Nice. BV QM2.:D

Two years ago - 23 nights - Adelaide to Hong Kong. Had the most amazing time. First time berthed at the OPT. Ship played 'Rolling on a River - Proud Mary' as we left Darling Harbour. Just a wonderful memory. Sigh.

My first cruise on her was from Southampton and at sailaway they played "Rule Brittania" ...terribly British and very stirring.:)

[GUT2407]

My first is just under a year away.

 

Really just a taster.

 

Can't wait.

[KirkNC]

Bon voyage!

[MicCanberra]

We went across the Indian Ocean to South Africa on her, just magnificent.

[Pushka]

Sometimes I wonder if it is one of those journeys in life that doing this 'a second time' won't live up to the first experience. I did a four nighter on her before the longer cruise, which didnt really count.

 

Having said that if I was given the chance I would be back on her in a flash.

[Pushka]

Just read my blog again. I wanna go back.

Good advice, Stu will love it.:D

[Kiwi Kruzer]

They arrived in Sydney Cove very early this morning..Thursday 10 March 2016. Those who are on board from the previous sector(s) get to stay on board today and tonight. Changeover day tomorrow.

 

 

 

[GUT2407]

Thanks yet again David.

[Kiwi Kruzer]

Just heard from our friends who are doing AK to HK. As they have the whole day and overnight in Sydney they have taken the train from Central to the Blue Mountains for the day.

He said Cunard are expecting a big day tomorrow with 1,940 boarding in Sydney and Brisbane.

 

 

 

[Pushka]

A lot of the crew change over in Sydney also. Will be a great day.

Cheers David.:D

[Kiwi Kruzer]

They got away on time.

What a great sailout with all the City Lights...

 

 

I bet everyone was up on deck. Hope they sounded the horn..:D

[Kiwi Kruzer]

From looking at Marine Traffic AIS, they are heading to Brisbane and Voyager of the Seas is on the way down from Brisbane . They should pass each other.

That will be a great sight.:):)

[MicCanberra]

Fantastic shot David.:D
