Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I was on a cruise in NZ late January/early February. It is indeed true that everything imaginable can be paid with a card in NZ and Australia now, even a single cup of coffee. The one thing that we did need cash for was buying home made garments such as wooden beanies, blankets and jumpers from the shore excursions to sheep farms. We had about $40 NZ from a previous visit to NZ, but the beanie I wanted was $50 NZ. However, your problem would probably be what you would do if you had that sort of money left after your cruise, with no intention of visiting NZ again for many years.
  2. We have just returned from a cruise on Carnival Splendor (Dec 5 to Dec 15 2022). The management of Covid risks seemed to be optimal. We were required to have our international vaccination certificate, plus a negative RAT test performed in the 24 hours before the cruise. THEN, at 9 am after the first night of the cruise, we were required to do another RAT test. Masks were required for indoor areas and crowded outdoor areas, unless eating or drinking. There was no obvious Covid on board, but I would be interested to hear whether some passengers were identified by the RAT test after the first night on board. There was certainly no offical mention of people on board being active Covid cases.
