I am hooked. #22...You fall asleep with imagery of you next embarkation. Every night!

No bottle water package available on Sea Princess Sydney 10 day March 14 2018. Guess it never did. Don't recall seeing it pre glitch. Consistently inconsistent or over site?

I know! Sending a hug your way. Let's keep this in perspective. During a busy period everyone must wait. Paying extra doesn't change time or build more tables. Seeing some rich guy put on a free show would be priceless thou. Never want to be that person. I know the OP did not make a scene. I know everyone in suites and CC are not rich and my have saved to be there. Understood you did not get what you were promised but 9 times out of 10 you do get what you pay for. Getting a pager is wine time. I believe everyone in the dinning area is trying to do the best they can. Hope I didn't upset anyone, but they are one blessed person to be in Club Class.

OMG. Thank you. What an amazing food adventure. Truly enjoyed your link!

No photo here but any waiter worth their salt will get what you want on that plate if it's on the ship. They learned our likes and brought it each time we requested. Hope you get some photos.

Has anyone seen the bottle wine package on Australia 10 day cruises. The Australia cruises seem to not have many features like pre Order water, unlimited internet packages and pre pay excursions in full to reserve.

Just a heads up. If you use half your time buffering they will restore minutes for you. We got to the point we only got online in the Internet area to appeal to the assistant how lousy their internet service is. Very poor service and inconvenient, but they were accommodating.

Plan A - order case water... Plan B - buy a premium bottle like Figi or diamond water and refill it... Plan C - pay full price for convience and purity. Plan D - bring a case onboard. Looks like on to plan B...hope you cruise you lose doesn't get a whole new meaning.

So... What drinks are free in HC and dinning rooms coffee,tea and water. Anything else.?

Absoutely! The anticipation and planning is a big part of the excitement for me. We always say we can't wait for the day we leave, talking about streamlining and lessons learned from our previous experiences. Then when the time finally gets here we slow down into cruise mode, knowing nothing can get better and you just go with the flow. No woulda coulda shoulda when I take the time in the planning, which for me is as much fun as the trip its self. My countdown clock is on my phone, 32 days to Sydney Australia then onto the Sea Princess for 10 days in a mini- suite. Um yeah I am a little excited.

It got us a walk in closet and champagne greeting in the room. (Swill) eak!! On the Sea Princess. Curtain between the living and sleeping and double balcony. No additional perks that suite folks get thou. The small additional cost reflects what you really get. It's all good!

This is all very interesting. I believe we are on the same cruise starting 3/14. My $100 OBC showed up as au $137. My excursions were in au paid in US dollars converted rate. My $600 self funded room credits were in US dollars on my credit card. I know one thing, when they hit my folio they better be in au dollars. Princess can't have it both ways. If we can figure this out I am confident Princess can seperate apples from oranges and all will be proper. It seem everything billed on the credit side should be in au and everything paid on the debit side will convert to us. The required prepaid evcursions were at the lower US dollar amount. Stay tuned, film at 11. LOL

Great information since on our last cruise folks had parked themselves at the tables. After our third attempt to cruise thru we went to our room. This was in the Horizon and most were done eating. Now we can try the MDR. Yeah!

was referring to the dentist. Not the shooting !!!!!

That is golden. Filling me with laughter. Denture just want to smile. Now that was funny. Thanks!!

Thanks very much. Thanksgiving and the holidays is a mile stone to get closer to our Australian cruise on the Sea Princess in March 2018.

Another way to look at it. We did London as a destination. While that far from home did Scandinavia, Baltic and Russia. Spouse could not have survived that without the nice at sea days.

Next one will be Australia were we will cover a lot of distance while eating a sleeping and seeing wonders like The Great Barrier Reef. Chance of a life time. We cruise when it fits our needs.

Let cruises work for you. Cruising the Hawaiian islands, to wake up at a different island each day an free food was a dream. We have gone thru a 15 year period were we wanted the spend a week in certain destinations without cruising. Now we loved a Med cruise to see so much without having to pack and unpack.

No not at all. It just adds to the excitement. You already rolled the dice let it ride. It's called guaranteed. Just like those that have a room assignment. You can't do anything until you get there. Stay cool moon doggy.

This maybe a holdover from the old days but the desk will give you a postage type "stamp" for your current cruise that is for a passport type book. Pretty neat along with our pins for each level.

Wow don't mess with people's rolls!! Any who. I always look for the peanut butter cookies. Takes me back to my childhood school days yum!

How wonderful!! Please know they can simplify the process by ordering onboard flower delivery or have the florist deliver to the ship. If that is at all possible.

Great information. Did not mention the zoo. Is it possible to do the zoo and dinner in manly via the ferry system. Thanks

We are staying in the rocks holiday inn and booked seafood buffet harbor tour.

I may be a light weight but can someone, anyone explain how a couple could drink $100.00 of liquior a day. Given time for sleep, morning hours and 6-8 hour excursions every day with no at sea days and maybe waiting until 10:00 in the moring to inbibe. If the drinks are expensive I guess possibly. How much does a wine or rail drink cost on Oceania? Please treat this as a serious question because I really want to know. Plus they seem to limit any better wines and more expensive drinks. Run the numbers for me. Thanks in advance???
