dmwnc1959 Posted February 29, 2012 #1 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Sorry if this is 'old news'... The Queen Mary 2 will berth at Sydney’s Overseas Passenger Terminal for the first time ever on March 7. More HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazzaw Posted February 29, 2012 #2 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Holy Dooley!!!!! That is going to be something to see!!!! It will just massively dominate that area of Circular Quay, Opera House and Harbour Bridge. EDIT - however I note that there is no mention of this in the Sydney Port Schedule http://www.sydneyports.com.au/port_operations/cruise_schedule Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieVoyager Posted February 29, 2012 #3 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Fantastic! I'm boarding that day. I wonder when Cunard will tell me about the change in arrangements - no boarding at Darling Harbour and catching a catamaran I'm guessing...

dmwnc1959 Posted March 1, 2012 Author #5 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I can't wait to see the pictures! I imagine the crowds will be enormous. What an event this is going to be especially for the sail away. I wonder if they are going to back her into the berth? Any webcam links that can be recommended?

bazzaw Posted March 1, 2012 #6 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Any webcam links that can be recommended? Don't know about "recommended" - but these are available General Harbour view http://www.sydney-webcam.com/index.php?nav=cam1 From YHA rooftop - near Circular Quay wharf -- http://www.yha.com.au/hostels/nsw/sydney-surrounds/sydney-harbour/ ( this one is controllable - to view click on "live webcam" twice.

Pushka Posted March 1, 2012 #7 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Yay yay yay! I will be on her when she arrives :D I will have my white hanky ready to wave. Although I was kinda looking forward to the catamaran across the harbour..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder when Cunard will tell me about the change in arrangements - no boarding at Darling Harbour and catching a catamaran I'm guessing... I just had an "emergency notification" from Cunard by email that says: Queen Mary 2 will now berth at the Overseas Passenger Terminal in Circular Quay in Sydney on 7 and 8 March, rather than Barangaroo Wharf 5 as previously advised. Due to limited terminal facilities at the Overseas Passenger Terminal and to ensure a smooth start to your voyage, we will be operating a staggered check-in on 7 March. We kindly request that you arrive at or shortly after your scheduled check-in time as published in your documentation. Guests who arrive earlier than their nominated time will be able to drop their luggage at the wharf from 8.00am and will be asked to return later at their designated check-in time. Please note there is no seating area at the terminal. I think I'll arrive early anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray66 Posted March 8, 2012 #11 Share Posted March 8, 2012 There's a good overhead view of the top part of the QM2 as it pans around the harbour area on this webcam. It may take a while to load. http://www.earthtv.com/en/camera-destination/sydney-australia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
