Hi,

We are going to New Zealand in November and would like to swim with dolphins. Has anyone done it in either Akoroa or bay of islands?

We aren't sure whether it is an option in bay of islands?

Ideally we would like to go to Christchurch from Akoroa but if that's the only option for swimming with the Dolphins then we will do that.

Thanks everyone. We are from Australia so thought it might be good to look at while on solstice.

Hi,

we will be on the solstice in November and had heard that they sell Ipads in the I Lounge. Would anyone be able to give me a rough idea on their prices?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

My mum and aunts are travelling on carnival spirit next month and they have asked me to enquire what internet prices are.

I have looked on their website but can't seem to find that information.

Does carnival spirit have package prices for internet or is it just a per minute cost?

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I will ask on the Australian board.

Does anyone know what the package prices are?

Hi everyone,

My mum is coaeliac and will be on carnival spirit next month.

Could anyone fill me in on gluten free food availability on the spirit and in particular whether they have gluten free cereal?

Thanks everyone and thankyou terry for that great review. I enjoyed reading it yesterday.

We have decided on solstice as I completely forgot that we need to keep December free for our sons year 12 presentation day. So that made the decision a lot easier for us.

We will fly over a few days earlier and explore Auckland (hubby will probably do the jump off sky tower).

Plus the price is comparable to the radiance cruise even factoring in airfares.

It's also good that it's a new ship for both of us. Hubby won't have to listen to me comparing radiance and voyager again lol.

We are also really looking forward to Hobart and seeing port Arthur.

Hi,

Hubby and I are looking at what cruise to do November or December this year and have decided on New Zealand.

We are tossing up between 2 cruises: 14 nights on radiance from Sydney or fly to Auckland and do 12 nights back to sydney on solstice.

I have been on voyager to New Zealand and we both went on radiance last year.

I think we'd both like to do radiance again but the timing isn't the best and on solstice we would get to spend a day in Tasmania.

Which ship is better (I know that this would be subjective) and what differences would we notice as compared to royal?

We are both early 40s and would have no children with us...

I'd be interested in hearing what people thought too.

Would love to go next year

The travel agent rang today and lo and behold she now understands NCC's.

Waiting on my quote but I'm pretty sure it's no cheaper than what I've seen online with other companies.

If I use my NCC for this cruise can I also use a savings certificate?

Hi,

On my last cruise in December on Royal Caribbean I purchased a FCC and was led to believe that at the time of booking my next cruise this would be my deposit (as opposed to $400 deposit - 14night cruise). I understood that anyone else in my cabin pays $100 at time of booking

Forward to yesterday when I attended a cruise expo ( no cheaper btw) and travel agent said that with FCC we still pay full deposit?

This to me makes no sense as I then can't see benefit of FCC (other than maybe obc).

Can someone please clarify for me...

Hi,

Yes they can be used in mdr and you don't need to use the cup.

Not sure about diet drinks sorry

I was on a Royal Caribbean cruise last week and yes it was $15

Thanks for doing a review Gae. Only one week now til our cruise on Radiance. Can't wait to hear more

Thanks everyone. Sounds like it could be fun. Will go ahead and book

Hi,

We are going on radiance in 2wks 4days (but who's counting ) and we are considering doing the mystery dinner.

Has anyone been to one before and what did you think of it?

Thanks :)

Have a great time. I'm interested to hear your thoughts on Radiance compared to voyager.

We will be on radiance in December

We had a kettle, tea and coffee in our promenade cabin last year

I think the main reason is that they can put daily holds On your card which sometimes don't disappear from your account for a few weeks.

We paid In cash last time $US dollars.

We will do the same this time plus have a card that we can give them if needed when settling account
