Hello Railwaylass, it would appear we are on the same cruise. Hobbiton was a place I also would like to see. It appears to be about 2 hours from Auckland. I don't see why a private operator could not get you there, spend a few hours and get back to ship. We are in port about 12 hours. All this said, I, with my wife, would be interested in the excursion if we could get it put together. Don't recall you on the Roll Call, If not, join. We may get one or two more couples. Think keeping it a small group is the best. Let me know. John

I was just on the Regal in late February. I also do not prefer the dine anytime. First night we went to dinner and service was very slow. Not waiters fault, Princess seems to have reduced dinning room staff quite a bit. Skipped it, dinning room second night. Third night we went and was seated with a great waiter. On way out, we asked if we could book that table each night and was granted that. Dinner was a bit early at 5:20, but that greatly increased our experience at dinner. Suggestion, go and make a reservation for the entire trip for a specific dinner time and table. Just like old times. John

Have a great cruise. We leave on February 25 from Galveston. Do they sell any non-alcoholic beers? Thanks Joh

Have not sailed since 2019. Read problem with power strips so I went looking on Princess site. Found list of prohibitive items. It did not mention power strips or power strips with surge protectors. Are power strips allowed or not allowed. I want my power strip not for plug in but it has 4 USB connectors. In no power strip, can I bring a USB plug in charger with multiple USB ports?
