Nanner Posted September 20, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Sorry folks, I put the wrong header on the last post. I will try to get it removed. My question is really regarding Oban, NZ. I am hating that I can't edit/ delete after less than half an hour since I posted the erroneous message. As I stated, we will be arriving in OBAN at the end of February. Along with another couple, we are looking to hire a charter tour. The issue is that the company will offer a full refund only if you cancel 48 hours or more prior to the tour. So if the captain says we don't stop, we would be outta luck. I'm not asking for opinions on whether that's okay, what I want to know is the experience of those who have sailed to Oban before. Is this a port that ships usually make, or one often missed? Thanks for any experience/input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on HAL Maasdam in the second half of February. Does the ship make a difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some times yes and some times no. Not that many cruise ships go to Stewart Island ( Oban ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karenjnz Posted November 23, 2019 #5 Share Posted November 23, 2019 (edited) Cruise ships into Oban anchor in Patterson’s Inlet and tender ashore into Golden Bay, it is usually a sheltered spot, I can’t remember any ships missing Oban in the last few years, this cruise season there are around a dozen ships due to stop at Stewart Island.
