I think there were five last year. Love the goldfinch! Leigh I think last year were 4. There were 3 at Station Pier and one went under the bridge to Victoria Dock. Next year’s schedule also shows 3, with one of those going to Victoria Dock. I was wondering whether there is a bigger ship in the mix, so more passengers and not enough space at Station Pier.

Could also be the cup cruises are not as appealing, there were quite a few last minute specials last year (when they had the 5 ships there) and this year there were not any noticeable for only the 3 ships. Perhaps that may change next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what it does, like which area it provides service to.:D I know that Captain Cook offers ferry service to ships berthed at White Bay. Somewhere on their website is a schedule for their cruise ship service. I think they only go to WB when there's a ship there. I still haven't figured out exactly where it goes at White Bay, and how much of a walk it is from where a cruise ship docks. I'll probably take it next month while there, since I'm too cheap to take a cab, and public transportation is a little complicated near WB.

roothy123 Posted November 26, 2019 #1110 Share Posted November 26, 2019 (edited) Going on a cruise, finally, to Australia and New Zealand, and would love to see webcams from the places I'll be. If anyone is willing to give me URLs, I'd love to see them for: Australia: Exmouth (doubt there's one, but....) Geraldton Fremantle (think I found one at the port) Albany Adelaide Melbourne (found a couple already) Burnie, Tasmania Phillip Island Sydney (already found the one showing bridge, opera, cruise berth) Eden New Zealand: Milford Sound Dunedin or Port Chalmers (DO have PC port,cam,s plus Albatross Center cam) Akaroa (found one already, but there used to be one that showed a view of inside the bay or whatever it is, not just the entrance - not sure where it went) Wellington (think I have one, but would love more, especially if there's one at the port) Napier Gisborne Tauranga or Rotorua (found a couple) Thanks Edited November 26, 2019 by roothy123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docker123 Posted November 28, 2019 #1112 Share Posted November 28, 2019 iPhone cam. I went to Fremantle with my niece yesterday. Found the Sun Princess behind this big fence. Must have been trying to keep in the noro virus they had on the news (conflating that with a story about a medical disembarkation in Singapore). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MicCanberra Posted December 8, 2019 #1119 Share Posted December 8, 2019 We were told it was still manned when we were there last, wiki says there are at least 4 people there all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically yes, although the 'rule' was that the ship had to drop anchor to satisfy the 'departing Australia' requirement for duty free?? Maybe I've missed it but one time I didn't even notice if we stopped or not?? On one of our cruises we were alongside the island for maybe 10-15 mins and there was a conversation between the pilot and the station manager that was broadcast thru the ship's speakers - very interesting.

megsie Posted December 8, 2019 #1123 Share Posted December 8, 2019 When we were there last, the talk was broadcast on the ship and they launched a weather balloon from the island. I remember there were a lot of birds around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The anchor touches the water and is pulled back up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
