I'll be in Melbourne for 4 days prior to flying to Auckland, maybe you can suggest some place there? Denise

Ok thanks!

We will be spending several days in Auckland prior to a South Pacific cruise. Prior to arriving in Auckland we will spend about 2 weeks in Australia & take a Celebrity NZ cruise. I'm figuring we'll have lots of souvenirs, so I'll be looking for a good size tote bag for my goodies to bring home. Can anyone recommend a store in Auckland to purchase a good size tote bag. We are staying at the JW Marriott which is in the CBD, I think. Thanks, Denise

If you order a small bottle of water, can you get sparkling water too? Thanks

We also have a nice selection of local Aussie and NZ wines available that never showed up on any menu but were included in PDP cap of $20 per glass. We just asked our sommelier in Luminae for the local wines at meals. This info is making me very happy! We'll be on the Edge starting 3/13 in a SV so regular dining, will ask if any local wines are available with Premium.

And the loud cell phone calls!

Thanks, super excited for our first E class! Love all the tips shared here!

I know that 2 of the restaurants are smaller, Tuscan &?

Silhouette is my favorite! Glad you had a good time!

Loved that Godfather tour!

Thanks me too!

Do you buy the Opal card online? We plan to go to the zoo one day & Manly beach another day So better to get the card? Thanks

We were invited the last time we were on the Summit with Captain Kate. We were leaving Bermuda & there were many sailboats in the harbor since it was a week before the America's Cup. Sparkling wine was served, it was quite a festive departure!

We are planning to take a taxi to the Hilton in Moorea. We will be tendering in from the Grand Princess. Were there a lot of taxies available & did they only accept XFP currency? Thank, Denise

Thanks so much for your review, the Silhouette is our favorite S class & we love Blu on this ship! Denise

My designer is Levi Strauss!

I agree, a taxi is our best bet, thanks again!

Thanks for the info! We are arriving in Melbourne from a few days visiting Uluru. So I guess we'll be arriving at a domestic terminal. We are staying at the Melbourne Sheraton, on Little Collins St.

What about travel to & from the airport in Melbourne? We are going to be there for 4 days at the end of March. Thanks, Denise

Is that a flat rate or a metered fare?

Well, they had in New Jersey in 1976. It was a Pathmark supermarket, right off Rt.4. We would drive from NYC every 2 weeks for groceries & they had it in the refrigerated section!

That's very cool, thanks for the back story!

Really? Never saw that, may have to now!

Not arguing - especially since I am unable to drink Alcohol and haven't had a beer since in College where we would pay a premium for Coors -- LOL - I was on the East Coast. In the mid 70's we lived in Manhattan & would drive to New Jersey to buy Coors! At the time it was not sold in NYC & in New Jersey it was only sold refrigerated because it was so special. It was treated better than French champagne! 🤣

I've done the same thing, my DH takes a load of meds! Plus on our last Princess cruise in 2019 DH got a very bad case of the flu & we spent about $30 just on Tylenol since we were on a TA. Now we bring loads of OTC meds.
