thied Posted November 9, 2013 #1 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Nice sunny day, and it's 5am and ship is about to dock, so it's on time, So it's that was about the only thing on time on the embarking day About 1000 people standing out side the cruise terminal in the sun with the staff not knowing when they let any one in its just after 10 am , we have Been told soon, why are not allowing people into the terminal? There is more then normal amount of passengers on the ship, are right the ship as 2038 max passengers. Then we were told because it was a long cruise there was more then the norm lugage, But while every one is out in the sun they were having a board meeting in the passengers loundge., After many crusies out of Brisbane we have never seen this.

karmac Posted November 9, 2013 #5 Share Posted November 9, 2013 why would people take more luggage as it was a short cruise of 10 days Was thinking the same thing. 9 nights a long cruise??? It's the shortest we've done apart from the weekend ones:). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thied Posted November 9, 2013 Author #7 Share Posted November 9, 2013 We and a lot of people could and did check our luggage in from 8am but were not allowed into the terminal, may be it was that one extra peace of paper that was the problem and it was, as we from out they had a two hour meeting to work out how to deal with extra peace of paper that turned out to have a problem with it, there was two boxes missing to one question lol most people did not see you could draw the boxes in and answer the question, and just waited till they got to booking and let the terminal staff do it for them. which took time .

fishtaco Posted December 8, 2013 #8 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Can we have some pics Thied, photobucket is quite user friendly to forums! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widebay Posted December 9, 2013 #9 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Yes, I agree some photos of Papua New Guinea ports, places of interest, etc, is more interesting as to how many people could or could not get onto the ship. I have been on quite few cruises, and I have yet to come across a smooth/quick embarkation procedure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
