Aussie Jeep

Hi all,

I have been reading on CC for awhile as we have booked a cruise on Liberty in June having previously sailed on Radiance in Feb 2014.

I was hoping to share some info - and find out from other Australian cruisers if they have experienced the same. I was reading on a thread about the falling dollar in Canada and the Canadian experience of buying OBC at a better exchange rate through RCI. I rang RC Australia yesterday and enquired about the exchange rate if I bought OBC for our upcoming cruise. The info I received (which I was highly skeptical of) was the the exchange was 1:1. I asked in several different ways and kept being told if I purchased $800 (and it cost me AUD$800) I would receive US$800 in OBC. I went ahead and did it and rang back later to check and was told my reservation shows $800 OBC in US$. Has any other Australian cruiser had a similar experience?

Thanks :)

Called back after booking mine and told that I have usd equivalent of the aussie $amount that I purchased. Sure wish I could see this on my booking.

Ok. I bought AUD 1500 today and they have assured me that it will show as USD1500 on my OBC and I can withdraw this as cash if I choose

A great deal if it works.

How do I add OBC to my account before the cruise?

Great info. I booked through a Travel Agent and when I call to ask questions RCL defer me back to the TA. Did you just call the number listed? or is there another number Thanks

Hi there, thanks for the review. Any chance of you posting the dailies. Thanks

Thanks for the review. How was the noise on your Balcony? I am on deck 10 just above where you were on the opposite side in about 7 weeks.

God, I hate posts like this .... just do your research, do some googling, put your big girl pants on and take a chance.

 

Seriously ?? How bad or boring do you really think a huge beautiful ship like Liberty would be ?? Youre not going from Oasis to the Bahamas Celebration, for gods sake. :rolleyes:

 

I'm Rude? OK.

Yes you are. the whole idea of a site like this is so people can feel comfortable asking any questions they want about cruising. When you belittle someone like the way you do it stops them from asking further questions.

Hi Joel Log onto your NCL site and select Vacation Summary. Then go toward the bottom of the page and you will see 'Prepay Gratuities' Select this and then you can prepay from there. Have a great Cruise

Thanks for the info, I have three cruises coming up so will photo Set Sail Pass and check a day or so into each cruise.

Where or how do you get the coupons that provide the discount?

I have booked with AVIS They have a shuttle at the port

Doing this cruise. 2nd part of a B2b. Anyone got anything planned?

We are sailing Jan 1/17/15 and 1/24/15 in different grand suites. How do we go about moving our clothes on the turn around day? Who should we ask for advice once we are on board? With no Concierge Lounge is there a Concierge to consult with or do we speak to our stateroom attendant? Or Guest services? And, how do we obtain a new Sea Pass card? We did a B2B in the distant past but assume things have changed since then (I.e., leaving the ship and going thru customs, etc.) Thank you for any input.

Hi there, how did the B2B process go?

Hello, does anyone know if you can put your own USB stick with movies or tv shows on it in the treadmills on the Oasis? Thanks

Is anyone aware of a program or web site that can match cruises so that you can put several different cruises together to either accomplish a world cruise or a circumnavigation of South America. Thanks

Can you tell us how many 'laundry bag' days they offered on this trip. Thanks

Haopy Birthday, Following.

Hello

 

I am due to travel on the Oasis back to back in March/April.

 

I am wondering if anyone knows after we have been taken off the ship and back through customs can we get back off the ship again and go into Ft Lauderdale for the day and come back on the ship then or do they not allow that in order to prevent us from getting mixed up with new passengers?

 

Thanks

Hi ZJC, from looking at your post we are on the same B2B cruise.

Enjoyed your review. Thank you

Thanks Rascaldog, that was what I was hoping could be done.

Hello CC's I have a booking on the Pearl which came with complimentary dinner for 2 at La Cucina and Cagneys. As I am travelling solo does that mean I would be able to go to each restaurant twice?? Has anyone encountered this?

Hello, what Steam Rooms or Saunas are on the Oasis of the Seas? Are there any that are free to use or do you need to join and pay the spa fee? Thanks in advance

Hi there, i have booked a B2B, why was it a nightmare in FLL?

Hello all, I have just booked a B2B on the Oasis of the Seas in a Central Park C2 Cabin. I cannot locate any pictures or information. Can anyone give me some details of these cabins. In particular Cabin 10653 Thanks
