I was there last year (on board QE2) when the QE2 and QM2 were in harbour together. It was a wonderful welcome from Sydney and it sounds as if it will be the same this year. There was a lovely firework display only equalled by Southampton when the QV left on her maiden voyage and we sailed through fireworks. Hope they have sorted out the traffic. While we were in dock, the view from my cabin was the Opera House.

 

Would have been nice to be there again but I shall be in the Caribbean on Balmoral since I could not get a cabin on QE2. For single travellers - Balmoral has 70 single cabins - QV has none. At least I have two more trips booked on the QE2 before she goes.

The website states that there will be no fireworks in Sydney ... only Melbourne. I'm sure that all the passengers on both ships and the assembled spectators (of which I will be one) will be very disappointed. Is this cost cutting by Cunard?

Will be looking forward to the passing of the two Queens in Sydney..

 

Don't think cost cutting I believe departing at 6pm too much daylight for fireworks etc...

 

Will still be a great sight for all to see
