Creator's Key Takeaways

both Australia and New Zealand require visitors to submit visas means you have to download two separate apps and complete the necessary forms before entering either country

they really mean it in Australia and New Zealand don't try to sneak anything off as Port officials do random bag searches and could face a hefty fine if caught with contraband

the sea is known for being rough and unpredictable and the region is also prone to strong winds and tropical Cyclones so make sure to pack AIDS if you're prone to motion sickness

we booked an Excursion almost every Port of Call and these tours weren't cheap often costing $2 to $300 or more per person
