I know P&O have been trying to have it running for their arrival. There is no link on P&O's site ATM, but one of the cam sites now has this. It isn't live updating at the moment, but this image is the first update I have seen from that cam in two years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MicCanberra Posted April 17, 2022 #1338 Share Posted April 17, 2022 I will pretend I am sleeping in as she sails in and then walk out onto my balcony as she docks only to realise I am not dressed appropriately. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ondine Posted April 17, 2022 #1340 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Ponant's Le Laperouse is on her way from Noumea to Darwin ETA 24th April. Not a large ship but every little bit helps. Think about 260 passengers. She will home port Darwin. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dual homeporting between Darwin & Broome. The Kimberley itinerary is really tempting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare arxcards Posted April 18, 2022 #1345 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Ding dong, the witch is dead (but not the Sea Witch). The cruise ship ban finally ended at midnight last night. One ship in to Sydney today to make a spectacle of it, but this is a whole lot more. All large cruise ships are now allowed in Australian ports. (subject to guidelines for each state) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havent heard if she will be as cruise director for the Pacific Explorer cruises, though I expect she will be until the other P & O ships arrive in August and October, and then she may move back to her role as Entertainment Director. Kirsty Fraser is going to be the CD for the resumption on Explorer. That would leave Zoltina as ED 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDaze71 Posted April 21, 2022 #1350 Share Posted April 21, 2022 When is the Coral Princess going to leave America and head to Brisbane before its first cruise on the 16th June? As soon as the announcement was made that cruise ban was lifting, the Pacific Explorer went full steam ahead to get down here ASAP. Come on Coral.
