3 will be at Station Pier and the other will go to Victoria Dock

 

Don't remember which is which.

[getting older slowly]

Pacific Dawn goes Victoria dock...

 

Then we board the Golden Princess on Thursday the 8th, while the Carnival Spirit is in.

Can I request some helpful Melbournite to take some photographs to add to my Cruise Ship Porn folder.

 

Unfortunately I shall be out of town otherwise I would do it myself.

 

Always impressive to watch a cruise ship transit under the Worst Gate Bridge.

 

Thankee in advance  😎

[Docker123]

Just got a travel agent email listing 4 Cup cruises for 2019 and 2, so far, for 2020.

 

plan ahead I say.

 

[MicCanberra]

A real animal day today, as it's raining Cats and Dogs to go along with the Horses.

Hopefully it will fine up for the actual race.

[Kiwi Kruzer]

Great shot of all 3 ships..😊

[Kiwi Kruzer]

Heres a grab from Pacific Eden giving a look at the weather and catching a couple of the buses leaving the pier, probably with punters,  , off to the track at Flemington.... at least its not far to go.

[Kiwi Kruzer]

Good luck to everyone with their picks for the big race.

Trust you scored a winning horse in the sweeps.

 Hope the horses and jockeys can swim, the conditions are horrendous in Melbourne! My street is flooded, so not intending to go out. 

 

Good luck to all having a bet or in a sweep! Backed a horse in the Derby named after our suburb's football team of past years. Came second so just as well it was an each way bet.
