I recently had an irresistable offer on a 13 night New Zealand cruise, round trip from Sydney, aboard Sea Princess. As I have always found with Princess cruises, the food, and bar and dining room service were excellent. The ship seemed in very good condition, spotlessly clean and well maintained.
12th. November - Departure Sydney
|
Traffic at Melbourne Airport prior to my flight to Sydney. |
|
One of my favourite parts of any cruise - the moment the ship lifts off the wharf at the very start. |
|
The old wharves at Pyrmont, now converted to apartments. |
|
Passing under Sydney harbour bridge. |
|
A Sydney pilot launch accompanying us to the heads, passing Circular Quay. |
|
Two RAN ships at Garden Island naval base. |
|
Symbols of Sydney harbour - a Manly ferry, Fort Dennison and the harbour bridge. |
|
The forward mooring deck. At sea, this area is used as a workspace for refurbishing teak railings, deck chairs etc. |
|
Passing Manly. |
|
South Head. |
|
Outside the heads, the pilot lauch waiting for the pilot to disembark. |
Beautiful photos, Tim. the shot of the ship passing under Sydney Harbour Bridge is quite spectacular. My fave is the high contrast almost B&W photo of the Bridge, ferry and Fort Denison.
