ekka49 Posted August 2, 2022 #5 Share Posted August 2, 2022 The number of ships in Australian waters are slowly increasing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than 2 months till we see number 4, then the summer surge. They certainly disappeared a lot quicker than they are returning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They certainly disappeared a lot quicker than they are returning. I thought there would be more ships and sooner. Could it be because the South Pacific islands haven't opened up? I thought the Alaskan Season might have been shortened when they stopped the land tours attached to cruises. They keep extending the Alaskan cruising season, although it was all over mid September when we visited on the last ferry of the Season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to Australia Pacific Encounter! Things got busy at work today. I watched her track to the heads, but only got back in time to see her pretty much as the 2nd last pic. It would have been great to see the stream. I caught a bit of the pointy bits here, and on perspective, I can see how Adventure might sneak under the bridge when she arrives. I think whoever controls this cam might have a drinking problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They keep extending the Alaskan cruising season, although it was all over mid September when we visited on the last ferry of the Season. Perhaps a little longer in Alaska, although the same for some and a week or two longer for others - finish Alaska early/mid September, then a month across the Pacific. These cruises were pretty much set on the books like this some time ago, but also not knowing what was even happening for Australia at the time they announced those seasons. Yes, knowing the delays around Pacific ports has slowed down the arrival of Pacific Adventure and Carnival's Brisbane ship. With the adjusted fleet, there will only be 5 ships here year round, which is less than years gone by. Carnival Luminosa is supposed to be ne cruising here in 3 months, but yet to announce an itinerary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boeckli Posted August 2, 2022 #10 Share Posted August 2, 2022 (edited) I went to Taronga Zoo this morning and captured the following @ 10.35. I had no idea she had just arrived (until I looked at the photos on computer and noticed the tug at the stern). Didn't have my Opal card with me, otherwise I might have taken the ferry over to have a closer look. Perfect day here in Sydney today. Here is another look a bit later Edited August 2, 2022 by boeckli 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
