Help Hobart on a Saturday??

All i want is a cruise that is actually in Port at Hobart on Saturday.

I want to go to the Salamanca Markets. Have trawled through ship itinerary’s and cant find one, which seems very weird.

At this rate may end up having to fly there.

Anyone know if such a cruise exists?

Would be good to be there on a Saturday. Since you’ve checked them all perhaps the port doesn’t allow it. Our October cruise has a 2 day stop in Hobart but alas, also no Saturday.

TasPorts schedule shows dates and ships. Quite a few Saturdays.

When we were cruising we had 2 cruises that called on a Saturday . The markets are great and they more than welcome the extra business from the cruise ships which dock so handy.

cruise timetables may be of help.

This one is quite good as a guide for port schedules ...but you have to double check..not always accurate and itineraries can change, as we all know.:rolleyes:

We’ve had a few, Mrs Gut is a bit of a market freak, always gets disappointed when we miss them, worst cruise ever (spending wise) Rocks Markets the day we left, markets in Melbourne then Hobart n the Saturday, I think the market spending cost more than the cruise.

No such thing as a cheap cruise for you then.

Plenty as long as the markets are all closed.

Thanks for all the input. Especially the list McCanberra.

I think couple of the cruises are part of a big cruise and out of my price bracket and a couple that dont dock till probably too late but still sorting through them thanks

Sounds like my ideal cruise.. You should ‘Market’ that idea to the cruise companies [emoji2]

We were lucky to be in Hobart, early 2017, on Ovation.

It was Salamanca Market day (Saturday) as well as the Australian Wooden Boat Festival. We overnighted as well and it was a magnificent time in Hobart.

I would fly there again for the festival weekend, next in Feb 2019.

I am sure K would find a way to spend.

No worries, the Dark MOFO cruise looks good, there for 3 days.

We have flown down several times to spend time exploring the Huon valley area, Bruny Island, etc.

I would 100% book that cruise but the way i read it the ship leaves at 8a on the Saturday. Hope im wrong and its 8pm[emoji848]

Sadly it seems you are correct. Perhaps you need to fly down and spend a weekend there.

Or drive down and spend a few weeks touring. First holiday we had after 18 years marriage was a drinking tour of Tasmania.

I am sure K would find a way to spend.

She sure would, I laugh whenever people ask what to do with excess OBC, though last year she did leave a dollar something OBC hind, still brings it up from time to time that she should have found a way to use it

LOL, the casino has the machine with the quarters cascading.

We reckon we should have found a 5c pokie. And that’s from non gamblers

I am not really a gambler either otherwise I would know what that machine is called.

Ended up dropping my Celebrity Solstice cruise ro New Zealand in December and booking the Majestic Princess December cruise to New Zealand which stops at Melbourne and the clincher..Saturday In Hobart,

Pretty much same price, I gain two extra nights on The Majestic and mini suite over a Balcony...but i do lose our alcohol package.. I guess my liver may thank me

The stops in Hobart and Melbourne made it more appealing and always interesting trying a new ship, I hope The Majestic doesn’t disappoint
