Neri, who is a citizen of the Philippines, is charged with transportation of child pornography and possession of child pornography. Neri, 44, told investigators that he downloaded and bought links for files containing adult pornography via group chats on Telegram and Facebook Messenger. When asked about folders on one of his phones, including one that depicted sexually explicit images of a 17-year-old girl, he said he must have saved it to his phone without looking at it after receiving it in one of the group chats. She was later transported to the Centro Medico Hospital to receive treatment. The pregnant passenger was taken to Fernando Luis Ribas Dominicci Airport in San Juan, where emergency service personnel were waiting, the US Coast Guard said.

This diversity of homeports will give more travelers the opportunity to experience the uniqueness of a Disney cruise, and will gauge the popularity of the cruise line Down Under. In fall of 2024, Disney Cruise Line will return to Australia and New Zealand for a second season of vacations after a set of bucket-list itineraries. The Disney Wonder will sail from Vancouver, Canada, to Honolulu, Hawaii, in late September 2024 with stops on the islands of Kauai, Maui and Hawaii before arriving in Oahu. From Hawaii, families will set sail on a transpacific voyage to Sydney, Australia, that will take them through the South Pacific to visit once-in-a-lifetime destinations such as Fiji, American Samoa and New Caledonia.

Sailing all the way to Australia, the 13-night cruise featured visits to different destinations in the South Pacific, including Fiji, New Caledonia, and American Samoa, before arriving in Sydney.

A sister to the original 1998-built Disney Magic, the Disney Wonder originally entered service in 1999 as Disney Cruise Line’s second cruise ship. To reach Sydney, the Disney Wonder performed what is called a repositioning cruise, where ships relocate by sailing with passengers on a special itinerary. It’s available 24/7 and it’s free (although some items and beverages will incur a fee). Other room service offerings are breakfast items, healthy burgers, hot dogs, fresh salads, appetisers, grilled salmon, and delicious desserts.

Empty suitcases can generally be stored under beds, but if you’re only going for a few nights, a soft bag can sometimes be easier to store. There will be four home ports – Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Auckland – with the first sailing set to depart 28th October 2023 out of Sydney. Families and Disney fans have a reason to celebrate today, because after two and a half decades of operation, the Disney Cruise Line is finally set to arrive in Australia and New Zealand in late 2023. Those musicals include a Frozen show; another production dedicated to the company's old-school favourites like Peter Pan, Pinocchio, Cinderella and Aladdin; and a Golden Mickeys performance, which is obviously all about Mickey Mouse. Or, there's a Mickey party set to DJ beats, nightly fireworks and a pirate shindig on the vessel's deck. Come October 2023, Disney Cruise Line will head Down Under for the first time ever, running Disney-themed holiday cruises from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Auckland.

Earlier this year, Disney Cruise Line established roots in the region by registering as a business in Australia and an unnamed ship has been spotted on port calendars. Please note the “international date line” portion of the transpacific itineraries. Disney Cruise Line set up a Hawai’i and South Pacific Cruises webpage to highlight the new offerings. Close to the Brisbane Airport (BNE) and public transportation, the Port of Brisbane is accessible to visitors near and far. Located in Australia’s third largest city, the port provides easy access torestaurants, pubs and shopping. Worthwhile day trips include the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary and Australia Zoo.

Bookings open to the general public from Thursday, 29th September 2022 at 8am AEST / 11am NZDT. The International Date Line (IDL) is an imaginary line on the surface of the Earth, established by the International Meridian Conference of 1884, that runs from the north to the south pole and demarcates one calendar day from the next. It passes through the middle of the Pacific Ocean, roughly following the 180° longitude but it deviates to pass around some territories and island groups. My husband and I live on the East Coast of Canada.

When I am not working I love travelling, crafting, photography, playing board games, and planning vacations. Of course Disney is ALL about the characters and they are all here… Goofy, Pluto, Daffy, Cinderella, Ariel, the Marvel characters… and of course true Disney royalty, Captain's Mickey And Minnie Mouse. Just down the hall is Oceaneer's Lab for the same age group where there's games, drawing, not to mention plenty of visits from the Disney and Marvel characters themselves. For the tweens and almost adults there's the chill-out spaces of The Edge (ages 11-14) and Vibe (14-17) to play video games or just hang out. It's strictly no parents allowed and your kids are cared for and monitored at all times by counselors and a Disney wristband.
