Cruisey And Boozy

I love Queenstown, and it would be a long tour from a cruise ship, so yep. There’s so much amazing countryside and so many great things to do that any land tour of NZ is worthwhile. Of course, I’m a Kiwi, so I may be a tad biased 😊

Completely agree, because Queenstown 😊

I was talking about the December cruise that Cunard change, like in the OP. We’re at cross purposes lol

But you said “will be in the middle of NZ winter…” 🙃

If you’re talking about the cruise in December, that’s the middle of summer in NZ, not winter

My understanding is that they only inspect thirty days before arrival. Given that the ships are sailing fairly constantly, I think that would make compliance difficult if the ship failed inspection. I’m not an expert, of course, but a friend was on a cruise in December that had to anchor off-shore to clean the hull. Weather made it too difficult, so the ship abandoned NZ and went to Tasmania instead

It’s true. We had the email today. If we stay on the cruise, we get $150USD on-board credit as a thank-you
