G’day brisbane: royal caribbean sets sail from queensland for first time.

Queensland’s Ultimate Family Holiday Debuts as Quantum of the Seas Sets Sail on 2- to 13-night Summer Adventures to Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific

royal caribbean cruises brisbane

BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA, Nov. 1, 2022 – Australia’s ultimate family holiday has arrived just in time for the summer, and it marks a milestone for cruising in Australia. Today, Royal Caribbean begins its first season in Queensland with the arrival of Quantum of the Seas at the new Brisbane International Cruise Terminal. For the first time and on Queensland’s most innovative ship, holidaymakers and their families can set their sights on a line-up of 2- to 13-night adventures and a lifetime of memories from a new gateway to the Australian coast, New Zealand and the South Pacific. Travellers can book their adventure on  Quantum  on Royal Caribbean’s   website .

On Quantum , holidaymakers of all ages can take their holidays to new heights on deck-defying experiences such as the North Star observation capsule that extends as high as 300 feet above the ocean and the RipCord by iFly skydiving simulator. They can also get their adrenaline pumping with signature experiences like the  FlowRider surf simulator,  rock climbing wall and SeaPlex –  the largest indoor activity complex at sea  – which features  bumper cars , a full-size sports court,  roller-skating rink  and more. Families can enjoy quality time together kicking back, too, like at the  H2O Zone kids   aqua park and one of the many indoor and outdoor pools and whirlpools.

At night, there are more than 20 restaurants, bars and lounges to choose from, including Izumi an Asian-inspired spot with fresh sushi, sashimi and more, and  Jamie’s Italian, for family-style Tuscan classics. The perfect way to top off the night is to catch live music throughout the vibrant ship and the show-stopping entertainment at the Royal Theatre and Two70. Boasting 270-degree ocean views by day and transforming into a multidimensional theatre by night, Two70 is a transformative space where six agile Roboscreens and breathtaking performers on stage, in the air and more merge to create unimaginable visuals.

Gavin Smith, vice president and managing director, Royal Caribbean International, Australia and New Zealand said Quantum’s Brisbane debut was a significant milestone for Royal Caribbean and cruising in Australia. “Today’s arrival of Quantum of the Seas into her new homeport in Brisbane is the beginning of a new benchmark for family holidays from Queensland and throughout Australia. This is a significant day for the industry and Royal Caribbean, and we’d like to thank our loyal guests, suppliers and the wider travel industry in Australia and New Zealand for their unwavering support in the leadup to this moment and for our successful debut in Queensland.”

Through to March 2023, holidaymakers of all ages can have their pick of Quantum ’s 2- to 13-night cruises that visit destinations like Airlie Beach and Cairns, Australia; Auckland and Wellington, New Zealand, as well as the picture-perfect islands of the South Pacific such as Vanuatu and New Caledonia, where guests can embrace island life. At these destinations, guests can choose from a wide range of shore excursions, from snorkelling with turtles to kayaking the crystal-clear waters of the Pacific or setting out to explore at their own pace.

Royal Caribbean Down Under Most recently, in Sydney, Royal Caribbean made its highly anticipated return to Australia for the first time since 2019. Ovation of the Seas arrived on Saturday, Oct. 29, to kick off the summer with holidays to Australia, New Zealand and the islands of the South Pacific. That is just the beginning. Next year, Royal Caribbean’s summer in Australia will be packed with returning favourites, firsts and new itineraries across three award-winning ships, Quantum, Ovation and Radiance of the Seas .

For more details about Quantum and other sailings from Australia, holidaymakers can visit www.RoyalCaribbean.com .

Brisbane, Australia

Located almost halfway between the Gold and Sunshine coast regions, Brisbane is the capital of Queensland and Australia's third-largest city. Visitors can stroll through bamboo groves at an urban botanic garden, gorge on local delicacies amid live music at Eat Street Northshore, learn about the country's military history at the Anzac Square War Memorial and enjoy a cruise down the Brisbane River. Wildlife lovers should make time to get to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, where you can not only cuddle one of the 130 koalas, but hand-feed kangaroos and observe a pair of platypuses. There's no shortage of scenic vantage points in this port, whether it's the observation deck on Mount Coot-tha, an enclosed capsule on the Wheel of Brisbane or along the stairs that lead you up the famous Story Bridge. If you're feeling adventurous, take in the panoramas from atop Kangaroo Point, then rappel down the side of its cliffs.

Norwegian Cruise Line passengers were stranded on a small African island after missing a deadline to re-embark

  • A couple says they were stranded on an island after missing their cruise ship's boarding time.
  • They were on a tour of São Tomé and Príncipe with six others, per US local media. It overran.
  • The stranded group flew to Gambia on Sunday, hoping to catch the ship at another port.

Insider Today

A couple says they were stranded on a small African island after they missed a cruise ship 's boarding deadline, according to local media.

Jay and Jill Campbell, from Garden City, South Carolina, described their ordeal with a Norwegian Cruise Line ship in an interview with WPDE, their local ABC affiliate.

Norwegian confirmed to Business Insider that they were denied boarding, saying it was their responsibility to be on time.

The Campbells said they were frequent cruisers, embarking on Norwegian Dawn on March 20 for their third voyage with the cruise line in a year.

However, an excursion last Wednesday with six other people to São Tomé and Príncipe , an island nation of some 220,000 people off West Africa, took an unfortunate turn.

The couple says the tour overran, and its operator informed the captain that eight passengers were running late.

They were refused entry to the ship upon their return, according to WPDE, even though they could still see the ship from the shore.

The ship was anchored, Jay Campbell said, but the captain refused to let them board despite repeated calls and emails by the passengers to the ship and the cruise line's emergency hotline.

The São Tomé and Príncipe Coast Guard even took the passengers to the ship, but they weren't able to get on and had to turn back, WPDE reported.

In total, WPDE said that nine passengers were not allowed to reenter the ship, including four elderly people and one person who is a paraplegic.

The Campbells told the news outlet that the ninth passenger was late for another reason — an 80-year-old woman who got a concussion on the island and was hospitalized there.

Related stories

Most of the stranded passengers didn't have their medication or working credit cards, WPDE said.

The Campbells, who had a working card, said they covered $5,000 worth of expenses for the group in food, toiletries, and hotel bills.

"We have never had an experience like this before," Jill Campbell told WPDE.

The Norwegian Cruise Line said in a statement provided to BI by email that eight guests on the tour missed the last tender back to the vessel.

The cruise line said the passengers missed the "all aboard time of 3 p.m. local time." It said it was a "very unfortunate situation" but that passengers were responsible for being on time.

It added that the deadline to return was "communicated broadly" over the ship's intercom, in printed communications, and on posts shown at the exits of the ship.

The elderly passenger who was concussed was returned to the US, where she has made a "safe return," a spokesperson for Norwegian Cruise Line said.

According to WPDE, the group flew to Gambia on Sunday, hoping to rejoin the ship at another port.

A spokesperson for the cruise line said that the ship could not safely dock in Gambia due to adverse weather conditions, adding that efforts are being made for the guests to rejoin the ship in Senegal on Tuesday.

Though cruise ships need to stay punctual, ruined-vacation stories like this are a reputational risk and might put people off.

For instance, two MSC Splendida passengers were stranded last summer at an Italian port after arriving too late for departure.

A TikTok video showed the couple waving and begging the crew to wait for them, even though the gangway appeared to have already been removed.

Other passengers may face the stress of becoming stranded in remote locations through no fault of their own. Last September, more than 200 people got stuck in a remote part of Greenland after their cruise ship ran aground.

And last November, passengers were stranded at a Brisbane port after a Royal Caribbean ship was overbooked.
