Explorer and Voyager in Sydney 28/11

[Hazydavo]

This will be amazing, can't wait to see it!!

Although, given the timing I don't think they'll pass each other in the harbour.

Anyone know? I hope I'm wrong because that would be great to see!! And ofcourse a great marketing opportunity for RCI down under.

Voyager set to leave the OPT at 18:00 and Explorer to arrive at 19:30.

We will be onboard Voyager and have friends on Exporer:D

 

If you do a google search there is plenty of mention about the two ships meeting up, although as a booked passenger we have not heard of any celebrations. In any case there will definateley be no dining in the dining room that night for us:p

 

"Explorer of the Seas arrives in Sydney for the very first time on 28th November 2015 for an historic Sydney harbour rendezvous with Voyager of the Seas. Spectators will be able to witness the unforgettable sight of the largest cruise ship capacity on Sydney harbour in one day, with over 10,000 guests and crew onboard.

Guess I'll miss it.

I'll be getting off Voyager in the morning, and on the way home.:(

[tillydog]

We'll be there to watch!! So exciting!!

[keenmolly]

[bearone]

A few big days together there, the gathering of the P&O fleet just a few days prior then the two RCI ships.

It would be good to see but I think they will both be at the outer part of the harbour where it is wider (if not outside the heads) when they pass each other.:D

Well we'll see in 37 days or so.

[The_Big_M]

If we're voting, I reckon it'll be nearer the Opera House. :D

I hope you're right! It would be quite a spectical.

I agree. I think that's the whole point of the exercise. :)

[tillydog]

If I remember rightly, didnt Celebrity Millennium and Voyager of the Seas pass each other on VY's first arrival somewhere around Fort Dennison? Then VY came into Circular Quay accompanied by water cannons.

[Hazydavo]

Only 28 days to go!!

[Hazydavo]

17 days :D

Just had a look at the latest Sydney Ports schedule. Voyager is now scheduled to depart at 5.30pm as opposed to the original 6.00pm. Explorer is scheduled to arrive at 5.30pm.

 

Definitely looks like they will be passing in front of Opera House.

I dont think they will get that close.:eek:

Perhaps one will stand off at Athol Buoy while the other sails out.

[MicCanberra]

Passing on either side of Fort Denison perhaps.

I hope your right:) I am still seeing 6pm for Voyager and 7.30pm for Explorer on Sydney Ports.

 

5.30pm might get us to dinner!!

 

My Cruises is still saying the old times as well.

I find the "Daily Vessel Movements" section more accurate than the "Cruise Schedule".

Thanks for that, hope it stays that way, we are cruising with the parents for the first time, and have a booking for dinner at 6pm.

We want to see Explorer and sailaway and they will want dinner at 6pm:p

We are also on the Voyager for this cruise. To add to the sail away times, we were notified the other day that the ship will be leaving earlier then the originally planned 6pm.

 

I also have free internet for the entire cruise so I will be posting some pictures from the crossing whether it be within the harbour or outside the heads.

Cruise ship fan, we haven't had any notification, but I did book this one through a TA and not direct, maybe why.

Go the free internet:p

Luckily this is Aussie port cruise, so we will use our Optus in ports. None free for us on RCCL.

 

I don't think that claim will stand after the 25th when all 5 P&O's are in harbour!

 

I reckon you are right!!

Although I perhaps they were referring to the largest ships, as in size, but P&O will definately have the most!

It will be a busy week next week for Sydney harbour.

[Hazydavo]

Yes, and no need to say which one will be better really. They will both be great events!!! :D

Can't wait to see pics :)
