  1. We got on the royal Princess very quickly but the loverly staff at the overseas passenger terminal realised my son was autistic and I was trace alone, so they supported me right through the whole process. 🥰
  2. There seems to be a certain clientele whom like to travel with their pets. Maybe cruise lines can look at some of their older or even newer ships and see if this can legitimately accommodated. doesn’t Cunard have dog and cat kennels onboard? Some rooms could be dog/cat accomodating and the cruise line could charge a surcharge for the pet to be onboard. Rules would need to be followed also note that this would not be suitable on the Australian/NZ pacific island cruises or to other locations with strong bio security laws.
  3. We are there on the 5th January with royal princess and princess has tours listed.
  4. We booked with Rite Price car hire. They are located at the airport and run a shuttle bus between the port and their location. Alternative is to find a car hire company at the airport and taxi between the two
  5. Decided to just check the date and time we needed for Hobbiton again and it was actually available! So I quickly booked it. Planning on going to Rotorua or the morning and then allowing plenty of time to get to Hobbiton after lunch. we regularly go to New Zealand and just love it. Every part is just so different and beautiful.
  6. Hobbiton has filled the earlier times, so we are just going to go to Rotorua and ensure we are back at the ship by 6pm.
  7. Next port is Auckland but desperately don’t want to be filmed running for the cruise ship in Tauranga with the people on board laughing and waving. I’d much rather be the one laughing
  8. Rite Price Rentals does car rental from the port of Tauranga
  9. We will be in Tauranga on 5/1/24 on the Royal Princess, I just hired a car from the port for the day. The ship docks at 9am and departure is 8:30pm do you believe we will have time to do the Hobbiton movie set tour at 3:40pm for 2 hours? yes I’m one of those annoying people whom likes to be off the boat early and back 2 hours prior to sailing
  10. Can you catch the shuttle bus and get to the cable car? We are on the royal over Christmas and all previous cruises to nz have been cancelled.
  11. Prices for beverage packages as per the personaliser: premier beverage package $195.63 aud plus beverage package $149.59 aud zero alcohol drink package $69.75 aud classic soda package $35.65 aud cost of wifi per day $27 AUD cost to update to Princess plus per day per person $65 aud
  12. So internet is $27 aud per day. the prices for drinks are they in AUD and do they include gratitudes? also is there still a basic soda package? The unlimited non alcohol package is about $35 per day. how much is a classic coke at a bar? trying to do the math about the drink packages but on a trip to nz they certainly add up and the only one in front is the house
  13. I really hate that long flight with an ASD/ADHD child but I’ve spoken to a doctor and yep I’m drugging him. If that doesn’t work I’ll drug myself 😭
