Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. While I have bought several gift cards to use toward final payment, I have no intention of using the gift cards for OBC unless I can confirm that they use the actual exchange rate. While I'm not happy about the 1:1 exchange rate on the OBC that I already have, I did not pay out of pocket for it so I am not going to make a big deal about it.
  2. Our next cruise is Australia/New Zealand on the Majestic Princess and all onboard charges are in Australian dollars. The OBC I have from a booking promo, TA promo and FCC have all been applied at a 1:1 US dollar to Australian dollar rate. While I find it annoying that they do not convert US dollars to Australian dollars and give me the higher amount, I'm not too concerned since I didn't actually pay out of pocket for any of these OBCs. Does anyone know whether they would do the same if I were to use a gift card and apply it for OBC, or would they use the actual exchange rate and give me a higher amount in Australian dollars? It wouldn't be worth it if they apply the OBC at a 1:1 ratio.
  3. I could not get it to work on my laptop yesterday (it would not let me get past the home page for the AARP Rewards), but I could find them on my Ipad. I didn't buy them at the time because I wanted to confirm with my TA that she can apply them to my final payment. Today I was able to get the Rewards page to work on my laptop and have ordered 3 gift certificates. Since final payment isn't due until December I am spacing out my gift card purchases. One other question though - our next cruise is Australia/New Zealand on the Majestic Princess and all onboard charges are in Australian dollars. The OBC I have from a booking promo, TA promo and FCC have all been applied at a 1:1 US dollar to Australian dollar rate. Does anyone know whether they would do the same with a gift card, or would they use the actual exchange rate and give me a higher amount in Australian dollars?
  4. Despite the fact that I have joined AARP Rewards and am signed in, I cannot get past the initial page
  5. I have searched the AARP website and cannot find where to buy the gift cards. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
  6. I recently booked the Majestic Princess sailing on March 1, 2024 and got the same message from Princess. I just checked the Australian government's website and this is what is says: From this date, you do not need to provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test to meet Australia's travel requirements. Some countries, airlines and vessel operators may require a pre-departure test result at check-in before you can board your flight or ship. Check the entry requirements of the country you are travelling or transiting through, and your airline or vessel operator’s requirements.
