Legend of the Seas - Ship inspection Brisbane

That's the courier mail for you! I think you can only look at one or 2 stories per day before they want money from you. I can't even get back in myself.

The story was from January 2016 and it looked promising.

 

I think it was published here (CC) back then. I am hopeful.:D

The link only goes to the subscription page. But if it says it will go ahead, that would be good.

"Cruise ships more than 300 metres long with about 6000 passengers on board are one step closer to being able to drop anchor in Brisbane, with a new cruise ship terminal expected to be completed by 2019."

Thanks for sharing OP. Re your comment about the train line being extended, unfortunately I think it is very unlikely. The all day demand would not be there to justify the cost.

Someone had better have a word to Tom Tate the Re-elected Mayor of the Gold Coast. He has the Cruise Terminal on The Spit at the top of his to do list in today's Sunday Mail.

I think it is on the ocean side, a pier, rather than in the spit itself. The state govt rejected the spit option. If it gets up it will only be a stop over port, whereas the new Brisbane port will be a full service deep water port that hosts, refuels, restocks etc the mega liners. It will provide a home port for large ships with easy access to the South Pacific and PNG/solomons areas. Each terminal will serve a different purpose.

Dont overlook the fact that the cruise lines want you to spend money on board , rather than ashore, so any Gold Coast calls could be rather brief.
