To me (in USD), expensive would be for dinner (no alcohol), anything over $30/pp. Breakfast anything over $15/pp (I must be cheap 🙂  )

We will be staying at the Four Seasons near Circular Quay pre-cruise for a few days. Looking for breakfast and dinner suggestions.  Not looking to spend $$$$, just good food.

Maybe I'm getting paranoid, but do you need to declare things like Tums that are loose in your pocket or Prep-H that is in your checked baggage?

We will be arriving via air into Sydney from the U.S.  We have our VISA's, but was thinking we could pre fill out the declaration form i.e. medications, food......, but can't see to fine one online.  Anyone have a link?

Why would I want to pre-pay for a drink package (charging my credit card) when I have OBC's that would pay when settling my account?

Thx

I thought I read an article but now can't find it that stated when arriving in Australia you can not have any food with you.  This means if you brought M&M's on the flight for a snack, or chips..... you must trash them on the plane if not finished.  Is that true?

Anyone know the max daily withdrawal limit at Australia ATM's? I need cash for some tours and may need to withdrawal over a few days.

Thanks everyone!!!!

We are THINKING about a Sydney Harbour dinner cruise. Is it worth it as it will be dark and if so, can you recommend a specific dinner cruise. please.

We will arrive in Sydney and fly to Cairns for some activities. When we fly back to Sydney how far in advance of the scheduled flight time do we need to arrive at the Cairns airport? Is it like the USA, 2 hours?

What is the best way to get from the airport to the Circular Quay area? Taxi, Uber....

I kinda agree with you!!! I somewhat of a control freak :)

First it is $121 /pp cheaper than regular ticket. Second, American site has dashes and wouldn't allow me to select. On the phone with AA right now to see if I can get them to select.

Our cruise isn't until Feb. 2019 and we have selected Princess EZ Air (for now). Of course we can't officially get seats until Dec final payment, but we can suggest seats to American now. Problem, the Princess seat selection is all singles yet if I look at the American site, seats are available all over. Is this normal for EZ Air?

So with the Ticket Pending up until 45 days prior, you can't get seat assignments or upgrade to Main Cabin Extra on AA?

There are "things" that need to be reviewed by the gov when leaving Australia https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/trav/ente/goin/departing . Will this "stuff" be checked by immigration at the port before checking in at Princess?

Yes we have booked, but the return air will not be available for another 12 days (330 out).

Is ZAir usually cheaper than "regular" air?

There have been a lot of posts about ZAir, but I can't find an answer to my question. We are doing the Australia/New Zealand cruise next February (ZAir will be available soon). The cruise leaves Monday, February 18, 2019, but we want to leave the U.S. Sunday, February 10 to allow for pre cruise sightseeing and on the return, the cruise ends Saturday, March 2nd. We want to do post-cruise sightseeing for a few days. Can we still book ZAir (if cheaper)?

Thx

I just read that U.S. citizens need a Visa for Australia, but not New Zealand. Is that really true if staying less than 3 months?

Overseas Passenger Terminal in Circular Quay?? Also looking for a good moderate priced nearby.

I am trying to select a "shore excursion" (non Princess) for Fiordland NP. Does Princess dock anywhere that a 3rd party tour company can pick you up? The Princess site only says "scenic cruising", but they offer/mention some shore excursions.

NY to Sydney is 16 hours if winter in NY. I asked Alaxia :)
