Hi Dingbats, I just reserved my excursions this AM. Since the ship is full, that lead me to book one for $ excursion in Melbourne. Not knowing if it will fill up or not, I wanted to be assured to get that tour. We have our hotels booked and flights to Cairns and back arranged!! Now just to get our visas and pack!!

Carolyn, I'm with you on the excitement level for this trip!!
