Where is the Overseas Passenger Terminal?
Corner of Argyle and George streets, Circular Quay West, The Rocks NSW 2000 (Royal Caribbean, Celebrity and Holland America give 130 Argyle Street, which works better in map apps). It is on the west side of Circular Quay in The Rocks, between the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House, and the Port Authority of NSW calls it the state's original international cruise terminal. Circular Quay station is a 5-minute walk away, ferries and the L2 and L3 light rail stop at the same quay, and cars can stop for up to two minutes on the lower roadway off George Street at Argyle Street. There is no parking at the terminal on cruise days. Our terminal guide covers how to get there, and the Port Authority's page has its own details.

How do you know which terminal a ship uses?
From the cruise schedule the Port Authority of NSW publishes, which gives every call a berth. It is the only source we use for this. It ran to Fri, Jun 22, 2029 when we last read it, so 5 sailings of the 414 we list do not show one, because they leave after that date or from a berth with no terminal page. The Port Authority says its schedule can change, and your cruise documents have the final word.
