Australia changes

The itinerary for Australia has been changed again. This time it’s reportedly due to heavy weather in the Tasman Sea. Burnie, Tasmania, has been canceled, as has Eden. Sydney got moved up two days, Picton, New Zealand, was canceled, and Brisbane was added. There have been a lot of changes to the Australia ports. Here is the original sequence of ports from the initial itinerary:

Broome, Geraldton, Perth/Fremantle, Busselton, Albany, Esperance, Adelaide (overnight), Penneshaw, Portland, Melbourne, Geelong, Burnie, Eden, Sydney (overnight), Picton, Wellington.

Here’s how it has been and how it stands now:

Perth/Fremantle (overnight), Busselton, Albany, Adelaide (overnight), Penneshaw, Portland, Melbourne, Geelong, Sydney (overnight), Brisbane, Wellington.

That’s 16 ports originally and 11 as of now. And lots of timing changes as well, meaning those of us who planned things that were not Oceania excursions had lots of work to do to get things canceled and rebooked. With me in exile here in New Zealand it’s been hard to help out as much as I’d like. Let’s just say that this segment is not going to go down as a highlight.Meer informatie
