Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. We disembarked from the Noordam in Auckland last Friday at the beginning of the historic flooding event. On tonight’s world news it was reported that that area is bracing for another round of storms!
  2. We disembarked a Princes Wharf on Friday 01/27/23 during the torrential rains that would later result in Auckland’s great flood. Needless to say, it was shear pandemonium for passengers trying to get transportation. We had luckily prearranged for airport transportation with a brief city tour. I wanted to share with my fellow cruisers our fabulous experience with Alpha Shuttles. We were a group of 13 friends disembarking with lots of luggage. Alpha Shuttles sent 2 beautiful Mercedes Benz vans to accommodate us. Their amazing drivers, Julie and Bruce, were top notch! They expertly whisked us around the city in the midst of heavy rain with delightful attitudes. They even happily agreed to drop some of the group at a hotel near the airport when they made last minute plans. Alpha Shuttles with drivers Julie and Bruce get our highest marks!
  3. We disembarked from the Noordam in Auckland on 01/27 and managed to get on our flight before extreme flooding closed the airport and caused a state of emergency in the city. During our 18+ hour flights I began feeling unwell. Once home, I tested, was Covid negative and decided I was just getting a cold. My symptoms worsened, so yesterday I retested and was positive! I’m taking Paxlovid and finally feeling better. So far, my husband and our other eleven traveling companions are still feeling well.
  4. Loved this video! Very well done. I will be in Melbourne in January with a multigenerational group of 13. Not brave enough to try it with our bunch.
