Thanks Richard C.

Thanks for your info re cash,kangforpres, I have since learned one can go to guest services and ask for a variation to gratuities before the end of cruise.How it works I do not know!

Any info could help. Apon arrival in Seattle 1st May2024 we plan to fly to Honolulu on the same day. Believe we might be able to have our baggage moved from ship to Seattle airport for pick up in Honolulu. Also re gratuities, as an Australian how frowned apon is it to cash staff we are face to face with? rather than fork out pre paid of over $1000.No lectures on crew wages please.

As advised elsewhere April 1st 2024 is Easter Monday,part of along weekend here in Oz. Many local shops could be closed.

Dates back to 1st April 2024 here for me {not a April fools joke }I hope lol 7/10/23

As an Aussie passenger on this cruise,what visas will be required.USA,Japan?

Thanks Hogbay, You answered my query.

Placed Deposit on this Transpacific Cruise,bought a book on Japan lol. Does anyone know if and when it becomes an American ship instead of Australian?.Travel insurance thought.
