[quote name='Oahucruiser']Have been reading and feeling your excitement lately. Enjoy every minute![/QUOTE]

Were you aboard the WC in 2012? I think maybe?
Yep, there's nothing like the feeling you have on embarkation day, is there.

Enjoy it I will. :p Edited March 9, 2014 by Pushka

Yes, we were on the 2012 WC and a couple before that. Keep thinking we might do another but it's getting the visas for India and China that we dread.

Currently in Webb Dock Melbourne. Some Crew and passengers not excited QM2 has been bumped from Prime Location in Melbourne by Celebrity Solstice this morning. [IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/03/12/pyvypabe.jpg[/IMG]

After a cloudy early morning the day has turned out to be perfect, it's sunny and predicted to be in the low 20's.

 

Hope everyone has a great day.

Greetings to my table mates from Melbourne, with whom I shared a hosted table during world cruise 2011. Hope they are fine! :)

Thanks. 30 m only ... hard to believe, but maybe Melbourne citizens/passengers could enlighten us with more information?

[Pushka]

It's a busy time in Melbourne and can't cope with 2 mega ships. Not to worry, this time at least there were very regular free shuttles into the CBD. Really in the end it didn't matter.

Departing now. QM2 won the horn battle with X by a mile. :p[IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/03/12/ge4ajehe.jpg[/IMG]

[Cats2010]

Thanks for the photo of this monster :eek:. I think that the best ship deserves that best place in harbour :cool: God knows what was the reason for this decision ... bribery and corruption? LOL :D

Just arrived into Sydney. [IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/03/14/ruzaby8y.jpg[/IMG]

Portside staterooms are a tad noisy at 6am on port days.

Sydney's famous Doyle's restaurant is just below and the Bridge, to the right. I'm climbing it later today. Edited March 13, 2014 by Pushka

Thankyou Salacia. Berthed in Brisbane Port today. It really is a working container port as her aft is way too big to fit down the River.
Sunny and warm.

I'm sure your enjoying the QM2. Rotterdam was similar
In that the Qm2 was too big to sail all the way
Into the port. We can see the S/S Rotterdam
Berthed way down , but is much smaller.
Whats your next port?

[Salacia]

To my Jewish friends on board, I hope you enjoyed a Happy Purim.

Happy St Patrick's Day to my family and friends.

Cheers, -S.

Cairns! She left Brisbane and is now navigating the Great Barrier Reef, and all this without me!
