Has anyone got any suggestions on what to do in Auckland .?

I'll be arriving at 10am , leaving at 8pm

I'm not interested in art or museums ...thanks in advance ..

[quote name='MicCanberra']150 people on a ship with over 4000 people on board is around 3.5%[/QUOTE]

I would be pretty pissed off if I was one of those 3.5%
And I'm sure you and others would be too..
abd certainly wouldn't be joking about it

Came thru the news 30 mins ago

I've spoken to a couple of people that are actually on the ship and said they spoke to others that said

We were sick for a day or two but didn't think we had to report it

YET they still ate in food places on the ship and still walked around spreading their germs around

That's how I know !!!!

Selfish inconsiderate people

Diamond Princess docked in Sydney with 158 people with Gastro this morning

A lot of people did not report it - not fair on others

If you get sick REPORT IT....

Yeah thought that was dumb of me to post that question!!!!

Me too.. I wanna get on ASAP

I'm off next week to NZ and I'll be waiting at pt.melb at 10am lol

Thanks everyone for telling me times [emoji3]

Does anyone know of any good tattoo shops near any ports in NZ??

Keen to get one over there

Thanks in advance

Awesome .. Guess I'm first then as I'm on the Baja deck

Golden princess next Thursday

Just wondering if the Boarding time is 12 -3 pm

Can I board anytime

Or

Do I get an allocated time !!

And do I get that in an email ?? Thanks

I'll proberly go to the cafe and buy my card and just relax til my cabins ready

How do you know when it's ready

If you are no where near it ?

I certainly won't be hovering around outside waiting !!

Just wondering what is the first thing you do when you board the ship after checking in etc

Do you go to ur cabin and unload suitcase, go have a look around, go eat, or go searching for the coffee cards or booking a spa???

Just curious..

So confusing

 

I got this from my travel agent yday

Thank you for your email

 

Gratuities are no longer compulsory for sailings out of Australia on Princess Sailings. They do not offer the pre-pay option unfortunately.

 

Previously they did add an automatic amount to your on board account daily, They have now removed this also. Tipping is completely at your discretion.

If we can be of any further assistance please don’t hesitate to con

Got an email from my travel agent and she said "

No !!

Do you have to tip every night ur bed is turned down???

After reading this I checked my cruise personalizer and couldn't see my Pre paid gratitudes, so I went to my TA account and seen it wasn't even paid when I booked and paid for my cruise in full... I'm pretty sure it was mentioned and I assumed it would be in the total , but just seen it wasn't

So now how much do I have to pay per day? I'm going to New Zealand on Feb 11th for 13 nights on the Golden Princess

A little annoyed now, thinking everything was paid and I could relax and spend my $250 OBC, now I'll have to pay extra..

Maybe I should listen properly next time.....

Great ideas there - thanks

If I ring and ask for more pillows then a top sheet 2 hours later

Do I have to give a tip??

Just curious if you do everytime u want something

Oh well

It's up to each individual isn't it !

Everyone has a different answer

I just brought a 6 point hub for my iPhone, portable iPhone chargers and camera, and small movie camera which will plug into my laptop, so I'll only need to use 1 power point .. And looking forward to using the princess messenger app on my phone, to look,up everything from the menus, shows, things to do and calling rooms

Nearly everyone on another site I'm on

All said they got a free upgrade

And I'm talking ALOT lol

They all said

They booked an inside cabin and paid fully months before and once they got on the ship were offered upgrades

Lucky them

Does anyone get a free upgrade when they 1st board

It makes NO DIFFERENCE whether you fly or cruise with ur travel insurance

It's covered

Even hoisted up by helicopter
