I know people on the thread have said there is a local bus but is that really doable? In my experience at least a quarter of the ship- in this case over 1000 people will intend to do the port on their own. This clearly is not compatible with a regular bus service. Hopefully RCL has made some provisions despite trying to force everyone onto the ship’s tours. I have been shocked at how Queensland ports have a have succumbed to the apparent monopoly of the Cruise lines. Everywhere else we have cruised to - the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, the Baltic, Asia and New Zealand have tours etc you can organise independently- not Queensland.

Thanks for that. Will shuttle buses be available does anyone know? We are travelling with my mother who is disabled and this is beginning to look too difficult. I planned on hiring a car for the day to get her around but the logistics might be too much.

I have been following this thread and would also love to know. What did the TA discover? Its not clear from your last post other than they have changed. But changed to what/ where? Unfortunately I booked directly with Royal so have no wonderful TA to help me!
