Ill just go open a $5 bot of shiraz:eek::eek: $9000 quoted by Lonestar would be USD, add 25%, so around AU11250. Out of my league. But I have seen the 14 day Amsterdam -Budapest ones offered by Scenic/Apt for $7000 in the shoulder season, that is a waterline cabin, no balcony.

Pushka Posted August 24, 2016 #55 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Yes - the price in USD is the same in AUD that I freaked at earlier. I also understand why people were irate when the floods resulted in bus trips instead of the cruise with no reduction in price. Actually irate doesnt even come close. I could do 2 quality overseas trips for the price of this cruise alone. Plus a HUGE bottle of Shiraz. I do not see the value. Getaway did the cruise I want to do a couple of years ago and hooked me but I cannot justify the $. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Womble99 Posted August 24, 2016 #56 Share Posted August 24, 2016 We would love to do the Christmas markets (Paris to Budapest) one year but likewise the $$ will need to be saved for a while yet............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneStarCruisinCouple Posted August 24, 2016 Author #57 Share Posted August 24, 2016 G'Day One and All, You folks there are just simply so much fun. With the Row Boats and the Bottles of Shiraz. Speaking of which there is a restaurant we frequent and they have for us Sparkling Shiraz from Australia called Chook. Very good. Maybe different for us here but we find these prices very good. Maybe different as I lost my son back in 2004 to Cystic Fibrosis, so we have no children so just us and over the years of working money made is now time to travel and enjoy and see some of the things that are on our list before we get to the point of being too old to enjoy and see. Lisa is 61 and I'm 65. So still feel young and enjoy cruising with you Aussies and Kiwis on Scenic.. Howdy Mrs.& Mrs. and Uncle Les, and Mic and all you fun loving folks from Down Under. Right now myself came out to West Texas town called San Angelo where I grew up some of my younger years seeing old friends and going to a Beach Boys concert tonight.

LoneStarCruisinCouple Posted August 25, 2016 Author #65 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Thanks to all my Australian In-Laws and friends. I just returned this evening from attending a Beach Boys Concert in San Angelo Texas. I grew up as a young Boy here in this town and when my Grandparents came over from Melbourne all the folks in this town signed a petition that was at the time given to Governor John Conally and they were made Honorary Texas Citizens. I have roots here but still live in Sugar Land, just outside of Houston and soon I hope to be Upcountry Maui,Hawaii. Cheers and God Bless.
