Counting to 16...

[Ithikan]

A niggling question, just prior to our Jan. 23 to Feb. 8 cruise...  The voyage is sold by Azamara as "15 Nights Tahiti to Auckland."  When I count the number of nights onboard, however, I come up with 16.  We will cross the Int'l Dateline, if that is significant.

I'd like to know how many nights this voyage will be, as I ponder whether or not to purchase a Wifi pkg.  For comparison should I use 15 nights as advertised, or 16 nights as (potentially) experienced?  Petty perhaps, but I am seriously curious.

Thanks for any and all input,

Teri

An interesting question!

I guess that crossing the dateline is the clue here. I think that you’ll actually experience 15 nights, but 16 dates, because of the dateline. As the cruise is advertised as 15 nights,  I would expect the wifi package to be the daily rate times 15.

Thank you, HGC!

That’s it.  At some point you’ll turn the clock 24 hours forward and that’s your missing night.

Yes we experienced that and it is confusing
