And the amount of people at Circular Quay, is the most I've seen in over 2 years. It was a perfect day. I hung onto the tv all morning and watched everything I could (from Melbourne). A perfect day for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have the scoop? Don't believe anything you hear on TV about cruise ships. The reports on Brisbane TV have stated that the first cruise from the new terminal will be in August and one report said it will be in November. BTW, it will be on 2nd June.

Cruisegroover Posted April 18, 2022 #103 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Yesterday on the charter boat was fabulous. Lots cheers, tears and champers flowing. The loudest cheer was when she came around South Head and the first sound of her whistle blowing as she rounded the buoy inside the heads was surreal after waiting so long to hear that again.. Roll on 31 May for the first sailaway party. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Kinkacruiser Posted April 18, 2022 #104 Share Posted April 18, 2022 (edited) Flutters of excitement here seeing the revamped 'Dawn Princess' (now Pacific Explorer') returned to Sydney. We last enjoyed her 10 years ago over to Hawaii & French Polynesia....those were magical days! She certainly has seen a nice makeovers inside from what I've seen on the photos. Being a loyal Princess cruiser, I'd be interested to know if P&O come close to favorite in terms of bang for one's buck?

Aus Traveller Posted April 18, 2022 #105 Share Posted April 18, 2022 That would have been exciting to see the ship come through the Heads. I didn't think I would ever be so interested in a cruiseship arriving in Sydney Harbour. Now I wait to see her arriving in Brisbane, but it will be fairly early in the morning.

No Brisbane season is imminent. She will cruise out of Sydney 31st May till 28th October, then relocate to Adelaide for a few cruises till 12th November, then spend the summer cruising out of Melbourne. By the time Explorer departs Sydney, P&O will have their new arrivals in Australia - Encounter based in Brisbane & Adventure based in Sydney.

At least they get ashore, the city will be cleaned out of potato chips, chocolate, corn chips and all the other goodies they like to buy. I there an Aldi near White Bay, e.g. Balmain?

Aus Traveller Posted April 21, 2022 #122 Share Posted April 21, 2022 8 minutes ago, Hogbay said: I think these dates are for the Pacific Encounter. The question was "how long the Pacific Explorer would be in Sydney and when she would be heading to Brisbane. For interest, the 27th August cruise on the Pacific Encounter has been changed from the 'Island Hopper' to Port Vila and is now a 'Barrier Reef Discovery' cruise to Cairns and Port Douglas.
