I am sure they will be glad to put feet on terra ferma joanne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandielle Posted June 22, 2010 #360 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Looks like it, doesn't it? I've only seen ships enter from this end so of course the pic is reversed and looks a bit different. Also they seem to begin in the dark so it's not clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cairo is some 3 hours bus drive away, there is very little in Port Said to see or do according to some friends of ours who stayed onboard the day of the excursion to the Pyramids. I recall our friends being quite cranky that there was nothing there - it really is only a pyramids stop, and they felt it was a waste of a day unless you visited the pyramids. I'll be interested to read what other people think of the area around Port Said. Naturally vendors set up stalls right outside the ships gang plank and that presents some level of interest.

Gaznjo Posted June 22, 2010 Author #362 Share Posted June 22, 2010 "Cairo is some 3 hours bus drive away" lol realised this after going to google earth when garry questioned my statement LOL... it is a shame that next year they didn't pick a different port like alexandria ( i presume it is just as far away to the pyramids..hmm must check google earth again LOL ) even though I am of greek descent my mother was born in alexandria.......... She was on one of the first cruise ships ( strathmore ) to come to australia straight after the WW2 joanne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Australian family Posted June 22, 2010 #363 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I like this picture, obviously a warning to the pirates. I dare say the blogs will be quiet for a few days, as everyone will be busy visiting the pyramids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandielle Posted June 22, 2010 #364 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Actually, AF, they hung that banner over the sides when we were anchored at Akaroa, and also Lifou. If it wasn't exactly the same it was similar - a warning for small boats to keep away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazzaw Posted June 23, 2010 #365 Share Posted June 23, 2010 The way P&O organise visits to the pyramids on their World Cruise - is that they drop the pyramids tour people off at Suez and pick them up 12 hours or so later at the other end of the Suez Canal at Port Said. It is going to be lovely and quiet for those of us left aboard for the Suez transit. I wonder if there is some way we could leave them behind :rolleyes::rolleyes: Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used this banner when we went to Port Douglas...not many pirates there :rolleyes: Actually i think they used it at all of the tendering ports....I suppose it probably means more when theres a chance that pirates may attack as opposed to curious boats having a sneeky peak on the Barrier Reef :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Kruzer Posted June 23, 2010 #369 Share Posted June 23, 2010 They used this banner when we went to Port Douglas...not many pirates there I'm sure I have even seen it in Sydney. Its to warn small boats to keep away. If anything where to happen it would most probably be at a smaller port. Remember the Rainbow Warrior????

Rare MMDown Under Posted June 23, 2010 #373 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I'm sure I have even seen it in Sydney.Its to warn small boats to keep away. Me too.
