Thank you for watching, it was a beautiful Morning for a ship to arrive.

It was on the 8th of December 2024.

Yes I saw this on the news, I wouldn't like to be on a ship in those huge seas. Take care and stay safe.

Thank you, it was a great sight seeing the ships arriving together on that beautiful Morning. The Europa 2 looks very similar to The Europa that you captured on video in Greenwich a few months ago.

@@Kirribilli_ships Thanks. Yes - I was thinking the same thing.👍

Thank you. It would be great to be able to play piano like that.

Thank you. The passengers would have have a great view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The Celebrity Edge is to tall to fit under the Harbour Bridge.

Interesting to see if you look carefully at the side of the ship as it turns at 1:24 you can see the Opera House reflected in the glass walls of Celebrity Edge.

@@Kirribilli_ships Ah yes. I didn't notice that before but I see that now you mention it. 👍

That's great you sailed on the Celebrity Edge, she looks like a very nice ship. Thank you for watching.

I saw on the news here the storms that hit the United Kingdom with Wales being badly affected. Hope things are getting better.

Thank you, it was a very nice Spring Morning and Queen Elizabeth looked beautiful arriving. I am happy you loved your visit to Sydney, hope you return one day.

Thank you. She will be sailing out of Australian ports till February. I like the Cunard Colour scheme with their red and black funnel, she is a very nice ship.

Thank you. She was in Sydney for a week and would sail around the Harbour in the afternoon. It would be a nice way to travel around the World.

Thank you, glad you liked the video. I hope you have a great cruise In October 2025, where are you travelling to? Sailing from Sydney Harbour is an amazing experience.

@@Kirribilli_ships 😀

@@JodieMiners Thanks for the information. Hope you enjoyed your voyage.

@Kirribilli_ships yes it was fabulous, and we had some medical issues also and had to turn around just past the Victorian border and go north to meet a rescue helicopter that winched a rescue crew onto the ship, then winched the sick crew member away to hospital treatment. We were just north of Eden and the helicopter had come from Wollongong, and there was a maritime safety plane circling also. Amazing to see it all happening, and the crew member got to hospital and had surgery. We know nothing more about what happened to them.

@@JodieMiners That must have been amazing to watch. I admire the Helicopter Pilots and crew that the do these rescue flights. Hope the crew member is doing okay. It shows that Cruise Ships and their Officers and crew handle medical emergencys very well.

@@johnnierainey5761I didn't have any notice, she just appeared in front of Kirribilli at 7 pm which was very unusual. She was sailing on her way to Melbourne before turning back to Sydney. I hope everything works out okay for the passenger.

Thank you. Yes I hope everything worked out okay for the passenger. It must have been a stressful few hours. I think the captain and crew involved did an amazing job bringing the ship back to Sydney

@@Kirribilli_ships 👍

Thank you. I like the way the sound of the horn echo's off the nearby buildings.

That's great you liked sailing on her. She is a a very nice looking ship.

Thanks, it's always great looking at Ships and Ferries on Sydney Harbour.

Than you. The water salute looked amazing.There was so much activity on the Harbour that day. The ships and boats were sounding their horns in front of Admiralty House as a tribute to the Royal Visit.

Thank you, it was a beautiful sight.

Thank you for your suggestion.I normally give a detailed written description of the video but maybe I could try doing an occasional voice over on some short video's

Perfect, Paul. But only as you see fit. Many thanks.

Thank you. Watching a Tall Ship passing the Opera House looked amazing. Hope you are both well.

Thank you. I can imagine It would be difficult to navigate a large ship with so many small craft around. On Saturday afternoons there are also lots of yacht races happening around Sydney Harbour.

@@Kirribilli_ships Yes - I can imagine that would be difficult. When large cruise ships depart from the port of Southampton, they are designated as "clear channel vessels" and all the other traffic has to stay out of the main shipping channel so as not to be in their way.

I was standing watching it going out was amazed how nothing was interuped by the Cruise linner going out. All the other boats just went in and out as normal.

@@johnmccarthy2407 It was a busy afternoon on the Harbour and as you say the Ferries move around this large ship with no problem. It is impressive to watch how well these large passenger ships and tugs can manoeuvre.

Thanks, the Carnival Luminosa started sailing out of Brisbane last cruise season and it seemed to do well. This was the first time she has sailed on a cruise out of Sydney and back to Sydney.

Thank you, they looked amazing arriving together at lunchtime.

@@kayb1175 Thank you.

You're welcome, I'm one of the admins for a couple of groups they loved it!

Thank you. She was a classic looking ship.

Thanks, they looked impressive arriving together. The Opera House was a great place to see this happen

@@Kirribilli_ships It was fantastic (until my new wireless mic fell into the harbour 🤦‍♂) I kept watching them arrive though ha ha

Sorry to hear about your wireless mic.

That's good you were able to make your flight. I hope you had a great Pacific cruise.

Loved it!!!! First time, wont be the last.​@Kirribilli_ships

@@sharonbosworth7632 Glad you liked it. Taking a cruise is a great way to travel.

Thank you.

Thank you. It was an unusual sight seeing two cruise ships arriving together at lunchtime. Both ships didn't depart till 10 pm that evening which affected the passengers departing on the next cruise.

Yes, the harbour is nearly always busy, however when the cruise ships arrive or depart...it can be manic!

Agreed, both for locals and Pom tourists alike. Looking forward to your arrival in Manly.
