As I will only have to take a week off work, for 3 ports, but they are getting back at 8:00 Am QLD time. ok that's 7:00am in NSW with our day-light saving... Was going to get 9:30am flight, so back in Newcastle at 9:30am. You don't lose time with Day-light saving on a 1 hour fligh. LOL & go straight to work start at 10:00. Work 20 mins from Newy Airport. Takes 3 hours to get train from home to OPT. In Sydney. So cruises are going to be very viable from there.. Nice plan, it may come to fruition eventually.

One of the best and closest Cruise Terminals to an International Airport in Australia and possibly the World? Now access to and from the city - that’s another discussion 🤔 Actually, it is only close to the airport if you can get access and go across the tarmacs, the terminals are around the other side.

Rare MicCanberra Posted July 14, 2020 #29 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I would like to see a small terminal to be put on the port side of the airport and then shuttles to take you across. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be easily done . Shuttle busses working in with airport facilities would be ideal . A private controlled road around the end of the runway for domestic/International terminals ,rail and bus links to the city and access to long term parking .

They say that they have a magic powder which will remove offensive odours on days that ships are docked. Given what it smells like when the wind is in the wrong direction, they will need a lot of it. 💩 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have worked at some of these treatment plants and your nose actually shuts the smell out, this of course only works when the smell is constant, if it is coming and going, you get to smell it over and over.

It would also mean those on the cruise can connect to the airport travel to/from city e.g. Airtrain, which would improve viability for both i.e. you don't have marginal public transport operations only on cruise days, and improve utilisation on other days for existing links. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are usually going to leave Noumea at 1:30 on a Friday arvo. Have a sea day & get back to Brisbane around 7:30. with a 8:00 dis-embarkment time... Different to Sydney & overseas ports... But will they be able to maintain an 8:00am disembarkation time with the “new measures for Covid 19” (or the “new normal”) being discussed?

They will just make them run down the gangway, a la Ruby Princess. Get rid of the problem. God help us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
