I went to a couple of NZ sites and while the new fees were mentioned, they said nothing about people who already bought their NZeTA. I wonder if this change in fee amounts will be levied only at people who apply on and after Oct. 1. Maybe those of us who already have our visas will be "grandfathered" in?

We were in Aqua class on the Reflection for the Transatlantic cruise in the spring of 2023. At that time, I ordered from the MDR several times near the end of our cruise since nothing on Blu's menu appealed to me. I do not know if they changed that this year. Hopefully, someone with more recent info will chime in.

Having been a care-giver in the past, I understand the stresses you've been under and I know you need this break. I hope you enjoy every moment of your upcoming cruise. Soon, DH and I and some dear friends will be on our way on a TA to Barcelona. Then, after exploring Spain for awhile, we will hop back on board and head to Rome. First TA for DH and I but we look forward to returning to Europe, especially Barcelona. Alaska is a wonderful place to visit but it might not be the right time for that with the ports struggling to find enough staff. May I ask why you aren't interested? Is it the cold? If the cold isn't a problem, maybe Vancouver would be a good place. Explore Whistler, Vancouver, etc. That's one area we're interested in pursuing next year.
