Well truth be told, more or less like any cruise line, their different from Princess, they charge for things that princess provide free, but that is because in general they are catering for a different nitch of people.

 

Princess are starting to change that now!, as you will soon have to pay for thing that use to be free!

Oceania's Free Shuttle List says several places in city center....can anyone tell me more specifically "Where in the City Center?"  Trying to set up a meet with friends.

Thanks,

Greg

 gdlamberth Does Oceania say where in Wellington, these stop are?

As it could be "Museum of New Zealand Te Papa" or the "Wellington i site Visitor Information Centre" or somewhere else!

If you don't get any more information from any one else, I will try and get in touch with the Visitor Information Centre and see if I can get some more info for you :).

If worse comes to it, you could say to your friends that you could meet them at "Museum of New Zealand Te Papa"

Good Morning,

Tonight (Australia / New Zealand time) the Coral Princess is due to do her Panama Canal   :D

If you want to watch her do her transit you can watch them here: https://multimedia.panama-canal.com/

I will hopefully be posting webcam captures thought the transit!, so keep an eye on this thread tonight!

She is due to start her transit at about 9:00pm AUST (Sydney time).

It will be noon/lunch time here in the UK when she does her transit.

I will post another update on her location, latter today (in the morning UK time).

Good Night from the UK!

Good news.

It appears the original recipe for those delicious, chewy oatmeal cookies is back.

Just in time to munch on during the Panama day tomorrow.

I'm not positive but I think the aussie WC's always dock at the Manhattan dock, it certainly did for the 2014 and 2018 Wc's and I believe it did for the 2017, and now the 2023.

I haven't heard anybody mention docking on a WC at the Brooklyn docks, although Princess does mention it as a possibility in their dock info.

It definitely would not be as convenient as the Manhattan docks.

 

As far as I remember, since I started stalking the World Cruises, they have all docked at the Manhattan docks.
