Home to Brisbane!
Arrival was at the Multi-purpose Grain Terminal, located at the mouth of the Brisbane River on Fishermans Island. This is directly opposite the new cruise terminal (currenly under construction).

Last day at sea for this cruise, travelling from Sydney to Brisbane, Australia.
Thanks to everyone (friends and crew) onboard the Sea Princess for another wonderful holiday. On reflection, some highlights included:
|
|
We cruised a total of 21,647 km at an average speed of 33 km/h. Some onboard highlights:
- The company of old and new friends
- Our daily ukulele jams, concluding with a Tribute to the Beatles concert in the Atrium
- Playing chess most sea days – some very intense
- Being looked after by the wonderful staff and crew
- The production shows
- The excellent food. We brought our own wine – much better quality and considerably cheaper, even after $15 per bottle corkage.

We arrived to a beautiful sunny day in Sydney and once again arranged to meet our good friends Lynnie and Glenn.
We enjoyed a ferry ride to Manly followed by a few drinks and lunch at the sailing club. Thanks guys for another fun day.

Two days "Crossing the Ditch" (aka Tasman Sea) from the Bay of Islands, New Zealand to Sydney, Australia. External video: Princess Cruises explains 'Across the Ditch!'.

Tonight was the crew parade and balloon drop in the atrium. Always lovely to see the crew being recognised for all their hard work.
Wednesday - 02 Oct. 2019
Just before Auckland the Entertainment Director (Stu) asked if we would like to do a ukulele concert in the atrium. We only had three sea days to practice our Tribute to The Beatles. A few players had only starting playing on this cruise, so it was a challenge for them.
The concert was great and we were recognised for our efforts with a couple of gifts ... the ship's plaque (which is rarely given to passengers) and a Stanley bear. Thanks Stu and Captain Ruggero ... we were thrilled to receive these special gifts.
The full concert (27 minutes):
