One day before Sydney...last minute activities.
Yesterday the ship docked in Brisbane, really a pretty poor cruise ship wharf with makeshift infrastructure alongside a working grain facility. Dusty, a long distance from the city of Brisbane, a $20 return and nearly one hour each way shuttle bus into the city. Not for us as we have been into Brisbane before from a cruise ship and also stayed in Brisbane on previous occasions, so a day on the ship suited us. 600 passengers disembarked and 600 embarked for the last 2 day's sailing to Sydney. A lot of younger passengers, some families but a large contingent of travel agents enjoying what this newest and largest Princess ship to visit Australia. It is interesting the change of the atmosphere from sedate to more upbeat and vibrant. Someone asked me if there was a disco on board!
We are about to start packing our suitcases, arrange our shipboard account, fill out our nominations of crew members who we think went out of their way. Well, it is hard to reduce the numbers of crew who have been extra helpful. They are always smiling, a lot remember our names, choice of food and alcohol. Wonderful service by these hard working crew members who work for months away from their families and homes. Princess does a great service in training and choosing their workers.
