Oblivian:
But the govt? had just done an 80% cruise industry fee increase somewhere so there's possibly less, or cancellations on horizon. That's millions and they can't add it as our processing fares need to be all inclusive at booking time.

 

When was that fee increase ??





Whilst the difficult we can do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. However, miracles you will have to wait for.

Proposed from December 1st.

Which considering most people will book a year or two in advance is about to hit them in the pocket

Ports of Auckland handling also proposed a jump and timeline but have since gone into talks and thinned that out a bit I believe

Off on a 6 day Royal Princess cruise from Princess Cruise company on the 22nd October till 28th October for my 70th. Auckland - Picton - Sydney.

 

Here is a great review website for cruises. The link is for our ship.

 

As we lived in Sydney - Melbourne - Sydney for 30 years we will staying a week in Sydney with friends and having great old catch up, then fly home.

 

PS: Hoping that Sydney JB HiFi still have Beats Studio Pro ANC Over-Ear Wireless Headphones at A$359 as opposed to NZ$501.98 from PB Tech or NZ$599.95 from Apple NZ.
