Hi, i see on the Princess web page that the drinks package is only available on the sea princess for 8 nights and longer in Australia, but when i rang princess they say available 3 nights and longer cruises, has any one brought the drink package for 7 night cruising.

Thank you in advance.

Just wondering if i waned to do a self walking tour and wanted to see Te papa, cable car, parliament building and st Pauls, what would be best course to take and see 1st to last

Thanks in advance for help

I rang for OBC for our Explorer of the seas cruise in April, it was AUD 140 for US100, I got 500US for $700, they send an email to verify, you can keep adding to it up until 4 days out from your cruise. I did this last week and friends did it today at the same rate.

yes i rang today as well inquiring about the rate to buy some OBC, they also said i could get the charges on my sea pass when paying by credit card in Australian dollars, just deciding which way to go.

Hi, i am going on the explorer of the seas RCI in February and was wondering if any one knows what the recent exchange rate they use for buying some OBC before the cruise

Hi does any one know what RCI exchange rate is when buying OBC before cruise

I bought OBC on one credit card and the unused portion went back onto the card I had registered on the ship. This was only a few months ago on RCI.

Do you know what the exchange rate RCI used when buying OBC

$6.50 for most of them. $7.50 for the aluminum Bud & Bud light. Which I found funny as it's the cheap stuff!

 

There are loads of other beers on board also!

Thanks for that, how much did the beers cost

Hi, do they have more Australian beer while cruising in Australia eg VB etc

Hi was just wondering,while Explorer of the seas was cruising in Australia, are they stocking more Australian beers on the ship, we are looking at the select drink package mainly for the beer, has any one purchased that package, if so could you tell me what beers are included in that package. Thanks in advance for your help.

Coca-Cola Souvenir Cup

 

 

Freestyle Coke Machines in Windjammer Cafe

 

 

There are 7 freestyle coke machines I know of on the ship. Two are located in the Royal Promenade next to the Café Promenade. Four in the Windjammer Café (two on each side). And the final one is in Optix on deck 12. Most flavours and ice frequently run out during the cruise so it can be annoying. The starboard side machines in the Windjammer appear to be less frequently used than the port side.

Hi, to get a soft drink when you have the package do you need to carry the cup around with you every where to get a soft drink

good review, very interesting about the bar staff, can you tell me how much does the drinks cost

Hi, do you know if they accept Australian dollar on the buses, not the hop on hop off ones, would like to just go swimming, so just need to catch a bus there

Thank you in advance for all help

Hi,can some one please tell me to catch the local buses in Noumea not the hop on hop off, do they take Australian dollar

Thank you in advance for all answers

Your parents may find something like the HoHo service a good way of getting around all the main highlights. When you get here, you'll see that operating a double decker bus service would be particularly challenging in Wellington's tight downtown area! As it's a popular option on cruise days, booking in advance is a good idea. 17& 18 Nov are double dcruise ship days in Wellington so pre-booking is a very good idea for any particular tour.

 

If you have full mobility, the easiest thing to do is walk. From the Embassy Theatre in Courtenay Place at the south end of the downtown to the Parliament Buildings at the other end through the downtown shopping and business district will take less than 30 minutes if you're of average fitness - and don't stop! Take a shuttle to downtown Lambton Quay or the i-SITE, about 20 minutes walk from the cruise terminal, and then Te Papa, the Cable Car, the Botanic Gardens, Carter Observatory and then the Parliament precinct and Old St Paul's all lie north in the direction back to the cruise terminal.

 

Things to do will depend on your interests, but film tours, food tours, Te Papa, and Zealandia nature area are all popular excursions. You can get a lot more ideas at WellingtonNZ.com.

If i got off the cruise ship,which way do i start to walk if i want to see Te papa and the cable car, Thank you for your help

Hi, when you got off the cruise ship, how did you get to the top of Mount Eden

Thank you for your help, just starting to do my research

Hi, what a great review and pictures, I was just wondering the currency for on board spending, when sailing in Australia.

Thank you

The morning Today show on Channel 9 will also be showing all cruise ships and will be on the Aria tomorrow, so we should be able to get a good look at her.

I get on her in a few hours for the 10 day trip to Sydney. I'll post back with my thoughts on food from the MDR and Pantry. And other restaurants, but as long as I'm not cooking I'm not that picky :). Unless it's inedible.

Shall also give thoughts on rest of ship and how things are running onboard after her trial yesterday and last night with the lucky few.

I would love to know, how did you go getting seats at the pantry, and would it also be possible for you to post a picture off the beer and cocktail menu, so i can see what the selection and prices are, did they offer drinks packages. Thank you in advance hope you are having a great time.

i was told that some off the crew from the cruise ship go out the left gate, not the one where the markets and drivers are and walked around the track and went swimming there, do you know if it is safe to swim there

Is there any where to go swimming that is walking distance from the terminal
