  1. Shuttle operated by the city from berth to town. Can walk from there to center of town or get on a HoHo bus. Suggest you use Google Maps. Shows things very clearly.
  2. I have always loved going to gastrulations! Lol.
  3. There are 3 flavors of visas in NZ - assuming you are American or Canadian etc. - 2 ETAs. One is for transiting from one airline flight to another at the airport. (for example arrive at Auckland airport) The other is for tourism. Think you simply booked the wrong one. Only way to fix is go back and buy the correct one.
  4. Try the Falkland Islands! About half the ships make it for the scheduled port call.
  5. As long as you are happy with the itinerary- congratulations
  6. No good way to attach a diffuser we found. DW simply goes out on the veranda for a couple minutes. 3-4 hours to dry your hair? Am jealous.
  7. The channel lineup varies by where you are sailing. Some channels different in Europe vs. North America. Far more than 30 year old TV shows. Yes with the streaming package people have streamed using an iphone. Seemed complicated. Again, we do not cruise to watch TV.
  8. Why the insult. Not what I said. Black slacks, black leather Birkenstocks and matching black socks. They blend together and unless someone got down on the floor they could not tell.
  9. Medallions are shipped about 10-14 days before your cruise. Patience. Mine arrived 2 days before sailing. Remember you can simply pickup at the pier. Luggage tags - why worry about this. You do NOT need them. Simply check your luggage at the terminal.
  10. No as your laptop cannot read the chip in the passport. Newer tablets usually can do it. However have seen airline personnel do it. Am sure you have a friend who has a smartphone. There are 3rd party companies that charge anywhere from$80 to $200, but cannot imagine you do not know someone with a smartphone. As a last resort go at opening time to a phone provider - Verizon or ? - and ask for help. Maybe some $$. I note several of the 3rd party websites are SCAMS. Reported in local Australian news. Careful.
  11. If you are in a group simply show up at the port together. Never an issue with my group. And yes the app.can be wonky.
  12. DW and I wear ONLY sandals. Don't even own a pair of closed toed shoes. For nice evening wear we wear black or dark brown Birkenstocks and socks of the same color. Did a gala event at the Arizona Theatre Company last night. A black tie affair. Nobody noticed our sandals.
  13. No refund. Celebrity has the right to change ports.
  14. Ships now at sea have cancelled and are quickly leaving. Cyprus or Turkey instead
  15. Sort of. There is a website that you can use to "scan" for open cabins for your next "sea" voyage. They are a TA so cannot mention there name. The issue is all cabins in group blocks show as sold until the block is released - about 30 days out. A clue that is simple. After final payment is prices move up- very full. Down - lots of unsold. By the time we you know too late to cancel. As already said cruises are pretty full today.
  16. Used Starlink while in Estonia. Had no issues until I fired up my VPN. Took a while to fix settings to work. On a TA the speeds were about 3mps at times. 20 others.
  17. As said, who knows. The "war" is only hours old. If there are concerns shortly before your cruise port stops in the area will be obviously cancelled
  18. May in the time I commercial fished in Sitka was the best month. Sunny and nice about 75% of the days. Again, if you can accurately predicted the weather 7 months ahead there are lots of high paying jobs out there.
  19. Went thus year on a Holland America cruise in late May. Our shore excursion was changed and shortened as one of the roads was closed due to snow. Impossible to predict. Later in the year is better as snow less likely. In recent years the port has not opened till early May. Fully open about June 1st
  20. Everyone should read your post and understand the derails of their airline booking BEFORE finalizing their flight. Agree also without both reservation codes you stand little chance of making a change so latr.
  21. You will find bringing back wine from Australia to the US very expensive. Many wineries can arrange on case lots for you to have shipped to a distributor in Florida.
  22. On our last Princess cruise fiddled with the app and entering info till I simply gave up. Deleted and reinstalled several times. A very common problem.
  23. The OP wants the internet to be faster. Really simple. Problem is satellite coverage is pretty thin once a couple hundred miles at sea. The reason is little demand except from a few thousand people on a cruise ship or two. Speeds will vary. We got anywhere from 3-20mps when between Iceland and Greenland. Varied literally by the minute.
  24. Have always have my US DL accepted. Where you are confused is there are two levels of DL in the US. Older licenses are not valid as Federal ID or travel. Newer ones if you provide additional details and proofs are valid as Federal ID.
