Comment on Discount airport parking by Andrew Lawrence

I’ve found a good airport car park close to Sydney Airport’s domestic terminals in Mascot. They charge $10 per day which includes free shuttle transfers. It’s heaps cheaper than using the Airport’s own car parks.

Regards,

Comment on Party Ship Athena by Steve `Grumpy' Collins

Hi Iain, No problem, I’ll do a story about Superstar Virgo for you, so you can get an understanding on what you missed out on. Re: drinking. In Australian waters anyone over 18 is legally allowed to drink alcohol. There are no rules in international waters, so crew would use their discretion there and you would assume that anyone aged under 18 would be travelling with parents or adult supervision anyway. In places like the U.S. the drinking age is 21 so cruise lines would usually obey those regulations. In Europe it is common for children to have a glass of wine with dinner, often it is watered down, so if children are dining with parents they may allowed to be served.
