Return to Sydney

After two days of sail, we finally arrived back into Sydney Harbor. Awaiting our return and welcoming us back were the spectacular sites of the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbor Bridge!!! Is it really over? Has these two weeks really gone by? Are we really back? The questions were endless - how could it be over so fast, so soon. The cliche never fails in that "time goes by fast when you're having fun!" How true it is!!!


We greeted Sydney with open arms, but not before of the well orchestrated departure procedures. We made our way to the Shall We Dounce Lounge. There we waited, with our immediate carry-ons, for our number to be called. As we departed the ship we stopped by Customs and picked up our bags inside the luggage terminal and proceeded outside to hail a taxi cab. It was only a 20 minute taxi ride back to the Hilton Sydney where we would stay for two days, one night before returning to the real world of Seoul, South Korea. It was a very orderly process and as everything else onboard, it was all taken care of for us and the least amount of stress possible.


We will surely miss the grand ship of Rhapsody of the Seas!!!

Sydney Harbor Bridge
Sydney Overseas Passenger Terminal

A ready-and-waiting room, much like ours, for the next set of passengers that will sail onboard Rhapsody of the Seas two days from now.

Shall We Dance Lounge - passengers eagerly waiting for their number to be called out before departing Rhapsody of the Seas.

It's time, grab your stuff and let's go - how hard it was to leave after two weeks!

Alright, which ones are ours???? Hmmmm!!!! Actually, it wasn't as bad as it looks, but it just gives a glimpse/snap shot of the many passengers that were onboard Rhapsody of the Seas.

Trying hailing a taxi cab in this mess; we still managed but hailed a cab at a different taxi stand where there were fewer passengers waiting.
