Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said nine cruise ships have travelled through Queensland waters of the past few days, but they only had crew on board.
Ms Palaszczuk says some ships had been allowed to temporarily dock in Brisbane to refuel, but they’d soon be leaving.
“We had nine off the coast and five have no left, there are four remaining, but they are just refuelling and then they’ll be on their way as well,” she said.
The ships need to leave Queensland waters by midnight tomorrow.
