That's what that says. It's also free from 7pm to 7am and all weekend and public holidays. -

Australia / New Zealand Port Summary
boeckli replied to OzKiwiJJ's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
There's also Timaru in NZ (a docking port as per my itinerary for Feb 2024). -
Oh boy! That must have been quite a scare. Why do things like that pick long weekends to manifest themselves when medical attention is often limited ... Good to hear you're OK - just take it easy and look after yourself. Sending lots of positive vibes your way.

That's astonishing!

Wouldn't expect any OBC if weather related, only a refund of relevant port charges.

Images of Ships in Port (The Sequel)
boeckli replied to Host Bonjour's topic in Photo & Camera Discussions
Nice shot but with the red tugs this looks more like Wellington. The tugs in Port Chalmers are blue. -
Thanks for sharing your photos. Are you saying you walked all the way into the city centre? Why not take the bus or tram? Hope you're enjoying your stay here in Sydney today. I see you were lucky and docked at the Overseas Passenger Terminal, which is so much more convenient for sightseeing than the alternative (White Bay).

I have a cruise booked for Feb 2024 and was able to book shore excursions but not specialty dining yet. I suggest log in and try 🙂

Don't think anybody would be happy about that sort of situation but I think I would actively do something to remedy it, like find anything anywhere to purchase (either onboard or ashore) and then claim on insurance. It's not like they were in the jungle or a third world country. On the subject of ashore - they said Christchurch was their first port after six (6) days?? And the only thing she bought were some jeans she didn’t like so didn’t wear ...

Story about a couple where the wife's suitcase was lost (inside the ship apparently) during their NZ cruise. They'll find anything to put a negative spin on cruise companies I think ... https://9now.nine.com.au/a-current-affair/cruise-customer-tears-after-lost-luggage-forced-her-to-wear-same-clothes/b3e163cc-bbcd-4474-8c58-d15eca63e14e

Gratuities Holland America
boeckli replied to Bizziecruzer's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
Gratuities (crew appreciation) are added daily to your onboard account. You do have an option to prepay them in A$ (at a very favourable exchange rate). Look in your HAL account under 'Manage my cruise', it's towards the bottom of a list of items.
