EssG Posted November 28, 2017 #8 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Booked August 2017 for April 2018 ...Booked Bella Experience as there is NO OBC for Australian bookings (regardless of Experience chosen) and the only Experiences that include any Drinks what so ever is Aurea, which is more than $2300 per person extra ....The extra inclusions for Fantastica Experience, but not Bella, is room service, kid's being able to attend activities and 50% off fitness classes (none of which I have any use for) and that is around $200 per person more...We got a cabin mid ship Deck 10 which is perfect for me as I get seasick, so cant be to high up or aft/stern as there is to much movement in the cabin. We will use the money we saved to pay for what we actually would use onboard the ship. http://https://www.msccruises.com.au/en-au/Plan-Book/Cruise-Detail.aspx?cruiseid=SE20180421MIAMI1&pid=SES18AUSM0709 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL...yea you are absolutly right sverigecruiser,.....The YC is not my style of doing thing though, so I didnt even consider it ( I'm a no shoes, on the beach, chat to the locals, cant stand being waited on typa person) and at nearly double the price per person would be a total waste of money on me ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LMaxwell Posted November 29, 2017 #24 Share Posted November 29, 2017 (edited) Booked in May 2017 for December 2018; 2 adults and kid in Balcony. $100 OBC. Bella Balcony. No drinks included. $1720. Whenever I have repriced with any other promo (internet, mealtime drinks, etc...) it seems to come out around $2200 (kids free not getting applied, it keeps charging me a discounted 3rd person rate) so I'll stick with my original booking. Deposit was only $99 per adult as well. Edit: My taxes are absurdly low at $43 per person as well. That's a head scratcher. Now if I rebook same cruise it is $135 per person. Are they obligated to honor what is on the invoice I already have deposit on? Edited November 29, 2017 by LMaxwell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
