As a cruise destination Port Elizabeth unfortunately stands in line behind Cape Town and Durban. Over the years the tourism industry in the city had pushed hard for the harbour to be more cruise ship friendly to try and attract more ships, but unfortunately the harbour authority isn't playing ball saying that its not part of their core business. The good news is that research has shown that cruise ship visitors to the city exceed their expectations during their stay which shows that we should never give up trying.
Those ships can have Durban where I wasn't overly impressed.

What a lovely boat. Been on the MSC Synfonia. Was great.
ReplyDeleteFabulous photographs!
ReplyDeleteSo short-sighted of the port authority!! Always seems surreal to see a movable object dwarfing quayside buildings :)
