Take a look at Akaroa Dolphins (https://www.akaroadolphins.co.nz/) Their website states "Full refunds will be given in the event of your cruise ship not making it into Akaroa Harbour due to unforeseen circumstances. Please contact us if this is the case." I took one of their cruises in Dec 2019 and enjoyed it very much. Perfect weather also helped 😉

What to do with all of those photos?
boeckli replied to pierces's topic in Photo & Camera Discussions
Another vote for SyncToy. Dave mentioned it on this forum a few years ago and I've been using it ever since. Very customisable and user-friendly. -
On Thursday I did a tour of the Sydney Opera House (which involves LOTS of stairs) and a nice ride in the sunshine on the Manly ferry on the way home.

Just updated my Android devices to latest Navigator version (4.27.1) which is supposed to fix the blank screen issue. Looks to be working OK.

Probably best not to pause beneath those wires for too long 😉 Cabramatta, Sydney The Pai Lau (Gateway) to the Freedom Plaza, Cabramatta (Sydney). Zoom in to try and find the kangaroos 🦘and koalas 🐨decorating the gate.

Reliable travel insurance
boeckli replied to Kinkacruiser's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
@Kinkacruiser Are you sure your cruise will be covered? I hadn't previously heard about AllClear so had a quick look at their website and their PDS. Front page https://www.allcleartravel.com.au/ states: "We’re unable to offer cover for cruise trips at this time. However, we’re excited to announce that we can provide cruise cover again in early 2023! Thank you for your patience while we bring cruise cover back to our policies, and we look forward to covering your cruise needs very soon." And this is from the PDS: -

Technically I don't think they have declared the pandemic over but that it no longer constitutes a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC) https://www.who.int/news/item/05-05-2023-statement-on-the-fifteenth-meeting-of-the-international-health-regulations-(2005)-emergency-committee-regarding-the-coronavirus-disease-(covid-19)-pandemic -

As far as I'm aware, cruise protocols are still in place in Australia at this stage. -

Great job Dave! 👍 -
That appears to be the case. The man has also been named in several news reports.

Flightease quotes browsing on mobile phone
boeckli replied to Native Floridian 26's topic in Holland America Line
Not sure if you can browse air without a booking. It works for my existing booking but I can't find a way to check on FlightEase for any other sailing (even if logged in).

Flightease quotes browsing on mobile phone
boeckli replied to Native Floridian 26's topic in Holland America Line
I just tried on my Android tablet using Chrome and it worked fine. What dates are you looking for? It may be too far ahead (I had that problem recently for my cruise next February/March). You can only access flights I think 330 days out (and that would be from end date of your sailing).
