Video from 2013 March Oosterdam Australia - New Zealand Adventure

[absolutboy20]

As some of you may know, I tried my luck at a live blog on my cruise back in February-March 2013 of our trip from Auckland to Sydney on the Atlantis gay charter of the Oosterdam. I was pretty successful with the ports of Auckland, Wellington, Akaroa, Wellington, and Melbourne. I didn't do a review of my stay in Sydney as some time had passed, and Sydney is such a well reviewed destination by other posters.

 

But after getting a new computer, I FINALLY got around to editing the pictures/videos together to try my first attempt at making a small trip video over the weekend. It covers some of the experiences on life on board, excursions - I did them through HAL, and pictures of the ports. So if you are so inclined, the links are below:

 

Video 1 - Auckland (Auckland Museum Skytower) and Sea Day

 

Video 2 - Wellington (Seal Coast Safari) and Akaroa (Manderley Sheep Farm)

 

Video 3 - Dunedin, Tasman Crossing, Melbourne

 

Video 4 - Sydney, Mardigrasland

 

If you were interested in reading the "live blog" that I did while on board, the link is below:

Thanks for sharing your videos and pictures. Great job! Lots of familiar sights, we were in Australia and New Zealand on the Oosterdam last year.

 

I especially enjoyed seeing the send-off the ship received during the sailaway in Auckland.

 

Looks like it was a fun cruise. :D

Thank you!

 

We are scheduled for this adventure next March. You add to the excitement and anticipation hugely!

Thanks all!

 

Nlsoftly, you'll have an amazing time. Such contrast between Sydney and ports like Akaroa.

 

I didn't do the Skyjump unfortunately. Part cost and part it was fun to watch other people doing it =)
