Rare mr walker Posted February 16, 2023 #3 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Great photo. We'll be there on 15th March on Ovation. Have now received update from RC that "port pilot times have been adjusted in Dunedin" delaying our arrival from 7am to 12:30pm!! We still depart 7pm so a much reduced time there. Luckily, we did our big tour there with Russ at Tourworks on our previous visit! We will likely just spend the afternoon exploring Port Chalmers as on previous visits we have gone straight into Dunedin or further afield & not really seen the port. We'll give you a wave Stu. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why you can't get in on time, perhaps another ship coming in first or needing to leave port first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of unhappy people who booked tours for the day. We'll just take it as it comes 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MicCanberra Posted February 18, 2023 #10 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Why not, they know approximately how long it takes now, with long range forecast they may know it will be tight so they are allowing extra time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
