Rare NorbertsNiece Posted March 15, 2016 Author #976 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I've replied to the email I received back in September saying no food or drink would be provided and attached copies of the menu from the train. I'll let you know if I get a response. Back here..... clearly signed how to get to the Skyrail..... there is no need at all to get on a coach to be driven to the other side of the village as it's walkable. We could have been given our Skyrail tickets at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare NorbertsNiece Posted March 15, 2016 Author #979 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Arrived at the bus stop on time. It's taken people to the Skyrail. I voice that I can walk to the skyrail but am persuaded to wait with the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your support. I'd been sat in the Library, nice and quiet like, until a guest with the most hacking cough sat nearby. I want down a deck..... and the Capt flew by too fast to capture!!

Mr&MrsCookie Posted March 16, 2016 #990 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I've got my fingers crossed for you that you will have a good day in Brisbane tomorrow - just ignore the ugly sights at the grain terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozscot01 Posted March 16, 2016 #991 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Still following along and loving every minute[emoji4]. Please do take care of yourself in Brisbane tomorrow.

Still following along and loving every minute[emoji4]. Please do take care of yourself in Brisbane tomorrow. Not a great forecast but you'll still feel the heat. Thank you for all of the time you have put into this blog. Brisbane..... Fishermans Island Grain Terminal.... Topic of much conversation on the roll call..... there's a bunch of us taking a boat to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary and we're going to meet pre-disembarking Solstice to figure out how to get there.... Celebrity have a shuttle running that starts at 0830 but boarding for the boat ride starts at 0930 to depart at 1000. Literally just took a call from the people I'm possibly sharing a cab with tomorrow to discuss the logistics. The ride to town from the terminal is 45-60 minutes..... The pontoon for the Mirimar Cruises boat is across the bridge from where the shuttle drops off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NorbertsNiece Posted March 16, 2016 Author #993 Share Posted March 16, 2016 We are joining Solstice when she reaches Sydney, can you tell me if Vegemite is readily available in the buffet for breakfast or does hubby need to bring his own? Thanks. I knew there was something I'd forgotten..... Yes, vegemite is available on board in little containers. -------- Spent this morning in the Solarium for an early swim then read and napped. This afternoon there's the 'Elegant Tea' for Elite and above but I've a choir rehearsal at the same time.... and I missed the last one on Cairns / Yorkey's Knob day...... Just spoke to some folk who were on the same Kuranda trip, different bus, as me but their time in Kuranda itself was only an hour (I had an hour and a half) and they had no wait at all for a gondola down....

Fingers crossed that you make it OK. :) Hoping too that taxis are now finding their way to the terminal when a ship is in. There is no other reason for them to be there.

ozscot01 Posted March 16, 2016 #996 Share Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) I just checked google maps and the drive time from Port of Brisbane to the Cultural Centre Pontoon is about 30-35 minutes. If one of your group has mobile service, calling a taxi would be the quickest and perhaps most cost effective for you. Even allowing an extra 10 minutes in rush hour, I'm sure you would beat the shuttle, and also avoid the walk across the bridge[emoji4] There may even be taxis already at the port since the ship is scheduled.

QE2_Fan Posted March 16, 2016 #998 Share Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) Hi Linda Glad to hear/see your feeling better after your day in Cairns I'm sure that bottle of red wine left kindly by the shore excursions office was suitable medication [emoji485][emoji13] There must've been a reason why 'upstairs' suggested you get onto Twitter. I'm a newbie myself and found the following re-tweeted by Celebrity! It was originally tweeted by Terri Irwin, widow of Steve Irwin - the Crocodile Hunter and instigator of the wonderful Australia Zoo wildlife park. http://www.australiazoo.com.au The tweet read " It looks like Derek Hough the plush koala is a huge help to the captain of @CelebrityCruise!"

They've had representatives of Australia Zoo on board and Ben, the CD, spent 5 years there working very closely with Steve Irwin. The Celebrity twitter feed has liked my posts but not shared them on..... I need to try harder..... Edited March 16, 2016 by NorbertsNiece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
