Anyone know why? Announced last night that poor weather conditions in PD weren’t favourable yo tender in yo port, so they decided to remain in cairns overnight.

Brisbane47 Posted June 30 #330 Share Posted June 30 Interesting. Thanks for that. We wondered if it was the weather. Disappointing for people on the cruise and businesses too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone already planning a tour, the operators would come down to Cairns to pick them up. The ship tours for Port Douglas still operate from Cairns as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sj_cavy Posted June 30 #332 Share Posted June 30 (edited) Our tour was cancelled and the money refunded immediately to our onboard accounts. An alternative was offered if we wanted to book. We decided we would use the extra day and go to the aquarium (so did a lot of other people). There was about a 10 minute wait to get in, it didn’t feel long as the line kept moving. There was lots to see and learn. 2 of us booked to do the turtle hospital tour for an extra $18. It was absolutely wonderful, the staff’s passion shone bright and it was amazing to be so close to such a beautiful creature.

Good to hear feedback on the Cairns Aquarium, when it's our turn to cruise (22nd - this month, yippee) we plan to walk to the Aquarium and then go for a dip in the lagoon, if it's not too cold 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info on the aquarium - we are there on 12 Aug cruise so will look at that as an option. We are booked on the reef trip out of PD so hopefully the weather will be Ok for that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSWP Posted Thursday at 05:33 AM #338 Share Posted Thursday at 05:33 AM Great pics Geoff, having been on her twice, Alaska and Panama Canal, some years ago, she is a fine vessel. Best in the Princess fleet in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have stood in those spots before, excited watching the arriving ships. Horseshoe Beach is always an incredible spot, as it is in this video. Sadly I was at work this time. I hope the dolphins haven't disappeared. You will often see them jumping up alongside the bulbous bow of the cruise ships, but I can't spot them here. Hopefully they haven't forgotten, and they just aren't used to visiting ships in winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
