Aussie FF

Plenty of wineries.:)

Is there more than one pier in Mornington?

Walk straight up Main street. (Where I work).:)

When I paid for my cruise on 4th January, there was no fee.

My CBA MasterCard does not charge an International transaction fee either.:)

Thank you.

 

 

We've just added a cruise on her to our possible list for this Christmas.

 

We have done on X cruise and were very happy with it.

We are also looking to do this.:)

RCI are way overpriced ATM.:eek:

We are Diamond + going on our first Celebrity cruise.

I searched the benefits, and couldn't find how long the cocktail hour is.

I think I saw somewhere that it's shorter than RCI?

TIA

Just back from Legend.

Efren is the Diamond Concierge, and Christopher is in the Concierge Lounge.

Hi K&S.

Don't see myself in your photo.:)

Sea you in Feb.:D

S&A

They do have good party music all evening.:D

Nothing wrong with P&O, if you want to party.:eek:

Any ship with my clothes hanging in the wardrobe , cheers, Buzz.

X3

But for anyone under 50, RCI:D:D:D

We dined at the Captain's table last week on Voyager.

We believe it was to take the place of the Meal with an Officer, as there were only 16 Diamond Plus and 2 Pinnacle. Don't know how many of the D+ were over the 350 points required, but they did not hold a separate event, that we have had on every other cruise since we passed 350 points. (Or is that 340 points)?

I thought the speed was fine.

If you just want to e-mail to friends and family, to say you're having a good time, look for the FREE e-postcards option at the internet café.:)

On the Golden Princess recently, I took 2 bottles of my favourite wine.

I don't drink anything alcoholic before 5pm.

I drank the free supplied juices & water & coffee until 5pm.

I bought the Platinum/Elite $7 drinks between 5 & 6 pm.

I bought the happy hour BOGO $1 between 10-11pm in the nightclub.

They also had it between 3 & 4pm in the Wheelhouse.

The family we dined with had no problem sharing bottled water and bottles of wine. The waiter just poured it for both of the adults.

My Elite cruising buddy also allowed me to change the mini bar set up for a bottle of wine.

Thanks cruising buddy.:)

I have never bought a drinks package.

But I would buy this discounted, or voucher package.:D

I had a massage once on an RCI cruise. Complete rubbish.

Much better on the islands for about $10-$15.

Sometimes they will have a 10 minutes for $10-$20? on the pool deck.

I enjoy that one.

Sea you on board.:)

Disembarked yesterday.

Had a great cruise.

Still prefer RCI for a fun and partying cruise.:)

If you don't do shows and slow dancing music, it's very tame.

Did not like their drinks. And I tried many.:)

I was disappointed that the DOD was standard price.

I did have many happy hour cocktails that were $13.95, and still got the second one for $1, even though the Patter said they must be under $10.

Also prefer the night clubs on RCI. The DJ was horrible. (He was nice, but his music was techno crap, am I showing my age?).

Another vote for Key Lime Pie, as well as Warm Chocolate cake.

Used to love BBB (Baileys Banana Brulee), but as other have said it is now gelatinous, instead of custard.:(

Hey, I could provide a service here.

DH is dropping me off at Station Pier on 30th October.

He could do a pick up and drive to the airport in my station wagon if anyone is interested.:)

They would all be great cruises on great ships.

I've done Top of Australia on Radiance. Highly recommend it, to see some of Australia.:)

I am booked on Option 2.:D

My preference would be 4, 3, then equal 1 or 2.

Let us know what you choose.

Cheers.

If you are cruising in Australia, there is no smoking in any indoor venue, including the casino. As per the laws in Australia.

One of the reasons I love cruising at home.:D

Hi SueXXX.

That was answered in the Golden Princess review, San Francisco to Sydney thread.

$3 for wash or dry.

Sea you on board in 9 days.:D

Currently on the Legend, booked Radiance (balcony) 8 nights 31 January with Future Cruise desk for the great price of $1040 each with included Grats, $200 OBC and US$100 OBC for booking onboard. Very happy with this deal!

Marina

Congrats on the good deal.:)

We are on this cruise.:)

We paid $849 more than you, when we booked on board in January.

We have $400 OBC and $150 for booking on board.:D

Getting on board Golden Princess in 9 days.:)

Sea you on board.:D

Thanks for your review.

We board in 9 days.:D

Definitely double points for a PAID upgrade.

Not for a free upgrade.

We have had 2 free upgrades. Balcony to Junior Suite, no double points.

Junior Suite to RFS, as Hugh said, already double points.

I have done 5 self initiated paid upgrades to RFS.

But it is so much harder to do now. They make you cancel your original stateroom, and re-book.

Last time I just gave up.:mad::mad:

Guess I'll miss it.

I'll be getting off Voyager in the morning, and on the way home.:(
