3 days of airport hopping.

Which gets me to the part of flying I hate, airports, they are cattle yards for humans and are a seriously neglected part of the travel experience. Coming from me that is a hell of a tell, because for work I've flown business class for years and it's still horrible despite the perks.
