Royalty X Posted April 28, 2014 #5 Share Posted April 28, 2014 No, I was asking a question (I've got a ? on the end) if that is why it's been delayed. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vader1111 Posted April 28, 2014 #8 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Change Brisbane to Melbourne and it would be perfect. No chance of that happening. The whole reason for bringing Legend out is because she is the only ship in their fleet capable of getting under the Gateway Bridge and navigating the Brisbane River up to Portside.

Never say never, RCL might want to counteract Golden Princess out of Melbourne. There is only old Princess tubs going out of Brisbane. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vader1111 Posted April 29, 2014 #12 Share Posted April 29, 2014 if it does go to Brisbane and go under the Gateway Bridge and if it comes to Sydney it'll be able to dock at White Bay Could well happen, but very few cruises from Brisbane visit Sydney. Most go to NZ, the islands, or up the Qld coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've done a very good job of coming up with different itineraries, visiting places like PNG and the small Australian coastal towns. This serves as a point of differentiation between them and the bigger lines, avoiding a head-to-head competition that they can't win. I agree that they're over-priced compared to Princess & RCI, both of whom offer a significantly better product. They can't get away with it on the traditional itineraries to the south pacific islands. They can get away with it on the itineraries where they're the sole operator.

They can't get away with it on the traditional itineraries to the south pacific islands. They can get away with it on the itineraries where they're the sole operator. And I'd add they can get away with it when they sail from a different port - the only reason I keep tracking P&O itineraries is because they sail out of Brisbane. That will all go out the window if we get Legend :D:D:D:D Edited May 5, 2014 by madelk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassamanda Posted May 5, 2014 #17 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Anyone keeping count of how many delays this is? :p I think it is only the 2nd delay but the same happened last year. We couldnt book our Alaska cruise on board during the TP until after we arrived in Honolulu which meant we couldnt get our preferred cabin and the Loyalty lounge lost a lot of potential sales.
