Crystal Symphony in Sydney, Australia - 15 & 16 December 2023

[Stickman1990]

For me the relaunch of Crystal just got real with the arrival of Crystal Symphony in Sydney harbour - she just went under the harbour bridge before docking overnight at White Bay cruise terminal 

 

It’s a lovely summer day (28c/83f) in Sydney so great for all those onboard visiting our wonderful city - welcome 

Great to see Crystal back in Sydney

 

 

 

 

 

 

And around to White Bay

Can White Bay handle 1 ship or 2?  I hope Symphony will be able to stay docked both days.

White Bay can handle two berths and today Symphony is docked at the secondary berth which is to the south of the main one which adjoins the terminal - it’s a very short walk between the two berths 

 

Today is not a full changeover day with only some passengers joining mid voyage for 4 day cruise to Auckland

My last Crystal Cruise was on Symphony which ended in Sydney in April 2019.  What a great memory @Stickman1990!  I loved Sydney!

And it can sail under the bridge (unlike the Behemoth of the Seas and its kin).

Beautiful pics. Very much looking forward to our first visit/cruise on Symphony around Australia/New Zealand in Jan.

Hello, at what time will Symphony go out of the port of Sydney on December 16?  I would love to watch her going out using the Sydney port webcam website.  Thank you.

She is due to sail at 2pm Sydney time on Saturday - so will pass by the Bridge webcam shortly after that

Terry, I just went to the webcam and it looks like a gorgeous day!  I've set my alarm and I'll be watching Symphony sail out.  7pm California time!

Nancy it’s another beautiful day here today - high is 95f so a little warm but great that guests and crew could get out and enjoy Sydney in such lovely weather 

[Stickman1990]

She’s underway
