Creator's Key Takeaways

I am venturing out on my own this time on a transpacific we are doing um Tahiti French Polynesia and then on to New Zealand ockland in the Bay of islands and then in the Sydney

check-in was super easy literally walked to um imig migration showed my passport showed my uh went through the security thing and then just showed my C pass card and my passport and I'm ready to check in an hour early

what's nice about this ship is everything's circular so you can see up as far as 10 floors up and there's chairs that go around those those areas so you can sit up way up high and watch the show below

the crowd is fairly older someone told me a long time ago the longer the trip the older the crowd so just keep that in mind if that bothers you

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Secure travel visas for New Zealand and Australia before heading to the port using the apps, as you need the approval status to board the ship.
βœ“Get visa sorted out before you head to the port to avoid issues during embarkation.
βœ“If you prefer a window table in the dining room, communicate with the staff and they may try to accommodate you.
