Haha well done. Best way to sample all the food. Awesome spot you live in. Any good fishing spots there?

Yep we caught Bus 23 just walking distance from where the ship shuttle bus drops you off. You'll need cash for that bus. It's only a few dollars.

I booked it directly through the Royal Caribbean website. It's worth checking travel agent sites like mycruises and flight centre to see the differences.

@@lawrencetravelvlogs thank you 🙏 I’ve not used a travel agent since Student Travel in the very early 90’s🤣🤣 I do all our bookings on line with companies like Luxury Escapes & Expedia. I downloaded Royal Caribbean app at the weekend They’ve currently worked out the. Cheapest

@@florence2095 I normally book direct. Kinda feel more comfortable booking that way. Less room for errors.

I booked well in advance so I know you can get most of your money back before a certain period. What do you mean by all inclusive? We just bought the cruise fair, no drinks package as we don't really drink much.

@@lawrencetravelvlogs thank you 🙏🏻

Nah this was the Nov 13th to 23rd cruise. We missed Dunedin due to weather and had a cat stowed on board.

Glad you did.

No, that's a free shuttle service..

No we missed Dunedin due to weather.

It's pretty good over there. So many wonderful places.

@@lawrencetravelvlogs looks amazing in the footage you shot. I definitely want to visit and explore a few places

@UnforgivenFishing Yeah it's good to get away and shoot something different.

@@lawrencetravelvlogs the fishing channel videos are amazing too the direction your taking is refreshing to see. And these travel vlogs definitely making having to go to work this week seem to be more worth wild making some savings

@UnforgivenFishing Haha well I'm glad you like em. Just haven't been out fishing enough lately to make any good videos, so I thought I'd throw in some adventure style to keep it ticking along

Give it my best go. 1. The only extra costs for foodare the specially restaurants, which you can book via your app, as for drinks all alcohol and Starbucks coffee are extra, there are free coffee ant tea all around the ship as with certain juices. 2. All the entertainment events are free except for bingo. 3. Certain times the windjammer buffet was fairly crowded, other alternatives are the Solarium Cafe or the main dining room for brekky which was empty. The main theatre gets packed for the shows so good to get there 15 to 20 mins early to get a seat. The Solarium pool area normally had all the chairs taken fairly early. 4. I thought the quality of food was pretty good, we got a little bored of the main dining room and found ourselves in the buffet most nights cause the variety was better and more flexible 5. We were on Deck 8 aft of the ship, so in the muddle really. There are lifts situated at the back and front of ship for those that can't walk far. Main dining is on deck 3 and 4 and buffet on 12 from memory. I ran everywhere cause I'm quite fit so didn't take too much notice. 6. There is a kettle in the room with full tea and coffee there. I took my own latte sachets with me and made my own coffee. 7. No saw no one flying drones from the ship. They took note of those who had drones like myself and recorded your room number. I flew my from when I got off the ship. 8. I can't remember if the app mentions what nights they have. I've done 5 past cruises with Royal so I know to pack formal, white, 80's and tropical only if you want to. 9. Pretty basic TV really, we didnt watch much TV but the channels are a mixture of royals own channels, which has the cruise director on it, a ship cam channel, and a couple of movie channels no netflix or UA-cam. 10. I didn't purchase any internet packages, over priced for my liking and slow. I used my own data roaming through my mobile phone service which was like $5 a day.

Thanks for watching. I'll try and get it out this weekend. Next one Christchurch.

@@lawrencetravelvlogs awesome, can’t wait

The tipping is built into the fare now, and all purchases on board include tips.

Went on the 13th of Nov last year. We missed Dunedin due to bad weather and the cruise after us missed dunedin and Wellington. We had 10m swells on the way over. Wasn't too bad just a slight rocking motion. Milford Sounds was magnificent but the others were hindered by bad weather. We missed the last sound as well. Weather has been hit n miss locally and abroad this year. The rest of the ports were beautiful and sunny. So pack at least one warm jumper.

@@lawrencetravelvlogs thanks for the reply. Its good know what to expect before im on the ship without a jumper 🤣, was good to watch your video to see what what my identical booked NZ cruise will be like. Dunedin has been completed removed from our itinerary now, im assuming it's been removed forever due how many times it ends up cancelled, I hear it alot that's the port everyone misses. Anyway thanks again, keep it up with video 👌👍

​@TheSk8cash Yeah probably a good idea they cancel that port. Must be due to high winds and heads that makes navigating a large ship a nightmare. Thanks for watching.

I think our checkin time was 11:30am, we got there at about 10 am, dropped off the bags, and just lined up. The security staff were really good and let us line up.
