If I was catching an international flight, I would plan to fly out the next day, just in case! With domestic flights we always book a flight for the early afternoon or even a little later.

Leigh For international flights, we do the same, fly in a day or more earlier and fly out a day or so later. For domestic we don't sort of worry about it.

NSWP Posted August 26, 2019 #480 Share Posted August 26, 2019 (edited) Looking at itinerary they appear to have have joined the worldie up with a South Pacific cruise, starting and finishing in Auckland. Must be a few Kiwis on board now then. A few Aussies have jumped ship. Edited August 26, 2019 by NSWP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As per most world cruises , so there are always vacancies on the Ak to Syd segment. Nice way to cruise over to Sydney , although not at this time of the year.

NSWP Posted August 26, 2019 #485 Share Posted August 26, 2019 (edited) Nice pics thanks David. Could be a little bit bumpy, Bay of Islands to Sydney, arriving on Thursday morning, but not too bad, 4 to 5 metre seas.

Rare MicCanberra Posted August 26, 2019 #487 Share Posted August 26, 2019 A few good options to suit both NZ and Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted August 26, 2019 #488 Share Posted August 26, 2019 (edited) Yes, Princess are very clever with their itinerary planning, especially for big cruises like those where it might be hard to fill the ship with just one embarkation port as some people wouldn't book them if they had to fly to, say, Sydney. It adds to the cost, plus some people, like Gut's wife, can't fly for health reasons. Edited August 26, 2019 by OzKiwiJJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted August 28, 2019 #495 Share Posted August 28, 2019 It's not quite finished. I think the last of the Worldies disembark in Brisbane on Saturday.

When we did this cruise they put on a party lunch in the MDR just before we dropped off the Auckland passengers. I'm sure they will do something special for your cruise as well. Enjoy the shopping in Hawaii and don't be suprised at how many sketchers people buy. Bon voyage! It is a great cruise for those that love sea days (that's me).

Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted August 28, 2019 #498 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Thanks Kiwi Kruiser and sewgood. I have skechers on my shopping list for Honolulu although with the poor exchange rate they may not be a good bargain any more. We love sea days too so this cruise is ideal for us.

A couple of times we have been to the Skechers outlet store. I think it is in Maui, maybe 2km walk from where the tenders drop pax off. The prices are excellent, although they don't have the full range. We have sometimes got the "buy one and second one at half price" deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
