Also, are there ATM machines near where the tender docks? Will need local currency.

Come back & let us know your experience!

Does anyone have experience with stops in New Zealand? We have a few winery tours on our trip. We probably won't buy much as we have the PBP and we are not going to bring it home either.

Thanks for your review, love the positivity!

Thanks so much! This so helpful. Hopefully we’ll be able to arrange a taxi. Someone else on my cruise is reconsidering the day pass because they anre afraid we won’t get picked up! Denise

Hi I just read through this thread & all about your visit to the Hilton Moorea. We are planning to use a day pass there in April when we have a port stop on the Grand Princess. The hotel suggests booking a taxi in advance. We will be arriving via a tender, but not sure where it will dock, help? I'd like to know how far I am from the hotel before I make a commitment. Thanks!

I will be on the Grand Princess arriving in Moorea on April 15. Will be coming in on a tender. Do you know wear we will dock? I am planning a day trip to the Hilton & need to arrange transportation before hand, so any info you can share would be helpful! Thanks

Are all of the restaurants the same size? We usually book aqua class but this time around we're in a SV so MDR for us. We like the smaller room of Blu so we'd like to eat in a small MDR if possible.

But of course, you'll get 2 ridiculous sundaes each day for 52 days 🤣

Thanks for the info! We are booked there for 3 nights in early March.

Thanks again for your great pictures, trip info & wit! We are even more excited about our Edge cruise, thanks to you. Wishing you both a happy & healthy new year filled with even more fantastic adventures! Denise

On the Coral during a Panama canal cruise in 2018 there was a book discussion & they gave out about 20-25 copies of a book & picked a day to meet & discuss the book. It was a great idea & was well attended!

Great, thanks!

We're in an SV for our Edge cruise, do you think we'll get good views of the sounds from there/ Denise

That is very useful info because we are visiting several vineyards during our NZ trip, thanks for posting! Denise

Love the Coral, great cruise!

It's a very short ride to FLL from the port, like 15 minutes early in the morning.

Agree with you & Trak, we would never eat a whole pizza each, at lunch or dinner. Such a dumb idea & we will be on the Grand for 22days & only 2 visits each but able to order 44 wacky sundaes!

Thanks for that! 🤣 We'll be on the Edge in March, in your neck of the woods!

I had orthopedic surgery back in March. The next day my sodium level dropped significantly & my electrolytes were very abnormal & I had to stay another day. The first thing they gave me was 3 small cans of tomato juice (so full of sodium) & 2 bags of potato chips! This was ordered by the renal team as they were finishing up with another patient. Once I finished a bag of chips & 2 cans of juice they gave me the sodium tablets which I took for another 2 weeks. Do you like tomato juice, just saying😀 Denise

We are on the Grand in April, Auckland to San Francisco & Maui was just changed to a 2nd day in Honolulu.

I agree, lots of good wines in Australia! We board 3/13

We were in Aqua on Millie for an Asia cruise. For us blu is the main benefit of Aqua, nice sea views and a more intimate dining experience. Hope you enjoy!

Which ship will be on? We love blu when we sail in aqua for breakfast & dinner!

Yup, know what your talking about. I did my DNA 5 years ago to see how Irish I was, since every time I'm in Ireland I seem to look like someone who lives down the road. I knew my grandparents were born there. So I discovered that the man who I though was my father, was not & my mother had a short relationship with a man who lived around the corner in NYC! I'm glad I found out because my non biological father died of colon cancer at 46 & I had to have a colonoscopy every 3 years because of it. Now I don't! By the way 97% Irish 3%Scotish! Denise
