You are very welcome. I find NZ 🇳🇿 tours from Malaysia are so expensive even when book during MATTA fairs. Example: Apple Vacations 11D/8N will cost RM26K+ per person! That’s insane. DIY yourself will be so much more affordable and enjoyable. Hope this video helped you plan a NZ 🇳🇿 holiday if you are looking to go there.
Coming soon, coming soon… lots of editing work to do. You will be able to follow us to all the ports that we stopped at NZ, all the food we ate while at ports and also all the included dining and specialty dining onboard Celebrity Edge. And there will also be a ship tour too. 5 ⭐️ ship, 5 ⭐️ food, 5 ⭐️ service! Akan datang… 🙏
RC is not too bad but Costa Serena! Just horrible horrible reviews on this cruise line. Better to just stay at home👇 www.cruisecritic.com/cruise/costa/costa-serena/reviews
Hi, Thank you very much for the wonderful videos. May I know , did you book direct with Celebrity Cruise? How did you get this discounted price? How many months ahead did you book this cruise? Appreciate your info, thank you
Thanks for watching. I just booked it online with Celebrity cruises.. 👇 www.celebritycruises.com There are always good deals around, just need to monitor prices and promotions. Cruise fares are like airline ticket prices - always fluctuating going up and down. Not necessarily the earlier you book will be cheaper. Sometimes when nearing the cruise date, when the ship is almost full, prices can increase. So check the cruise website often for price changes. I think we booked this in January for cruise in March. But if I had booked it in November 2023, it will even be few hundred USD cheaper. And pay with Maybank credit card and get TreatPoints which can then be redeemed for free air tickets! 😂.. Killing 2 birds with one stone! All the best planning your trip. 🙏👍
Thanks for sharing. What kind of stateroom did u get with that price $3448US for 2 persons? Was the room assigned to you? Did the price include gratuities already? The $700US was for the drinks. How about WiFi?
Yes, USD3448 for 2 person. Booked Oceanview Guaranteed so the room was assigned to me, if want to choose need to pay more. Gratuities included already. Extra USD700 for unlimited non-alcoholic drinks throughout the cruise. Wifi not included, didn’t want to pay for wifi as I think it is too expensive. If I remember correctly, it’s USD33 per device per day! Detail breakdown of $3448 👇 Cruise fare - $2398 Gratuities - $396 Taxes, fees, port charges - $653.90 Total charges for 2 pax: $3447.90 Just buy a SIM card for cheap and reach the ports can use it.. just cannot use the ship’s WiFi.
@@UncleLeeAdventures Thanks for your reply, Uncle Lee. Thumbs up for your videos. Were the sea days between Sydney and New Zealand calm? Did you feel any seasick? Were the *free* main dining rooms good? Look forward to watching more of your videos on this trip 😉
@@zOhMyGodz the sea between Australia and NZ was quite rough at some point but we didn’t feel a thing and slept like babies. Reason is simple. If want stability get a room at the lower decks and towards the center of the ship. This way your center of gravity is low and no matter how rough the sea becomes, your center of gravity does not change much and you will experience little movement. If your room is in the upper decks and towards the ends of the ship, you will experience the ups and downs of the ship when it goes through rough sea. And the lower the decks, the cheaper it is 😂. The suites and more expensive rooms are all on the upper decks! 😂 The 4 main dining rooms (Tuscan, Cosmopolitan, Cyprus, Normandie) are all excellent - you can have fine dining every night already included in the fare. Even Oceanview cafe is good!
Great way to tour New Zealand. Would you share how do you book your cruise? Do you need to apply for Australia visa too?Will appreciate your information.
Booked online 👇 www.celebritycruises.com Yes need both Australian visa and NZ visa. Both apply online via mobile app. New Zealand - NZeTA app Australia - AustralianETA Takes few days to get it approved. All the best and enjoy your travel.
Thanks for watching. Booked direct via Celebrity Cruises website 👇. Have fun. A lot cheaper to do DIY NZ on a cruise vs booking at MATTA fair. www.celebritycruises.com/
It’s not cheap but a lot a lot cheaper than joining a tour group from Malaysia. Example: Apple vacations 👇 in KL is selling a 11D/8N tour to NZ for RM23,999 + RM2,228 = RM26,227! www.applevacations.my/en/listing.php?keywords=New+Zealand+&dptmon=&trvlbdge=&trvlstyl=&season= The USD2080 is only a fraction of joining a tour group and it’s for 12 days 11 nights and not 8 nights. Much better value to DIY and taking cruise to NZ.
Yes need to apply. Apply online though mobile app. Mobile app is NZeTA. Also need Australian eTA. Also apply online via mobile app, AustralianETA. Usually takes few days and your application status will be updated online.
Yeah we had good fun.. 12 days of fun, some days are relaxing some days are basically roaming 🏃 around towns / cities in New Zealand 🇳🇿 ..yup, age catching up… it’s now or never. Celebrity ships are fattening ships! Something is wrong if don’t put on weight 😂. Thank you for watching 🙏
Sorry to hear that. As we age, we all have different priorities. I hope that you will be able to find happiness and laughter and enjoy life while you still have the time, money and strength. Take care and be happy. 🙏
Too much to show in one video… I know everyone very eager to see the voyage, the facilities onboard, the food we ate, the cities / towns we visited in NZ, etc.. please be patient, akan datang!

@UncleLeeAdventures I know what you meant Uncle Lee 😅, that other place already fully packed and crowded. Already so challenging to get to makan there...
I thought the same too years ago before i discovered cruising… I thought it was just eat, sleep and gamble.. and I was so wrong! Nowadays my first preference for a holiday will be by cruise ship instead of joining land based tours.
Wow very informative & enjoyable to watch👍👍🤗 thk u very much uncle Lee🙏😊👍looking forward to watch more😁👍

@@UncleLeeAdventures Thank you
I see life is full of excitement if one marry a man who loves to travel.
👍🙏
So true 😊😊😊unfortunately my hubby only like to works😂😂😂😂😂
I am waiting for you to introduce us the local tour package & cost for each stops.
Very soon! The first port we stopped, Picton, will premier on 14th May… after that the rest of the ports will follow suit.
Thanks for your patience 🙏
Uncle Lee. This holiday in Australia is not cheap.👈😁😁
It’s not cheap but a lot a lot cheaper than joining a tour group from Malaysia.

The USD2080 is only a fraction of joining a tour group and it’s for 12 days 11 nights and not 8 nights. Much better value to DIY and taking cruise to NZ.
@@UncleLeeAdventures Thanks for the info. Waiting for your video of 11 days of enjoyment in NZ..👈🙂
@@stormtrooper2170 it’s actually 12D/11N 😄
@@UncleLeeAdventures 👍😁

At the end of the video, everyone looked tired and seemed to have gained weight ..haha. Thank you for sharing😊
Yeah we had good fun.. 12 days of fun, some days are relaxing some days are basically roaming 🏃 around towns / cities in New Zealand 🇳🇿 ..yup, age catching up… it’s now or never.
Celebrity ships are fattening ships! Something is wrong if don’t put on weight 😂.

Where is ah leng
18 days trip too long for her.. but watch out in June! She will return in June! 🤞
1 billion = 1,000,000,000 (係 9 個 0, 並非 12個) 。

我和姐😮姐6 年前想去Australia New Zealand.. 因为太貴了,沒去。現在她人在天堂,錢在銀行😭😭
Sorry to hear that. As we age, we all have different priorities. I hope that you will be able to find happiness and laughter and enjoy life while you still have the time, money and strength.
Take care and be happy. 🙏
The emergency alarm sounds like Nuclear threat.
😂🤣 haha.. it has to be attention grabbing and get everyone to react to it.. 😊
Got win in casino?? Hehe
No la… lost a bit la.. 🤣
UncleLee spent too much time on breakfast table. Nothing was shown on voyage to NZ.
Too much to show in one video… I know everyone very eager to see the voyage, the facilities onboard, the food we ate, the cities / towns we visited in NZ, etc.. please be patient, akan datang!
the food in Chinatown looks bad
It’s nothing to shout about. Good enough to fill up hungry stomachs 🙏
Why no Ah Ling & Ah Fatt?
It was a total 18 day trip… too many days away for them.
They worry their fans will miss their CKT.
Uncle Lee, where is their CKT operating business?

worst group to have if they don`t eat this n that!! eat everything in moderation n you still mati lah! hahahaha.
Hahaha.. next time need to choose traveling partners carefully 😂😂😂

Yes… I need new friends who will eat anything and everything 😂
Cruise got nothing much to do...first 2 days already seen everything...somemore 12days...waste money and boring
I thought the same too years ago before i discovered cruising… I thought it was just eat, sleep and gamble.. and I was so wrong!
