Port of Melbourne Webcams

[BuzzBuzzen]

I just had a look at the Port of Melbourne webcams and was interested to see Pacific Jewel and Pacific Pearl backed up to each other , full of eager punters I am sure. I thought some may be interested to have a look and control the cameras for 2 minutes at a time , enjoy , cheers, Buzz.

I think Carnival Spirit is on her way to join the party as well....must be running late. :D

Cool, thanks for posting the web cam shots.:D

P&O Pearl & Jewl arrived today (Monday) & depart Wednesday; Carnival Spirit arrives tomorrow & departs Thursday; and Celebrity Solstice arrives & departs Thursday.

 

On the Melbourne news tonight they said that the 3 ships in town for the cup will deliver 6000 passengers and use 130 buses to move them to the Cup.

 

I'm not sure that the numbers are accurate - a bit of hyperbole I think, because late last week there were plenty of of cabins still available on all of them.

A bit of rounding on the pax numbers, I suppose. Either way it is a boon for the Race industry and the bookmakers.:D

Thanks for posting, going to be a big day for a lot of people. :rolleyes:

Does it get much attention in NZ or is it only when you have a winning horse?

Its only the TAB's biggest day of the year.I had to wait about 10 minutes in line to place a bet today.

So it may be the race that stops 2 nations then.:rolleyes:

I have noticed that there are only 2 aussie horses running, the rest are internationals mainly NZ or Ireland. Hope people gamble responsibly, I wouldn't want anyone to miss a cruise due to a bad bet.:D

But imagine if you hit the $25 mil on that pick the 1st 10 in order. How many cruises could you have then.

The 6,000 is probably based on capacity.

Yes, the track certainly had a lot of people there, shame about the horse that died but the Germans are winning everything this year.:D

Were their 24 horses running? If so the odds of picking the first 10 in order are 7,117,005,772,800 to 1. Gamble responsibly indeed - Tom Waterhouse was the only winner from that bet!

Only 22 horses as 2 were scratched well before the race. Yes, the big winners are the bookies.:D

Thank you for all your screen shots. It would be nice to be able to have so many ships at once next to each other in Sydney. Cheers to all , Buzz.

Yeah, agreed. Although next year (25 November 2015) all 5 P&O ships will be in the harbour and will have some sort of parade/ celebration, welcoming the Pacific Aria and the Pacific Eden to the fleet. We will be aboard the Aria for it's inaugural sailing.:D
