yarramar, the cruise is ok with it, as long as we file proper paperwork with them ahead of time. Skipping ports on a world-cruise is not uncommon, so they have a standard form for it. beatleman, we would fly. We are considering skipping Darwin as well and fly directly to Bali where we could have a week until the ship arrives.

in our world cruise, between the ports of Cairns and Darwin, we have 3 days of cruising only days listed as: - The Ribbon Reef Region (Scenic cruising only) - The Far North Region (Scenic cruising only) - The Torres Strait (Scenic cruising only) We were considering getting off the ship at Cairns and spend extra days there, and rejoin in Darwin. The question is, is the scenic sailing through the reefs worth it to spend those days on the ship? Do you actually see anything, or these are just regular Sea days? Thank you!
