Welcome to my travel blog. We are occasional cruisers, usually with the aim of travelling at least once each year.

 Previously I have published each cruise with a separate blog. I have now decided to combine them all in a single location. This blogs primary purpose is to keep a summary of our cruises for ourselves.
The Brisbane ship tab is a list of upcoming ships into Brisbane for the ship watcher enthusiast. The photo tab are cruise ship photos. World cruise blog tab has links to follow, making it easier if you access the blog by a mobile device and can't see my reading list on the right.

Brisbane cruise ships 26th February - 4th March 2018

There are 6 visits from cruise ships this week. Three each for Portside and Fisherman Island. 

 It's a shame the overseas ships didn't plan their itineraries so that there wasn't a double up in Brisbane. I'm sure Arcadia and Black Watch could have both used Portside if they arrived a day earlier or later.

Monday 26th February 2018, Pacific Aria
Friday 2nd March 2018, Pacific Aria
Saturday 3rd March 2018, Pacific Dawn

Scheduled for Multi-use terminal at Fisherman Island

Monday 26th February 2018, Arcadia
Friday 2nd March 2018, Black Watch
