Yes I thought so, it's a new part of Asia for us so I'm looking forward to China & S. Korea.

Hi tmbhl, don’t remember who, but it was one of the Aus Cruise specialists, and they were offering Flights from Aus to Shanghai, overnights accommodation Crowne Plaza Shanghai, 8 day / 7 night Cruise on Rhapsody of the Sea, called Pearls of the Orient, for $2888 inc Tax's, twin share, for an Outside Stateroom with window / porthole Cat “I”.:)

 

That is a very good price, don’t know that Star will do better for you, given the Ports of Call!

 

Regards, Bruce

I booked the above Pearls of the Orient for 23rd April 08 form Shanghai, cat F outside for 2 adults & 2 kids $2550 US$ approx $3000 AUD total. When I booked it with RCI's agent in Sydney it was $500US more, I noticed the drop in price, 3rd & 4th person pay taxes only and e mailed the agent who passed on the price drop by return e mail. I haven't booked flights yet as I want to see Beijing with a stop in Hong Kong also. We've cruised on the Virgo a beautiful ship, it came into our home town port during the SARS trouble in Asia and I was hooked. We've cruised the Mallaca straits and Singapore up to Bangkok so the Raphsody cruise will take us a bit further afield. There are quite a few ships in Asia during the next few years a bit of research will turn up the bargains.

Auto wage subsidy calculator so that you do not have to use up valuable cruise time calculating the labour tax. :p

 

Cheers,

I have carried a tiny calculator with me for years, it is great doing any currency conversions, nowadays if I am buying something I barter the price with the seller on the calculator, I put in my figure then they counter with another figure, it's entertaining.

Hey AuzzieCruiser

Where in N. Ireland was your family from? I'm from Belfast, not a 10 pound pom, came out 9 years ago.
