What has happened to this newsgroup?

Slander, vituperation, pettiness, obscenity - what a poor sad bunch
some of you are. I fervently hope I NEVER meet any of them on a cruise.

the time.

A major disappointment was missing out on...

Direct booking with Princess

I
think AUD 10K for a 42 night cruise with 23 sea days is not exactly
inexpensive and AUD 250 OBC would be peanuts. How much better is the TA's
price?

That *is* the TA's price and it's the...

Direct booking with Princess


Is that the 42 night Asia+Pacific cruise?

Yes

Insides shouldn't sell for AUD 3000 pp.

It's an oceanview, Cat D, forward, (with the big window)

Why should they give up on you?

Is there any difference in price making a future booking while on
board than making it through the website? I'm a platinum member.

Princess Cruise shipboard account question

Lucky you! Alas, here in Australia no refund is offered and if there
is an unfavourable currency fluctuation, we pay extra - if it's
favourable, the cruise line doesn't have to give credit!

Gratuities - RCI

We're cruising in March aboard Rhapsody of the Seas, Perth/Sydney.
According to our TA, onboard gratuities are included, although RCI's
website suggests otherwise. Curious.
