We will be disembarking in Auckland, NZ on March 2, 2019 after a 12 day 50th anniversary Princess Cruise from Sydney. Our flight home does not leave until 11:00 pm.

Does anyone know of a post-cruise 6-8 hour tour which might be available that would drop us at the airport other than the very expensive Princess option?

Thanks.

We have a Chase Mileage Plus card (which we are using to purchase the cruise) and called the travel benefit number listed on their website. I asked to be elevated to a person in the travel protection section who patiently answered all of my questions AND emailed me a link to their Travel Protection Benefit brochure which includes all of the coverages, exclusions and definitions. I am pleased because combined with travel evacuation coverage from another organization to which we belong, the Chase card will cover what we need and overall we will save over $200 for a 15 day cruise. I wish I had been more aware of this benefit on prior cruises.

How many stars is this hotel with Priceline?

The Renaissance Seattle is 3.5 stars on Priceline.

We're on the 5/9 NCL Star to Alaska. We upgraded from OV to Balcony using GTY. We've been assigned to 10210 which is a jump from the BE we paid for to BB, so can't really complain. As I've been looking at the photos online and the deck plans though, it appears that the balcony does not appear to be covered. We're not planning on trying to change anything but I was just wondering what we should prepare for as this will be the first time we would be on an uncovered balcony, if indeed that's the case. What are the pros and cons we'll be dealing with other than more exposure to inclement weather?

Sorry we didn't inquire about parking with the Renaissance Seattle. We are flying into Seattle and taking the Downtowner to the hotel and then a taxi to the pier.
