From a reader: A friend of mine called from the ship and told me they are experiencing very rough seas in the Tasmanian Sea. She is a very experienced cruiser and she said these are the roughest seas she has ever experienced. Passengers are not allowed on deck, waves are crashing into the balconies and dishes are breaking and crashing in the dining rooms. The ship is scheduled to reach Sydney on the 13th. From a passenger: Utter nonesense. I am on board the Voyager. Was it rough - yes, it is the Tasman Sea. There were signs posted asking us not to go out on decks 5 and 6 - for our own safety. I am on deck 7 and would not have been stupid enough to go out on my balcony but we were not "forbidden". Hardly the catastrophy the poster led the readers to beleive . . . we're in Sydney today - cool and overcast
