linanles Posted October 18, 2016 #26 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Wear your best Ugg boots on formal night. For men they could also wear a possum peter heater, oh, I forgot, that wouldn't be seen. But you would know it's there. :D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chesterbear Posted October 18, 2016 Author #31 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I think any one who spills their beer or wine has a drinking problem. The whole idea is to swallow it without spilling.;) I'm a klutz. Hopeless with geography and recognising ferries. Cannot be trusted not to drop things. This morning I couldn't find the cat until I put my glasses on and he was sitting on the couch right in front of me. I put wine spilling in the same category [emoji74] Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linanles Posted October 18, 2016 #32 Share Posted October 18, 2016 They're a Kiwi thing not a Queensland thing. The kiwis have no love for possums and blame the aussies for inflicting possums on them. They also call peter heaters, willy warmers and here is a link to a site where you can buy one made of possum fur. http://nzsouvenirgifts.co.nz/?product=possum-fur-willy-warmer Read the description.

Beanb41 Posted October 28, 2016 #36 Share Posted October 28, 2016 The answer is so simple you will kick yourself. Just wear a All Blacks jersey, you can wear it with pride and no Aussie would ever wear one. Ever. No self respecting Australian would wear a Wallabies jersey either.

Beanb41 Posted October 29, 2016 #38 Share Posted October 29, 2016 (edited) One doesn't have to worry about dressing like a kiwi. All you have to do is speak to your fellow passengers. They will recognise you straight away, because one knows that us kiwis don't have an accent, only foreigners have accents. So there !!!

NSWP Posted October 30, 2016 #41 Share Posted October 30, 2016 (edited) Anybody seen the latest Air NZ ads starring 'Dave the Duck?' Funny as. They are on the Air NZ website. We are going with Air NZ to LA very soon. Dave the Duck could be on board, well he would be better company than the Kiwi Sheep on the Boeing 777-300.

rumpelstiltskin Posted October 30, 2016 #43 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Just mention six and it'll raise their eyes. Don't let these Aussies pick on you, Chesterbear.:D We Yanks pronounce the word "route" both ways. First time I visited Oz, I learned that one of those ways is a very naughty word. So, before returning in a couple months, I am trying to remember to always pronounce it as "rowte". However, it does give an interesting twist to the old classic television series slogan: "Get Your Kicks On Route Sixty Six."

Dizziedi Posted October 30, 2016 #46 Share Posted October 30, 2016 (edited) I have rather enjoyed following this thread: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2413339 But it brings up a rather serious issue for me. How to differentiate myself from all the Australians on the ship. Don't get me wrong, Australia is great. For instance, I drive a Holden, shop at Australian stores that have set up here and watch Australian TV programmes. I also like to visit Australia. My late grandmother was even born in Wonthaggi. I don't want the poms or yanks asking what state New Zealand is a part of. Or saying that our flag is missing some stars and our coins are weird. Now as a female, budgie smugglers aren't an option. And I have to keep it classy. I already checked and you can't get a swandri dress and red band gumboot high heels. Surely someone would have a suggestion or two? Sent from my iPad using Forums As a Kiwi, I dress the same way I always dress. In all our cruises, I have never had anyone ask any questions or make comments regarding those you raised. Most comment on how beautiful NZ is. Perhaps if you really want to, you could wear an AB's jersey:) Be yourself and be a proud Kiwi.

Some years ago I ended up transferring to Air New Zealand to LA and back because Qantas was sacred of a volcano. Had the joy of Richard Simmons doing the safet videos on every leg of the route.
