no you dont have to pay for any gratuities on the aussie based ships, only the US ships you are required to pay
Thanks. That's what I assumed.
Dawn Princess is an Australian-based ship and, like the Sun & Sea Princesses, should have the gratuities built into the fare. It certainly does for bookings made in Australia and I would expect an NZ booking to be the same, unless the OP booked through a US travel agent - in that case the fare may not include gratuities.Nah, I booked with princess directly and they definitely know I am in NZ.
I was confused as I see this when I login to the personaliser.

Hi there
I just logged into my cruise personaliser, and it wants me to pre-pay for these?
I was under the impression that they don't charge you these on the Australia based ships.
The cruise I am on leaves Auckland on 28/02 on Dawn Princess.
Is this a mistake, or do they expect you to pay it?
Cruise Companies' control of Taieri Gorge Railway?

I am from Dunedin originally and last time I was down I did the coast line train. It's not super long (Maybe ~1 hour return) but the views are stunning, especially in summer and the price is fairly cheap.
I checked on their website for the 22nd Feb too, they don't have the full trip to Middlemarch for the Taieri Gorge but they have the shortened one available.
http://www.dunedinrailways.co.nz/our-journeys/taieri-gorge-to-pukerangi you could just do this one?
"
The train runs daily to Pukerangi, a peaceful outcrop out the other side of the Taieri Gorge. If you are worried that you will not see all the scenery on this trip then don’t; this tour allows you see all the best bits the trip has to offer. This trip will take four hours and is our most popular tour!"
