I just learned that we will going on a cruise from Sydney To Auckland in January,2018. Have to book flights this week (Monday 26 March)!!! How many days do you suggest we stay in each city before and after cruise? We are 60, active, travel often but this is our first visit to Australia.

i would so appreciate your ideas of things to see & do in these two cities —- favorite hotels & restaurants too.

thank you in advance for any tips & hints

Hi, are you aware you posted in the Europe forum? Lots of Aussies and NZers keep an eye on the Australia/NZ forum and can offer lots of current help. Or the cruise forum (this might be a good place as people who take cruises know about how much 'buffer' time one needs before and after a cruise.

When you post your question, perhaps give the name of your cruise company and the cruise. Best of luck.

Sydney And Auckland .... need last minute help fast!
