Mechanical issues on Cook Strait ferries are having a ripple effect on passengers.
At one point today only one ferry was carrying passengers between the North and South Islands, with a number of engineering issues at Bluebridge and Interislander.
It's triggered a wave of cancellations, with two more Bluebridge sailings being canned tomorrow.
Passenger Robert Cross says he travelled from Tauranga to Wellington before finding out his trip across the Cook Strait wasn't going ahead.
He says the lack of customer support is surprising, given he received no notification his journey would be cancelled.
