I did this back in 2007 - no problems but I don't think there was a AUS websites back then

Hi

I just priced the same cruise, same cabin, pre-paid gratuities for USA - i.e. like for like and there is a significant different in cost between 

4ppl, 14 Dec, Icon of the Seas - same promotion

1. Booking on the Australian Website - $16,653

  VS

2. Booking on the USA website (incl prepay gratuities) - $7,432.24 USD / 10,734 AUD

Why is the difference so much higher in Australia?  

Even if the credit card company charges an fee for the FX exchange, its no where near the difference $5,919

Has any Australians booked on the US website?  I have managed to get to the end of the booking process, just before the CC is to be entered.  I had to choose a Canadian state.  however I was able to enter our residency as Australia i.e. will match the passport.  

I don't know about you guys, but I feel we are ripped off in Australia. I would understand if there was an office in Australia and the extra costs was due to the overheads of running the office in Australia, but this isn't the case, the footprint in Australia is almost zero.  All calls are answered by an offshore team.

Has anyone cruised from Brisbane on the Quantum?  Whats the dining like? 

I've read that the Quantum of the Seas is an Asian themed menu and entertainment ship.

Try for the furthest aft boardwalk balcony for the best view of diving and of the aft. This is oasis, I will take a picture on allure as I booked the very end boardwalk balcony.,

 

Idk which is best port or starboard, someone here will have a opinion. 

 

what a great view

Is it better to be on a higher or lower level?

We would like to do 2 Caribbean cruises

Hi

does anyone know what is on the kids menus? I have fussy eaters...

were thinking of the NYE cruise ..  is there anything different happening on these cruises 

Are the 1c balcony room squishy for 4 ppl? 

Seriously, why pick on the kids for this? If you expect to use public pool facilities on a ship with several thousand people, and don't think somebody isn't taking a leak in the pool, I have a wonderful can't lose investment opportunity for you.

I couldn't agree more...

Hasn't anyone ever noticed that all those adults drinking cocktails around the pools and spas, don't visit the bathrooms for hours and hours!

Can the 12 month old not just wade in the really shallow part, i.e. not swimming?

Are 12 month old babies allowed to splash around in the kids pool zone on the Radiance of the Seas?

How many hours will they allow you for the Nursery on a 14 night cruise? I read somewhere it was 2 hrs per day?

I'm hoping to take my 14 month old on the 14 night cruise to South Pacific and Tonga, has anyone done this cruise with an infant? Any cruise day tours you would recommend?

Has anyone seen 12 month old babies in the Kids pools on the Radiance of the Seas RCL

Hi

Ultimate dining

Does princes have breakfast and lunch in the dining room?

Does princess do a high tea?

Or a chocolate buffet like HAL?

Is there a poolside grill?

Hi

My boyfriend and I are thinking of taking the 20 night eastern/southern Caribbean cruise in December on the Royal Princess.

Does any know the differences between the Celebrity 14 night cruise vs the 20 night cruise?

Mainly interested in the dining and port excursion differences...

Any advice will be appreciated.
