Pure luxury, sitting on a deck chair watching the waves sipping a glass of something.<br /><br />Thanks Around the World.<br /><br />Julie - I think one of the main reasons the Sydney to Devenport failed was due to the cost of tickets. At $180 or $300+ for a cabin, the Tas gov was spending millions in subsidies.<br /><br />The ship was fairly full when we went in April, most of the cabins were taken. We did a day sailing and it was difficult to find a seat in the lounge area as many passengers with just a day ticket lay down full length on the couches!<br />Have you been to Hobart before? If not, make sure you see the Salamanca markets (Saturdays only) and stroll around Battery Point and Arthurs Curcus. I should have my Hobart photos up in Picasa in the next few days if you're interested.BlossomFlowerGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00771668346318423898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459609004732621595.post-55911157638226030692009-09-07T07:33:24.432+10:002009-09-07T07:33:24.432+10:00They tried departures from Sydney but struck consu...They tried departures from Sydney but struck consumer reluctance. How many people were on board during your voyage do you reckon? My brother and his wife are in Tassie right now and I go down with two friends at the end of September. This time I am staying in Hobart and seeing places south. In 2004 I visited around Launceston.
