Princess are starting to change that now!, as you will soon have to pay for thing that use to be free!

gdlamberth Does Oceania say where in Wellington, these stop are? As it could be "Museum of New Zealand Te Papa" or the "Wellington i site Visitor Information Centre" or somewhere else! If you don't get any more information from any one else, I will try and get in touch with the Visitor Information Centre and see if I can get some more info for you :). If worse comes to it, you could say to your friends that you could meet them at "Museum of New Zealand Te Papa"

Good Morning, Tonight (Australia / New Zealand time) the Coral Princess is due to do her Panama Canal :D If you want to watch her do her transit you can watch them here: https://multimedia.panama-canal.com/ I will hopefully be posting webcam captures thought the transit!, so keep an eye on this thread tonight! She is due to start her transit at about 9:00pm AUST (Sydney time). It will be noon/lunch time here in the UK when she does her transit.

As far as I remember, since I started stalking the World Cruises, they have all docked at the Manhattan docks.

Coral Princess departing New York, USA - 17th Aug 2023:

Welcome to the group Moriac Mick! 🙂 We did a relocation cruise from LA to Auckland on the Majestic Princess in October 2022, it was alright for the first few days of the cruise, and then it went to crap. We got another Princess Cruise book for Christmas so I will be interested to see if its any better or still not very good.

I cannot see anything changing till next year (2024), but the last I read / head they where not going to review the covid protocols till December 2023. You can come to New Zealand and cruise from Auckland unvaccinated.
