BRISBANE International Cruise Terminal has received its first call – but sadly, it was not a cruise ship.
The Australian Navy’s Choules docked in Brisbane just before midday on Fri, and left yesterday.
The first ship into the $177 million cruise terminal should have been P&O Cruises Australia’s Pacific Dawn, which was originally scheduled to call on 03 Oct 2020.
Instead of arriving to rapturous fanfare, Choules docked to only a small handful of onlookers, including a few family members and a number of slightly bemused security guards.
Speaking of the reception, those there to collect their family members were quizzed on the new terminal.
“Yes, it’s quite okay,” one patron told The Brisbane Times.
“I didn’t even know it was here.”
