Conversion rates on VV for non USA people

[Geebeeau]

This is a question for non USA people. I am pre cruise and have been looking at the cost in Australian Dollars for the $300USD bar tab add on. In comparing with another passenger for a re-positioning cruise in April, one of us sees $445AUD and the other $430AUD. Does the conversion that gets applied differ depending on the cruise fare paid? Any other thoughts as to why it is different (these are taken same day, so it is not because of changes in conversion rates)?

I also have an upcoming Australian cruise next month and for the bar tab, I see $485. I am not sure if Australian GST plays a role in this difference or whether because I paid a highly discounted cruise fare whether this impacts it.

It’s showing 485 aud for me as well, no explanation, it has nothing to do with GST.

I'm also cruising out of Melbourne next month and originally only saw the US$300/AU$485 bar tab option. As a side note - upon checking the app today, I noticed that there are now two other bar tab options. They are US$100/AU$165 (with a US$10 bonus) and US$200/AU$325 (with US$20 bonus) which will definitely suit us better than the AU$485 one.

Yes, i signed up for one of the $100usd ones this afternoon. Its a bit harder to spend a $300usd on a 4 day cruise.
