Single person booking in a balcony cabin.
Hogbay replied to JohnGc's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
And booking using a false us address through a us based TA is OK? -
Sure is , before on Ovation received both obc and 50% ffc for missing Mystery and Noumea due to aziepod. Feel for the kids looking for their Valentín, heaps of yong ladies whom came in groups for sun in the South Pacific ,one grup was from Sydney too.

Quantum has been given permission to enter Sydney Harbour finally. Not the South Pacific tropical holiday everyone booked. I thought that FCC was definitely due , nope .just a obc .

Best Way to Have NZ$ at Airport?
Hogbay replied to JohnQ's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
During covid everything became contactless and will not be going back , Westpac dont do forigen cash anymore . Ride share are payed with plastic too . Maccas did not take chash in Auckland. Beer at a pub , tap and go . -
Heard you got obc and ffc of 50% ! Suppose that's not much when you paid so little to start with . Quantum off the Gong doing 6 knt.. got no obc or ffc and was on last cruise which was to Hobart. Pools flat as ?? And sun out .

Either was Vila Vanuatu but Quantum did not go there and today, Sunday , was supposed to be in Sydney harbour but told Harbour closed to her ,too windy.

Customs question... Protein Supplement
Hogbay replied to cruisin from florida's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
You will collect your bags before going to border security and will check your luggage and declared items. If you have replaced the white powder with another white powder you will be getting a extension on you're vacation. -
Nothing in the news about Norfolk and Gab after all the hype .

Single person booking in a balcony cabin.
Hogbay replied to JohnGc's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
The bean counters seam to want two people in a cabin , more potential spending onboard than one. A no show can be much cheaper than booking as a solo. -
South Pacific - What currency do I need to take?
Hogbay replied to GeroWA's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
Don't try and catch a bus, even those Don't take AUD . You have to move with the times . -
Quantum will remain at sea due to 40kn winds in Sydney harbour and has been denied entry.

What time is Gab coming? Hope she don't make a mess
-
Its called weather seeing the earth was to crack and the dams would never fill again and we needed to build desal plants that have never been used costing millions to stay stand by, I've have known ideas what the seas will be like tomorrow. 🙂

South Pacific - What currency do I need to take?
Hogbay replied to GeroWA's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
Hope NO one listened to your advice ... as Fiji dollars ,CPF and Vatu are useless in Sydney and Hobart without a huge exchange rate loss and Tangalooma is only Au $ and card this is were ships have diverted too . -

Royal caribbean offer is 0 . But they are sorry. Been cruising since 1983 and the "cyclone season " has very little effect on cruising , Beatles and medical emergencies have a far greater effect..
