Pacific Pearl in Mooloolaba today - 18th July 2015

[Kiwi Kruzer]

The Pearl is scheduled to dock in Mooloolaba twice more this year, on August 21 and October 6, and the Pacific Eden will visit during its 12-day cruise on December 18.

 

All three cruises are already sold out.

 

Shows the demand is there for "winter" cruising in Queensland.

Is 'winter' code for cyclone season:eek:

If there was a cyclone season, winter would have the least chance of getting a cyclone. However in the sunshine coast there are no Cyclones.

So what was meant by winter when referring to October and December cruises up the Qld coast.

What about Cyclones Fran and Marcia, I seem to remember they came close to Brisbane.

There are also cruises scheduled for next year as well as a call into Moreton Island if you do a search on the P&O site or one of the Aus cruising sights.:)

I agree that it shows that there is demand for cruising in Queensland, outside the main cyclone season.

That would explain it.

Even in cyclone season they tend to just rearrange the cruises to suit and go where the weather isn't as bad.

Just got back from the Pacific Pearl Mooloolaba trip last weekend. The weather on the day was beautiful. The ship used its four tenders and later in the day was using a charter boat "Whale One". It seemed to take ages to get everyone ashore unfortunately.

 

The boats came ashore at The Wharf Tavern with a very short walk across the road to the Mooloolaba Underwater World. Another short walk and you're at the beach, not that it would be very nice for swimming that time of year but obviously some still do.

 

The cruise home was a little bumpy. The lack of sick bags in the staircases showed that some were finding it rough going ... but overall ... it was a great short trip.

Thanks for the brief review.

The sick bag supply is always a good indicator as to how rough it is.;)
