Two Queens and Sun Princess 24th February

[AuzzieCruiser]

For anyone that was thinking of going to Mrs Macquaries...forget it. There is Mardi Gras' Harbour Party on Sunday from 3pm-11pm. It is going to be at the Fleet steps, so best to avoid that area if you can...crowd wise!!

We'll be there 'early' on Sunday, keeping an eye out for any familiar faces.:)

What to do afterwards.......hmmm not too sure. May go Mardi Gras Party. Good music and good view of the Queen's as they sail past.:D

Hmm, thought Mardi Gras was next weekend, but till looking it up, I only knew of the parade & after party, which will be next weekend. Sydney will be a popular place, particularly on the Eastern side.

Logging off to give you CCers a weekend of peace (and for an early departure to Sydney in the morning).

 

See you Ghost Walkers tomorrow evening, and the Rhythm boaters on Sunday morning.

 

Travel safe everyone!!

[arxcards]

What the heck - one more

 

Pictures are pretty dull except for one thing.....

 

 

....they are all bound for Sydney, just like me!!

[cloakndagger]

Nice images Kiwi Kruzer :)

 

From Queen Victoria last night/ this morning:

 

 

 

 

 

It looks like it’s a lovely day over there in Sydney for the two cruse ships.

[Kiwi Kruzer]

but what has happened to Sun Princess I thought she was to be in port by now but the cam still has her at sea:eek: :eek:

Hope she doesn't miss the party.

[Kiwi Kruzer]

According to 'Daily Vessel Movements' on Sydney Port Schedule, she is now not expected in until 1.30pm this afternoon....departing at 8pm.

 

Everyone will get a good view of the sail in.

Busy harbour today.

You might have a long wait.

It has all changed again ..

latest is they are boarding at 6.30 and leaving at midnight.....

HOWEVER

that is providing she gets into Sydney.......

she still has not arrived.

 

Whats going on.

She was a day late leaving for this cruise.

[Kiwi Kruzer]

At least being this late they will get a wonderful afternoon sail in

What a battle to get on the cams,and when you did some idiot would take the cam off the ships.

I think they should issue licences to use them.

The air around my office was blue with all the ranting ad raving I was shouting out when someone "without a license" got hold of the camera.

 

But thankfully it appears quite a few cc'ers managed to wrest control back to be able to capture some decent images, and I captured a fair bit of footage.

 

I'll try and mix it all into a vid asap.

 

Thanks to everyone who kept the cameras pointed in the right direction :)

My thanks to everyone for keeping the cam in the right direction too.

At times like that its a wonder that the "owners " dont take charge and just focus on the action. Several times I got the red bar and too many clients message but when I did get on I would just be ready to save the perfect shot that I had been waiting to frame and the next user would zoom the cam away. Oh well . I guess we should at least be thankful that there is a cam there.

Not long sat down from the bus trip home. We had a great time and it was lucky for us that the Sun Princess was late arriving. We watched her sail past us and she tooted at both Queens.

After months of discussion, the day has passed and how wonderful.

 

Great to meet several more CCers, even from Qld & Vic.

Great to renew friendships with several others.

Great to spend a weekend with endless views & photo ops of 3 great ships.

Great weather, all weekend,

Great harbour cruise on Rhythm boat.

Yes, disappointing to not see Sunny at Sunrise, but sensational to have to give way and wait for her in Neutral Bay, then follow her under the bridge to Darling Harbour on Rhythm Boat.

Great room on 31st floor at 4 seasons. With widest lens, I was just able to get bridge, Vicky & Opera House in the same frame, or Vicky, Opera House & Lizzy as she arrived this morning.

Great to get an unexpected final tour of the city, due to poor back seat driving instructions.

Great to see the A-League title go to the Jets too.

 

Thanks to Chez for doing the hard yards in organising the Rhythm Boat for today. I heard more than one comment of how ideal this harbour cruise would be for Christmas 2009.

 

Will post photos soon, but sleep is becoming a much sought priority.

 

Cheers

Geoff

 

PS - Thanks for organising the ghost tour Karen. It was great fun. ....bang.....bang....bang....bang....

I WANT TO SEE PHOTO'S, WA does not have the same coverage as Eastern States, and I missed the news tonight

[Brushtail]

Hi everyone,

 

We had the best time. Here are some photos.

 

 

 

3 Princesses.......Sun Princess, Gail and me. ;)

 

 

 

 

The beautifully sleek Queen Elizabeth 2

 

 

 

 

A very busy Sydney Harbour. And the gorgeous Queen Victoria.

 

 

 

 

Most of the CCers back at the wharf after our cruise. The Sun Princess in the background.

 

It was a great day. Thanks Chez for organising it all. We really enjoyed it.

[aussiedisneyfan]

Beautiful princesses they are too.

[AuzzieCruiser]

What a wonderful day!!

Thanks to Chez for organising such a wonderful afternoon.

It was great to meet even more CC's.

And sorry about yesterday. I seemed a bit quiet. I wasn't feeling the best. Apologies to everyone.:o

Will write a detailed 'review' later tonight.:rolleyes:

[karmac]

It certainly was a wonderful day. Thanks Chez for organising and thanks to all Ccer's who turned up. A shame kaseyoz wasn't able to make it (hope your daughter is much better today, Karon).

 

Here's a link to a few of the pics I took
