Rare Cbtours Posted April 17, 2022 #2 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Would have loved to but from Melbourne I have to wait for it to be shown on news. Do you know what time it’s arriving? I’ve been flicking to YouTube in case someone putting live on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was announced that there will be three tugs giving a water cannon welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogbay Posted April 17, 2022 #4 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Going outside to wave 👋 in a hour or so, sun drizzle, sea mist will try take a photo . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cheznandy Posted April 17, 2022 #5 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Anyone know what time it may be passing Forster area? We are caravaning on the beach near Pacific Palms and will go down the beach to catch a glimpse. Not much Internet here so can't search... Geoff??? Most of my coastal cruises have hugged the coast on their way home to Sydney Town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subaru94 Posted April 17, 2022 #7 Share Posted April 17, 2022 We are too far away in Adelaide, would have loved to be there, look forward to seeing photos on the news or people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted April 17, 2022 #8 Share Posted April 17, 2022 We won't be going down to see her arrival but might go for a drive over the Cahill Expressway after lunch to see her docked at the OPT. I suspect she'll pass Forster after dark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got sold.😪 Sea Princess is now owned by a Chinese company and is called Charming. I'm not sure where Sun Princess went to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazzaw Posted April 17, 2022 #11 Share Posted April 17, 2022 During our early days of cruising, I got kind of used to having the Buffet down the back overlooking the stern of the ship - I wasn't too keen on the Sea and Sun Princess with the buffet up front of the ship - no way to eat your food outside.

This screen shot was just taken 1 min ago (at posted time), so you can see where Pacific Explorer is at the moment and where you are: So I would think she might go past yours in about 4 or so hours.

alibabacruisers Posted April 17, 2022 #15 Share Posted April 17, 2022 (edited) I will look at it on the sydney webcam tomorrow providing it is docked ay at the OPT. Otherwise, may have to get up early to see it sail past ......a cruise ship will be a sight for sore eyes, for sure!

Chiliburn Posted April 17, 2022 #18 Share Posted April 17, 2022 I was going to see it come in, sounds like a bit a party but things didn’t work out that way. I will be going to see it leave on Tuesday morning when it moves to white bay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cheznandy Posted April 17, 2022 #19 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Hogbay let me know if you see it from Coffs. Not sure where you are there but I get good views from the Lighthouse at Port Mac.

I don't expect her to be lit up to cruise spec, but should be able to see something. Alas, I think it will be well after 10pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare arxcards Posted April 17, 2022 #24 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Looks like it will be just me then. 😂 I will get photos. Whether I resize and post tomorrow night will be another thing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jandex Posted April 17, 2022 #25 Share Posted April 17, 2022 I am planning on heading down to South Head to watch her come through the Heads at 9.30am. Hopefully she’s on time and doesn’t come in early! Will try to get a nice picture! Very exciting!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
