Rare Kinkacruiser Posted November 27, 2015 #1 Share Posted November 27, 2015 The AIDP on my personaliser reads $73.75 /day (Sun Princess May 2016). Is this the price including GST? Can anyone enlighten me please? I've heard of figures in the $65 /day range for the Sea Princess in Jan 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennyg2610 Posted November 27, 2015 #2 Share Posted November 27, 2015 It's $59 a day if you buy it onboard. If you do it through your personaliser you will be charged the 15% tipping. Some people on fb have said that they get that refunded when they get onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUT2407 Posted November 27, 2015 #4 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Almost certain it was $59 on Diamond the other week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Kinkacruiser Posted November 27, 2015 Author #6 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Thanks Gut and Pushka. Perhaps it's best not to go by the personaliser price. Word of mouth is the best way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted November 27, 2015 #7 Share Posted November 27, 2015 In our Alaska cruise it shows as $70.74 AUD. 1. because it ads the 15% tip, 2. Exchange rate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pushka Posted November 27, 2015 #8 Share Posted November 27, 2015 1. because it ads the 15% tip, 2. Exchange rate Which thankfully is in our favour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted November 28, 2015 #9 Share Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) On AUD cruises it's $59 onboard so best to buy there. On USD cruises I think it's around US $56.35 including the gratuities which works out at AU $78-80 depending on where the exchange rate is that day. I've bought it at AU $61.99 for our Golden cruise to Hong Kong in April - at that price it worked out a dollar or so cheaper than buying the OBC (at the amazing 0.90 exchange rate offered by Princess) to buy the package onboard.

So definitely worth pre purchasing in my case - saves around $116. It is currently in my shopping basket and has been for weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is currently in my shopping basket and has been for weeks. It might be worth buying before the end of the year, Pushka, in case the AUD price goes up. I phoned Princess a month or so ago and was able to buy both OBC at the 0.90 rate and the drinks package and it just got added to my account to be paid before final payment date in January. I was quite surprised about that as I expected to have to pay for those extras immediately. I'd booked the cruise using a FCC, not sure if that makes any difference.
