moyaroo Posted October 13, 2011 #1 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Heard yesterday that the Lyttleton port will be pretty much closed through this season (smaller ships only) and only about 50% next year. It sounds like things will be a bit different as a new city center emerges. The Gondola is scheduled to re open Dec. 26th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eh2zed Posted October 13, 2011 #2 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Where will the larger ships dock?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moyaroo Posted October 13, 2011 Author #3 Share Posted October 13, 2011 larger ships are tendering at Akaroa for now. As Lyttleton comes online some will go back there, but the long term plan is for an dedicated cruise pier at Lyttleton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Kruzer Posted October 14, 2011 #4 Share Posted October 14, 2011 The rebuild of Christchurch is taking longer than expected as its still rocking and rolling. All they can do until the earthquakes stop , is clear the rubble.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare erewhon Posted October 14, 2011 #6 Share Posted October 14, 2011 The aftershocks continue, I note that not all the webcams at Lyttelton are working, some not since the big quake in June. Akaroa is to host approximately 80 cruise ship visits this cruise ship season. The rebuild of Christchurch will take years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted October 14, 2011 #7 Share Posted October 14, 2011 We visited Christchurch just a few days before the earthquake and have been there previously as well. Our thoughts continue to go out to all of those affected by this devastating earthquake and all of the aftershocks. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
