Hi all,

Thank you for all the replies and the warm welcome! I have booked the trip online myself instead of the cruise organised one as it does seem more logical.

Very much looking forward to it... Even if the 10-day forecast says rain haha.

Thanks!

Hi all

First time poster alert! Also a first time cruiser... Too many firsts!

I'm on the Dawn Princess around NZ in April and looking at Dunedin's Taieri Gorge Railway but there is a vast difference between booking it as a shore excursion ($310) and organising it individually ($90). I understand there is food and it leaves from the port as opposed to the CBD; however, surely this is a rather exaggerated pricing?

Wondering if anybody here has had experience as to whether it is worth it booking via the cruise or doing it individually is fine....

Thanks!
