Australian $, if booked in Australia.

We used the Stockperks app last year for our April cruise, and it went through without a problem. Previously when we had to email the info, we could only do within 3 months of the cruise.

We did the 2023 world cruise on the Coral Princess. Because we didnt have any luggage restrictions (Syd to Syd), we took 2 large, 4 medium and 4 carryon size bags. 1 medium bag had our medicines and toiletries and 1 medium bag had our winter clothes. (which stayed under the bed till we reached Scotland) Note, did not take enough cold & flu tablets or cough medicine. No covid, but we both ended up with the Coral cough 🙂 Ended up restocking in Europe and the US. Laundry was taking 4-5 days for Elite, and the weather in Europe was really hot and humid, so glad I took extra summer clothes I also wanted to have choice for such a long cruise, but could of taken less. Our next trip is 9 weeks, but includes 3 flights, so will have to make do with 2 large bags and 2- 3 carryon. The world cruise is amazing -enjoy every moment 🙂 Tanya

No vaccinations or testing required in Australia

Yes, this is what hubby did. Got an email this morning from Stockperks to say OBC had been applied. Logged into the personaliser and it is there. Quite easy and cruise is not until April 2024 Cheers Tanya

If you book a NCL cruise from Australia (even if travelling overseas), the tips are included in the price (both daily gratuities and on the drinks package) That has been our experience for the past 3 NCL cruises. Tanya

We stay there often in the studio or 1 bedroom apartments (they have a kitchen or kitchenette) Lots of cafes nearby too and a short walk to the cruise terminal

Hi I am from Sydney, and there is no way I would risk a 10.25am International flight. The recommendation in OZ is to be at the airport 2 hours for domestic and 3 hours for International flights, which means you would need to be there at 7.25am. It also depends when you are travelling. If a weekday , it will be peak hour, so busier on the trains or road. If school holidays the airport will be very busy. Travelling via airports pre and post covid is very different. Cheers Tanya

daily Grants are included on RCL if cruising in OZ, but it is USD on board . Also 18% grats on drinks, unless you have the beverage package Tanya

We like NCL, they have great overseas itineraries. When booking through Australia all the tips for drinks, dining and daily service charge are included in the price on board will be USD, but last year we were able to buy OBC before we left at a good rate. Any we didn’t use they gave us back in USD on the last night Tanya

Hi Sarah, any chance you could ask if there will be a Circle Pacific cruise from Sydney planned for 2025 Thanks Tanya

We were in Noumea in January, and all the tours are now sold outside the visitor centre. We did the yellow HOHO which cost $15.00 AUD and swam at Lemon beach, and then had lunch at a cafe. It is expensive for food in Noumea, but they did take credit cards

We did 55 day overseas in November/December . Flight to Athens via Dubai, 4 days in Athens, 38 day cruise from Athens to Capetown, then 11 day Gate 1 tour through South Africa and Victoria Falls, before our flight home to Sydney from Johannesburg. We did wear masks in Athens before the cruise (no testing required to get on the ship), where we couldn't social distance Not one mention of Covid, RATS, Masks or ISO the whole trip. We are fully jabbed (4) and had mild Covid back in July. The rest of the world has moved on, and its time Australia did too. Tanya

Download the Citibank app onto your phone. You can then set your pin for your card after activating your card

The only problem is if your card is in credit, and it gets scammed, the bank is not liable for any credit balance I would definitely have a separate card card to get cash from ATMS. We use the Citibank debit account Tanya
