Cool.

 

It always amazes me tho ... And this goes for other cities as well.... That they cannot build decent looking and large enough cruise terminals that do credit to the city.

 

Ffs....it's hardly rocket science nor would it be overly expensive. Essential a huge hall ( with maybe some architectural merit), a few toilets, a few offices and space for a cafe and viewing platform. If it cost more than $10-15 mio I would be surprised.

 

Where they often come up with figures like $50mio plus I don't know.

Thanks for posting the photos.

Thank you for posting the photos. Is this where all ships dock? We will be on QM2 in March next year and were wondering if she can fit at that dock/pier? Is this Jellicoe Wharf, which is where Cunard says they will dock?

 

We did not like the ships excursions so will be trying it on our own at this point. We are looking at the HOP ON HOP OFF....looks like a pick up point is close to the pier. Any suggestions as to what to see?

 

Thanks,

Hi Barbara, Jellicoe Wharf is further along, the next one out of shot above. It is a large container wharf.

Buses will be put on to shuttle you from the gangway to Queens Wharf and Shed 10.The HOHO bus leaves from outside Queens Wharf, and the ferry to Devonport is right nextdoor.

Thanks David...that is very helpful! Do you think HOHO is a good plan or do you have any other ideas?

Its a great way to get around and see the sights. Do the loop , then the ferry ride to Devonport ...makes for a great day.

Celebrity Millenium had an overnight in Auckland.

They've had the weekend in the City of Sails and sailed out at 5pm Sunday afternoon.
