Modern cruise ships (as you should know) can have up to 2000 passengers and 800 crew, all of which need to get off the peninsula around 7.30-9 am in the morning.\u003C/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003EPutting the cruise ship terminal at White Bay is possible, but it's just not the best option.  Barangaroo is closer to the city, has better transport connections, allows walking to the CBD,supermarkets and hotels, and would be vastly preferred by cruise ship companies and passengers.  Expecting the crew and passengers to slog up the hill to the Darling Street Woolies is delusional, although it may get the Woolies upgraded to this century.\u003C/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003EThe decision to remove the cruise ship terminal from the original (and award winning) Barangaroo plan has never been justified, with the assumption that it was a purely commmercial decision.  \u003C/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003EIt's not about whether it's a working harbour, it's what is the right location.  White Bay is fine for the current ships which currently drop in now and then, Barangaroo is fine for cruise ships which currently drop in now or then - why change?\n \u003C/p\u003E\u0026nbsp;"}
