The "standard" of the domestic terminal is also a disgrace.
"One of New Zealand's biggest travel agencies says coronavirus FEARS have resulted in FEW CANCELLATIONS from clients, although consultants have been busy rebooking new flights for others who had been flying through China." ............ $2.50 if you want to read more NZ Herald
Seems not everyone fears flying
https://www.cnbc.com/2020/02/07/coro...oll-rises.html Wonder how many will cancel cruises this year ? which will have a roll on effect on the air travel involved.
We were all set to go on our first ever cruise in Sept this year...just as well it was a P&O Oh Buoy $1 initial deposit sale at Christmas. Its looking very unlikely we'll be paying the 25% deposit due next month. https://www.pocruises.com.au/campaigns/oh-buoy-sale
For anyone interested, their marketing, print and T.V. shows a slim young lady encouraging Kiwi's to get into lots of New Zealand natural ice-cream...the only thing is that its clearly implied that this is included in the cruise price but it isn't. The Ice-cream parlor on board is not one of the included dining facilities in the cruise but an optional extra. I'll leave you to judge for yourself if you think this is disingenuous marketing or not. I think its pretty "sharp practice" especially using large imagery that's highly appealing to a hungry dog that likes that ice-cream. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5B6BE0qFTA
Easy enough to reschedule a cruise for when it is safe and will probably be at a better price. Not prepared to bet money, (aka pay a sizeable deposit next month) in the hope it will be all over by Sept, although I do hope it is !
True, though don't forget that the infection risk in the winter hemisphere (skiing) is probably higher than in the summer hemisphere (cruise ship). I think I'd take the summer, agree however with beagle that he will get probably better prized cruises closer to the time.
Wondering however when the first specials for Queenstown come out ... always wondering whether the place is worth a visit .. and might be actually nice with lesser tourist around?
