Thank you!

Thanks.

I don't want to use debit card. Do you know if most places in Australia and New Zealand accept Visa credit card? Thanks.

Thank you for the information. How long ago you did that tour?

The tour you took is same as the link below? If so, hopefully you don't mind answering some questions for me. 1. How long did you spend in Te Puia? 2. How much time were you given for lunch? 3. Where did the tour company took the tour for lunch? 4. Did you need to have cash of NZD to pay for your lunch? Or can pay by credit card? https://www.viator.com/tours/Tauranga/Tauranga-Shore-Excursion-Te-Puia-Maori-Cultural-Centre-and-Rotorua-City-Sightseeing/d4761-6050PRTTRGRKFD Thank you.

I am surprised the agent was able to get you the old price; your cruise before March 2023?

Found the app. Just completed the process and received confirmation email that we will be notified within 72 if our visas will be issued.

Just realized the app I downloaded was for the Australia visa. We just used that app and successfully got our Australia eVisa. Now need to figure out if there is an app for the NZ visa or must be done online?

Thank you. Both of us used our own phone and just completed and received approval emails of our Australia visa. Now need to figure out how to get our New Zealand visa. I wonder if they have an app like the Australia one, so easy to use.

Thank you.

Thank you for the information.

Thank you.

Thank you so much for your explanations!! In your explanations, you said items in #1 covered illegal drugs and not OTC medicines or prescription medicines. If I am only bringing OTC and prescribed, do you still need to check #1?

Sorry for asking so many questions, just want to make sure what I need to do so not to have problem through Custom or have all my luggage thorough inspected and all messed up. 1. The form in post#48 (Aussieflyer) I need to download it from some website or it will be given to me on the plane? 2. If I marked "yes" to any of the questions, I need to go to the "declare" line? 3. All the items I declared "yes", I need to take it out and put it in my carryon before getting to Custom? I usually bring many different kind of OTC medicine (since I have a 27 days cruise). 4. If I have some OTC medicines (for allergy, upset stomach, headache, joint paint, etc.) and 2 prescription medicine , do I check "yes" on item #1? 5. If I bring one bag of ginger candy (each candy individual wrapped) and 1 bag of pre-mixed coffee (each small package individual packaged), do I check item #7? Thank you!!

Earlier I uninstalled and installed her app again. By doing that, wouldn't it bring in the latest version? She has iPhone 13. I just sent an email to askoceanmedallion@carnival.com and asked them about her log in problem and her blue status problem (she is Elite). Hopefully they will fix both of the problems. For me, my app now shows I can purchase at 50%. Since I read on CC that now the price is the same regardless I buy it ahead or buy once on board, then I rather buy it after I get on the ship. I have about $1,000 OBC remaining even after the gratuities, so I rather buy it onboard to use up some of the OBC.

Just deleted the app and reinstalled; still got the same message "sorry our server...". So I tried to go in with her booking number, and successfully log in. The status still showing as "blue".

Thank you for all your information and warnings. I read so many posts that stated the "declare" line can be very long, which is why I said I don't want the hassle. So, it is better if I don't bring any food items, so nothing to declare. Is there only 2 "types" of line, one for "Nothing to Declare", and one for "Items to Declare"? For example, even if I only have a small bag of ginger candies (for motion sickness) or just one prescription medicine (Lipitor for cholesterol), I need to mark "yes", then go to the "Items to Declare" line?

I downloaded the app and plan to apply tomorrow. My sister and I both need to apply. Each of us need to download the app to our own cell phone or can just use the app on my phone to apply for both of us (one at a time)? Thank you.

My sister and I are both Elite. My app shows correctly with the "black" status and my sister's app shows her as "blue" status. So I told her to log off and log in again, maybe the status will change if the app has recently been updated. Two days ago, she logged off. When she tried to log in again, she kept getting the message "sorry, our server is down....". Tried again this morning and still getting the same message. Anyone have the same problem when try to log in? Thank you.

Oh, didn't think of that. Thank you for pointing it out. That is okay, to save the hassle, I will not bring my coffee. I will try the Jarrah coffee. If I like it, before going to the cruise terminal the next morning, I will go back to the supermarket and buy more to bring back to the U.S.

Thank you for posting the form. Packaged dried coffee is not on the list and doesn't fit into one of the categories; then, I guess it is okay.

I will pass. 😊 Thanks to information from Wombat706, we decided we will not bring any food or snacks (nothing can be more safe than not bringing anything at all). We will just go to the supermarkets to get all the things we need for the cruise and on shore excursions. Also can buy some Australian snacks, nuts, coffee, etc. to bring home. Our cruise disembark at our home city, less than 30 minutes to drive home. Can bring back as much goodies/souvenirs as we want (from Australia, New Zealand, Tahiti, and Hawaii). ☺️

Thank you so much for taking the time to give such detailed information!! Greatly appreciate it!! Will print out your directions to take with us.
