We are going on the March 9 HAL Sydney to Auckland cruise and were considering the overnight bus trip from Milford Sound to Dunedin. Has anyone been on that trip. We've read about the Celebrity excursion which seems similar but nothing on the HAL option. It's pretty expensive and wondering if it's a must do or if it's better to see the fjords from the ship. Also wondering if you would arrive in Port Chalmers in time to do an excursion after you meet the ship there.

We've booked the same itinerary, Southampton to Reykjavik, on the Prima for this June for the very same reasons: itinerary and previous NCL great entertainment. But I'm worried after reading reviews that the theater is so small getting your choice of show and time is difficult, the food choices repetitive at the main dining rooms, and scheduling specialty dinner around shows could be problematic. Maybe everything will be fixed by this summer, but if not it'll be back to Celebrity Cruises for us ... they don't charge for things like darts!!

We went on Celebrity Constellation cruise from Venice (Ravenna) to Barcelona in May 2022. This was our 6th cruise, 4th on Celebrity. This was the third time we'd tried to take this trip thanks to Covid cancellations and ship movement cancellation. The complete confusion on what the pricing programs were/are is ridiculous! First All Included was the only thing available, then Simply Sail was only available if booked less than 90 days before departure, then somehow a cruise booked 7 months in advance was changed to Simply Sail and we were dumbfouded to find our drinks and wifi were no longer included once we got on board. Celebrity has one of the most frustrating websites of any of the lines we've sailed on. Get a good travel agent to help you sort through this and consider other lines before you book!
