Dual Citizenship CAD & NZ One way cruise

[Lilsalmon]

Hi All,

 

Complicated Question- we are moving from Vancouver to Auckland and taking a Princess Cruise to relocated. I have a Canadian Passport with PR Visa. My Husband and Child have both Canadian and New Zealand Passports. Princess only allows one passport to be registered. We do have US ports of call on the cruise. I am wondering if anyone here will know of Princess Cruises will deny boarding if my family registers their Canadian passports without a NZeTA (as they don’t need one because they are citizens)? 
 

I was directed Princess’s Visa Center to ask and they advised they travel on their Canadian Passports with the cruise and just show their NZ passports when entering NZ. But my gut still says Princess will have an issue with this.   My Cruise Coordinator doesn’t know. 
 

Ideally my husband and son can travel with Princess on their Canadian passports and simply use their NZ passports upon entry into New Zealand. Alternatively they they can travel on their NZ passports and obtain an ESTA for the US ports of call, but hoping to not have to do that. 
 

our cruise leaves Vancouver and heads to Seattle, Hawaii, Tahiti, Tauranga (NZ) and then Auckland (were we will be living). I think also have a stop in Tauranga on a Canadian passport without an NZeTa might pose a problem?
 

Anyone here have experience with this? Or know who at Princess I can talk to?

 

Thanks!
