Voyager Arrives in Sydney 5/11

Hmmm that doesn't sound good :(

Have you been on Radiance or Rhapsody?

How do the bar areas compare to these?

 

No I haven't cruised on those ships so cannot compare. Aussies like to sit around in bars and cafe's so we found the bar areas too small and too hard to get a table. They need to stop the art auctions that take up the larger lounge areas.

Right ok. The Schooner Bar and R Bar too?

Yes not a fan of the art auctions either.

[Hazydavo]

The sports bar and "pub" bars are normally pretty packed.

Did they still have a champagne bar?

[MicCanberra]

They had 300 people trying to play trivia in the schooner bar and 4 people for the art auction in the Star lounge.:(

What was worse, is they repeated it the next day as well.:(:(

Anyone know where they tendered to in Bay of Islands?

[Kiwi Kruzer]

Dawn Princess is there today as well.

They usually tender to Waitangi, but it may be different with 2 ships in the bay.

You could check out the Paihia webcam..

Cool would be great to see a pic of both of them.

Thanks! Checked the cameras, nothing.

Perhaps someone aboard can advise?

Normally Waitangi and then free shuttles to Pahia but as David says, with two ships in the bay, perhaps they may go to Russell instead.

Ok thanks. Just wondering where we might tender with Explorer in Dec.

Is there a nice beach for swimming nearby these places?

Couldn't get into BoI on our first cruise due to bad weather so this will (hopefully) be our first time there.

If you do the walk betwen Waitangi and Paihia...15/20 minutes , you pass a couple of lovely beaches.
