Bob I am really sorry to hear that for you guys.... lets hope it does not go much later....

 

on our fijian jewels cruise as you know we did not leave until 1am and we missed our sailaway.... no music no cheering no horn blowing as it was my first cruise that was disappointing... though at the time i thought doesn't matter as will get to sail back into sydney and get some pictures then.... except in their wisdom they decided that we should arrive in sydney at 4 am in the morning.....

[Kiwi Kruzer]

At least those on board will get to see a great sail in on Sydney Harbour.

Whats the weather forecast for tomorrow?

[rkmw]

i feel sorry for the people who had booked cheap flights that have to pay top $$$ if they miss their flight

Sorry to hear Dawn Princess is running late, is this because she is coming out of Dry Dock?

 

You will have to take lots of photos and give us all the info on the ship!

 

Happy Cruising!! :)

I think also some sydneysiders may have been planning to go straight to work.....

A passenger on board posted this.....

 

according to the captain the weather will be the reason we will not be docking in Sydney until 11.30 tomorrow instead of 6 am

If they dock at 11.30 does that mean they will have to provide lunch for the passengers getting off ?:D:D

For what it's worth, The Dawn Princess was waiting for the 6pm high tide on Saturday to get to the Portside terminal, so she would have left later than the 4pm scheduled departure.

Hope the showers hold off for the sailaway. So long Fijian Jewellers.

Cheers,

Anna

Called princess this morning and they said she isn't expected in now to 12:30 and they said boarding should begin between 3 and 6 and they plan on sailing as soon as embarkation is complete

[Kiwi Kruzer]

She not far away.

Position at 9.15 local time.

[Kiwi Kruzer]

Here she comes....

 

 

[Kiwi Kruzer]

Arriving in Darling Harbour....

Looking out of my hotel window in North Sydney across the harbour and can still see DP at Wharf 8 even though it is now after 10:30. She is going to be sailing quickly in the first couple of days to make up the 6 or so hours she is late.

Hi All

We finally started pulling away from the dock just after 11.00pm and pilot got off around 12.30am. Seas have been rough all night and i think they have been trying to make up time.

No explanation as why we were even later than the late departure but the captain said he would explain.

Dont know if we are going to miss any ports as yet.

On the boat and moving so that is all that matters

thought you had forgotten us LOL....hey we looked at the cruise to take the girls on... hmmm heard that it is also a schoolies cruise :eek:

I know P&O have a policy where passengers under the age of 21 can not cruise without a parent or legal guardian, during the "schoolies" period.

 

RCI has the following age policy (copied from RCI website):

 

No guest under the age of twenty-one (21) will be reserved in a stateroom unless accompanied by an adult twenty-one (21) years of age, or older. This age limit will be waived for minor children sailing with their parents or guardians in adjacent staterooms or under-aged married couples (proof of marriage is required).

 

I assume this will stop most schoolies from being able to book the December Rhapsody cruise unless they book with their parents / guardians, are married, or with someone over 21 who will be held responsible for them.

 

This RCI policy is a year-round policy for all bookings, not just the "Schoolies" period.

Hi ,

 

Booth P&O and RCI have an age policy in place...that people under the age of 21 must be accompanied by an adult.i cruised last oct in school holidays and it was fine.I think cruise lines have really tightened up on schoolies cruises.Anyway us "OLDER FOLK" are asleep before the kids go out.Actually come to think of it Rhapsodys nightclub is really isolated up on deck 12 overlooking the pool.thats where all the young ones hung out and there was no problems at all.

 

Will catch up soon....definately havent forgotten you ...LOL

 

Cheers

i would say so, by the time we embark we'll be having a late lunch

 

bob

 

 

 

They told us we could stay on for lunch as after it docked it would be some time before we could all disembark. The buffet closed up sharp at 11am and when I asked when they would open they said FOR THE NEW PASSENGERS so there was no lunch for us and of course due to the fact that we did not embark in Brisband until 8pm we missed that days cruise as well we did get $14 back each refund for the docking charge at Brisbane that Princess did not have to pay
