Sydney Passenger Record?

[arxcards]

Four ships in Sydney today, which is a rarity. P&O had 5 ships in November 2015, but they were smaller ships, so today might be a record number of passengers in port.

 

Viking Orion arrived yesterday, and is still berthed at White Bay

Pacific Adventure is currently maneuvering into White Bay

Celebrity Eclipse is in the harbour and preparing to dock at OPT

Quantum of the Seas is off Sydney Heads and will soon be anchoring at Athol Buoy

Nah...

Just because there are rare occasions that there are more than one of perhaps two ships in port, we do not need to build new facilities.

I don't buy a camper van,  just because I go camping once a year.

I know people that own boats that fish once a year, or tow a caravan once per year for 2 weeks away.

 

I agree though. Sydney is coping fine today. Three ships tied-up at wharves. The ship at anchor is a day visitor, and while it might be a bit of a bummer for those tendering, docking at Port Botany will not give them a better experience for their day in Sydney.
