blythe Posted April 20, 2019 #1 Share Posted April 20, 2019 We will be aboard the Zaandam in August with a stop in Sydney from 10am to 6pm. Also in port will be the Carib. Princess. I'm debating just booking a ship's tour (yes, I know, more $$$) due to convenience but am seeking input about reliable indy tours that might be just as safe, considering the large number of cruisers in port that day. Thanks for any help/suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryann ns Posted April 20, 2019 #2 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Have a look at this document which gives information and options for cruise visitors to Sydney: Sydney information There are few tour operators so you likely would be best to rent a car.

gmg613 Posted June 30, 2019 #7 Share Posted June 30, 2019 We will be on the Zandaam at Sydney on August 20. Are we on the same cruise? Often, we share an independent excursion with another couple to avoid the crowds and reduce the cost! Interested in exploring the possibility?

I'll be there August 6th on the Caribbean Princess and still a little stumped in this port. I thought I read somewhere that's it's a little Scottish so will be looking for live music / maybe with lunch or beverages Edited July 13, 2019 by Ombud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
