Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Didn't need one last week (Resilient Lady / Arrival) into Auckland. Just filled out the two page 'declaration' form - quickly thru passport control / customs and then straight out into the Queen Street Wharf
  2. Same - only 20 more days (you can spot me in red on Scarlett Night or in Pjs on the first night 🙂 VV has to take into consideration that this season was quite quick, short cruises, limited ports (mainly Tasmania) - and ask is that what consumers are after ?? It was very much a trial !! I've love to do the Athens to Australia trip - and all the ports in btw (maybe 2025) - but I wouldn't be planning / booking anything that far out (I got a good deal - with a $U900 bar tab)
  3. Whilst not listed here.... Auckland - Dock or Tenders (ship dependent) - eg Ovation (Tender) / Most others dock - and this dock is like Circular Quay right in town. Just heard from mate/travelling at the moment - that Ovation has had ISSUEs with Tenders today in Auckland - and has ultimately 'missed' this stop - everyone is p******. Christchurch - See article - https://www.christchurchnz.com/news/transport-plan-confirmed-for-christchurch-cruise-season https://www.metroinfo.co.nz/travel-and-fares-info/cruise-ship-passengers/ To travel to the Gondola or into Christchurch city, your best options are to use the shuttle buses from the wharf provided by the cruise lines. We have been working hard with our industry partners to ensure that these shuttles offer a fast, direct and affordable service Picton - shuttle from the 'log dock' is provided - you cannot walk off - this takes you to the park/bus stop close to the shop areas
  4. after they have based their AU departures for the 1st season out of Melbourne ???
  5. a google search here https://www.cruisecritic.com.au/articles/overseas-passenger-terminal-parking-address-amenity-info There is NO free wifi
  6. Lot of promotional activity for Resilient Lady over the next few days. They were lucky to get such great weather !! https://www.9news.com.au/national/virgin-voyages-richard-branson-arrives-in-sydney/7b90eba3-c8a6-4942-aaeb-b214a0a36d59 Looks like that tree at the back has been removed ! (gee you can't even post a youtube page from a travel reviewer site on here)
  7. So… since last Thurs it hasn’t arrived anywhere ?? They should join the P&O passengers and revolt /s when one thing goes wrong,,,, we got lucky on its 3rd cruise out of Sydney that it rushed between Picton and Dunedin arriving a night earlier Jan 2017 due to expected bad weather https://www.odt.co.nz/news/dunedin/look-what-turned-time-dinner
  8. Picton - again it's wineries - however CHECK your port schedule for your cruise (doing the 5 March - and times on this trip are 10.00 -17.00 - this doesn't allow for much time) I probably wont be getting off, didn't find much to do walking around the town (note its a working dock - and requires buses from the logging port).
  9. https://www.9news.com.au/national/cruise-australia-new-zealand-hull-cleaning-passengers-sent-to-hobart/8fd50144-17b5-4dc0-b6b5-ed02eda12921 https://www.9news.com.au/national/cruise-australia-new-zealand-hull-cleaning-passengers-sent-to-hobart/8fd50144-17b5-4dc0-b6b5-ed02eda12921
  10. you think ?? Korean BBQ.... plus a bread basket. Mexican.... plus a bread basket.. /s if you didn't know .
  11. back on topic..... Menus for VV / Resilient Lady https://profcruise.com/resilient-lady-menus?fbclid=IwAR29_gsO2ImjSRFpcAmIppXVFo5lgaoJUXEDrNSf3sMuqcQcxKm87aVSsSI
  12. There’s plenty of YouTube clips on this ship - if you are imagining Cunard and port lectures, then this is not the cruise line for you. Expecting big sit down shows or captain announcements, again, not for you. there’s Scarlet night (where the whole ship is red - so dress up in red ), Pajama night…l plus a few shows in the Manor. doing the Melb to Auckland trip in March - but wish I could fo the Athens to Sydney trip next year. There were a few deals a few weeks ago offering decent bar tabs (we got $U900) Any further questions are answered here https://vvinsider.com/
