If they produced Muriel's Wedding I'm sure it would be just as popular. The musical version of the movie debuted in Australia 4-5 years ago.

sydney international cruise terminal car pick
grozzy1 replied to freanesi's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
Someone more knowledgeable might correct me, but I don't think pick up is possible in the immediate vicinity of the OPT. Suggestion 1 is to get them to park a couple of hours in one of the Rocks carports and return to the car together. Suggestion 2 is depending on where you are returning to meet up at a suburban rail station. One issue is it may be hard to predict when you will leave the terminal. And the weekend markets may make it harder to navigate. -
I'd like to think I'm reasonably good at maths, but this is doing my head in. My Spirit cruise departs Sydney 15th January. I'd like to know when Sydney time the 21 day online check in opens. Roughly in my head I'm getting sometime in the evening Christmas Day. Is this correct? FWIW Sydney is GMT+10, then add or subtract for DST Cheers

Taieri gorge railway excursion 2023

I've just booked this excursion for NCL Spirit in January. What happens if there's 2 ships in Port? Do they use 2 trains or share one? -
Navigation to White Bay Terminal
grozzy1 replied to grozzy1's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
I actually won a night at the casino, which I'm using pre-cruise. The hotel is 6 stars with 6 star prices. The casino is finally open but only for "VIPs" -
I'm hoping someone who has recently departed from White Bay can confirm how to get there. In mid January I'm embarking on an NCL cruise. Most likely I'll be taking an Uber from my hotel at Barangaroo. From what I hear, relying on Google maps will get you lost because you need to go via James Craig Rd. Is this correct? Looks like I may have to do the navigating.

My unprofessional view in this is there's 3 factors in play here. The gangway appears to be close to 10m in length. That's a long span to be unsupported. Which leads to the engineering and construction needs to be spot on Which leads to the safe load weight needs to be known and properly supervised. IMO the people that need to answer questions are whoever built the gangway and the people monitoring the number of passengers on it.
-
I'm not an engineer, but that gangway looks awfully long if it's only supported at the ends. It would only take a weak joint and a bit of overloading for failure to occur

The government ferries run from circular quay roughly every 30 minutes usually from wharf 4. There are other private operators like Captain Cook and Manly fast ferries who visit Taronga but they're less regular and not direct.
-
Assuming you arriving at Circular Quay, I'd just take a regular ferry to the zoo. Just tap on and off with your credit card. Re entry to the zoo, I'm not sure if pre purchasing tickets is still necessary but have a look on the website. Another tip, if you have time after the zoo, walk from Taronga wharf to Bradley's Head to get your million dollar tourist photos

I think the same. The number of horror stories I hear, there must be some huge $ savings before I relinquish control of my flights.

Currency needed in Australia & New Zealand
grozzy1 replied to etowntraveler's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
I consider it courtesy to use cash for small purchases at small businesses. Some businesses may have a minimum amount for card purchases or a credit card surcharge. This is because banks tend to screw small businesses with transaction fees. $50 in small notes would be more than enough to last you until you get to an ATM. Any left over cash can be donated to charity or a young relative. -
AFAIK, it's the other way around. Splash academy was removed and new cabins put in during refurbishment

RAT testing before boarding
grozzy1 replied to resordanis's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
I wonder if it's as effective to give everyone just a temperature check, then use that to determine who needs an additional RAT/PCR test? -
I got an upgrade email roughly 110 days out. Though the suites appear to be sold out (or unbookable). I did put in what I would consider "modest" bids but I would have to be very lucky.
