- Our incredibly full day in Sydney! Got dropped off at the Man o War Steps, went to the Pylon Lookout and Museum, Did a tour at the Sydney Opera House, did a quick visit to Manly Beach and El Camino Cantina, went to a Cabaret at the Opera House (Gatsby and the Green Light) and then went to XOPP in Chinatown to meet up with Matti! #uwc #royalcaribbean
I enjoyed your video very much. You did a lot in a short time and it was pleasing that you enjoyed our city. Cheers.
Thanks! It's very helpful that the city is so walkable and full of life
The roof of the Opera House was inspired by the sails on the boats of the Harbour. Tha Architect was an very much into sailing. The thought that sails signified the Sydney vibe.
Cool tidbit! Thanks!
Incorrect, the roof of the opera house was inspired by segments of a sphere. There is an exhibition on at the Museum of Sydney celebrating 50 years of the Opera House showing how Utzon came up with the idea.
@kathyreid4735 no incorrect.the roof was originally inspired by sails not an orange being cut up. The problem was that Utson's design was far too expensive to build. The were far more slanted then what you see to now. During Utson's lunch break he cut the skin off an orange and discovered that he could build this shape easily and cost efficient.
Going next year! Loved your optimism and happy attitude. Was the Pylon Lookout scary? One of our party is afraid of heights.
I personally didn't find the Pylon Lookout scary but I'm not afraid of heights. The staircases leading up are enclosed and up at the top, there's that step you can look on over the glass. Based on what I know of folks who are afraid of heights, I wouldn't recommend they go outside onto the outer edge Lookout platform, but they can certainly enjoy the museum and the inner room on the top floor (before you go outside and look around the city from the Lookout platform) without even noticing that they are outside!
Enjoy your time next year!! Thanks for watching :)
Great video! Thank you for visiting our beautiful city of Sydney! Hope you return to see more of Sydney!
I hope to very soon!

Why didn't your ship dock at the Terminal at the Rock , in the city.
There is only one cruise ship dock at Circular Quay and the Virgin ship was docked there til later in the day so we couldn't dock there until they left 😁. If there's another dock, idk, Royal Caribbean didn't tell me 😅
@Nachanael yes I should have waited a little longer, I saw the ship at the dock my bad.
@@markdrennan5723 it's all good! Totally understand (I do the same and I do not make short vlogs haha)!
