Rare MicCanberra Posted August 31, 2020 #828 Share Posted August 31, 2020 We have always docked as well, large ships included, just at the commercial wharf (logging port) though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an interesting cruise on the Golden Princess Melbourne to Auckland then, stopped at Tauranga, Gisborne Wellington, then two huge storms fronts on the east and west coasts of the south island... so south island cancelled, but stopped a Picton as a lst minute thing thus tender.... then a slow trip back to Melbourne after head as far north as Sydney to miss the storm Cheers Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The log wharf has enabled the bigger ships to dock at Picton . It has been a recent addition to the port and is accessed via a cutting through the hill . Before that medium sized ships could dock at the ferry port and the big ones at anchor.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qbay46 Posted August 31, 2020 #842 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Once off the ship never heard fron cruise line, but that was fine health department rang to check on us for symptoms, we where notified that a passenger that left the ship in Dunedin had tested positive.

Bowm54 Posted August 31, 2020 #849 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I will be presumptuous and assume that Pago Pago is correct. It used to be a fuel stop during the 10day trip between Auckland and Pearl harbour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
