Docked in Brisbane
27°22′57″ S 153°9′42″ E

We arrived in Brisbane around 7:00am & tied up at the industrial docks as there is no pier closer to downtown Brisbane that can handle a ship this size.

Cath & I decided to forgo the bus trip into the city & spend the day on board instead. It was a pretty quiet day.

With a lot of passengers off the ship for the day we enjoyed some of the comfortable lounging spots around the ship. Shortly before lunch I went to a GoPro 7 camera information seminar while Catherine went for a swim. Maybe Santa will read this blog entry….. 😉

We took in an afternoon high tea at 3:00pm in one of the ship’s main dining rooms. That was a fun way to spoil our appetite for dinner! But we managed to squeeze in a nice drink on our balcony & watch some other boats go by.

Not sure where this cruise ship was headed but it passed by very close to us.

A few hours later it was time for our ship to say goodbye to Brisbane. Maybe we will get to see the city another time.

After dinner we were pretty tired from doing next to nothing all day so we took a brief stroll around the upper deck & then turned in early for bed.

Another day at sea tomorrow. We need to be well rested so we can take in some of the relaxing activities on board.

Cheers!
