Thanks for the quick reply. Will give us a lot more time to sight see.

You must do a tour of the harbour at night though.

Just a heads up - we're assuming that you will be in Sydney on December 5th 2011, because December is within the cruising season downunder.

 

But, down here, we write the date as day, month, year - not month, day, year. So, to most of us in Australia and New Zealand, 12-5-11 means the 12th of May 2011.

 

So, if you are making bookings for accommodation, tours, shore trips, etc, be careful to specify the date in a way that can't be misunderstood.

 

Hope this helps!

Thanks so much for pointing that out! I would have never guessed I might reserve the wrong date.
