Brisbane International Cruise terminal
The new Brisbane International Cruise terminal (BICT) has passed the next hurdle. If all goes to plan it should be operational by the 2020 cruise season. 
I'd love to see the old Pinkemba rail line reinstated and extended to the new terminal. It would be great for overseas passengers on transit visits to jump on a train and visit Brisbane. It would also help move passengers on turnaround days as well.

Pacific Aria April 2017

it's been a while...

Well it's now 5 months since our last cruise on the Sea Princess. The ship has sailed a world cruise and returned for more sailings since then.

I have finally booked another cruise. This time it's the new year's cruise with P&O Australia. I'll post a bit more about this in the next few weeks.

As we are approaching the "wave" season in Australia, I intend to list each week upcoming cruise ships in Brisbane. The goal is to give the ship watcher enthusiast a heads up, especially for ships that only make a one-off visit. So hopefully there will be a post every Sunday morning with the following week's schedule. Of course if you are actually cruising, please go by the instructions given to you by the cruise line, don't rely on my blog post as schedules may change at short notice.
