AuzzieCruiser Posted October 13, 2007 #26 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Only prob with that Jarrod is getting everyones money and commitment, most want $1000 at least for a deposit:eek: Chez xx I must admit, I didn't think of that.:o Maybe a Rubber Dinghy or a Row boat is looking good as a charter!!:p I looked at the Rhythm Boat website, and couldn't see anything listed, though they do have some interesting cruises at reasonable prices.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaseyoz Posted October 13, 2007 #27 Share Posted October 13, 2007 the organising for a group thing would be hard. i think it would have to be where we each book ourselves. I am not worried how luxurious or cheap. there is also a pacific dawn two day cruise on australia day in january Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cheznandy Posted November 13, 2007 Author #33 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Hi Dave, have had a look on the Rhythm boat website to see what they are planning, and they are advertising it but no times or prices, I will phone them and post the info here:) Chez xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cheznandy Posted November 13, 2007 Author #34 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Have just contacted Rhythm boats, and they are planning on doing something.......but nothing definate yet. Looking at the times on Sunday 24th February, it would be good to start at 3pm, see the Sun Princess sail out at 4pm, see the QV leave at 6.30pm and the QE11 change wharfs from Garden Island to OPT at 6.30pm?? and finish the cruise at 7pm. In saying this it might be an idea to look into a charter. If those that have posted their interest have at least two people coming, we already have 20 people, and I know there are others that would come such as Col and Di, Jenny Icemaiden, Geri, Megagirl Jenny:) I think I posted this link before, but is a basic boat and allows us to BYO alcohol and we could all bring a plate of finger food to share?? works out to be about $40 per head for 4 hours if 40 people come. http://www.sydneyharbourescapes.com.au/boat.asp?bID=179 If there are others interested please post here, any other ideas anyone??

Of course I leave on the 24th and miss out.:rolleyes: I already counted you in:D I just called Michael from the Sea Messenger and he has already had an enquiry for the 24th Feb, but will get back to me. It is $2,200 for up to 40 persons, which works out to be $55 each. Good price for 4 hours I think, and we can BYO what ever we want. The website is http://www.seamessenger.com.au/ the photos look good. If no more Ccers want to come, we can then rope in family and friends:p Chez xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiedisneyfan Posted November 14, 2007 #37 Share Posted November 14, 2007 As I said earlier, I plan to be there. I think it will probably be only me but I might be able to get Fiona to come too. I doubt if Keepcruising will be up for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legs11 Posted November 14, 2007 #38 Share Posted November 14, 2007 I would love to come down - I just need to check my roster in the morning at work.

Rare cheznandy Posted November 14, 2007 Author #42 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Yes guys, got you all, went through the thread and counted those that said they were interested, dont think we will have any worries getting numbers, and at the end of the day will just pay a bit more each if we dont reach the max. How do you all feel about a charter? I will need to tell Michael if and when he rings back? I think it might be good as we can do our own itinerary and time? Here is another boat if his doesnt work out http://www.sydneyharbourescapes.com.au/boat.asp?bID=248 Same deal, havent called yet, will wait and see how this one pans out.

EMSOMICH Posted November 18, 2007 #48 Share Posted November 18, 2007 I have just found this thread. There is no shortage of cruise ships where I come from but I was very privileged to be on board the QE2 when she sailed into Sydney Harbour this year. What a great reception we had. I have never seen so many people on the shore or so many boats accompanying us in. A friend from Southampton was on the steps of the Opera House and she thought it was fantastic. Wish I could be there again in 2008. In December, I am sailing on the Queen Victoria's maiden voyage. There are, to quote the local paper: fireworks and fanfares" prepared for her departure. I wonder how it will compare. I am also booked on a boat to bring her in and another to see the QE2 off on her final voyage. That should evoke memories of Sydney as well although, being Winter, I have no doubt there will be fewer small boats. Maureen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiedisneyfan Posted November 18, 2007 #49 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Now that family is back :) (and I am not enjoying freedom :( ) I mentioned to hubby that we would be going to this. His answer was what is this obsession with cruiseliners. I think that he should undergo compulsory CC counselling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
