We were looking at booking two rooms

Triple with

Dad

Child (14)

Child (3)

Double

Mum

Child (12)

Only saved $150 for the three year old

Gahh

Just a bit if a rant, I want to take my family of five on a cruise, but it's just so expensive.

How can my children aged 12 & 14 be classed as adults?

I also have a 3 year old.

I wish they would give a discount on the adult prices for children.

Say an adult price is $1000

I think a child should be $600- $700

I don't know how they can class teenagers as adults. They are children!

Rant over.

Novovirus seems to be on most cruises that I read about in the past few weeks.

Seriously making me worried.

And I'm becoming very anxious about my cruise in feb

Thankyou

I think I will just keep my bags :-)

Can you self disembark at a later time?

I would rather not leave my bags out at all, I am going on rhapsody in feb.

I'm an Aussie, we get on the ship at Sydney, and also end the cruise in sydney, only sailing in Aussie waters.

What would be the latest time we can get off the ship? We only love about a two your drive from the port. And will not be in a hurry to get home.

I am wanting to know what it is really like onboard.

Movement of the ship, especially at night when trying to sleep.

How rough does the sea have to be, to notice the movement when walking around the decks.

I am going on rhapsody (incase size really does matter in this case)

How many of you have suffered sea sickness, if you did suffer sea sickness, was it rough seas?

They'll have both outlets.

Fabulous! Thank you so much

This is what our power points look like

In Australia

This is what our plugs look like in Australia

Okay, if you are from Oz, then the adapters you have will work (if the back side is the Australian two angled flat prongs and one round prong) in the US 110v outlets, BUT ONLY FOR ELECTRONICS. Do not plug hair dryers, etc into the US style outlets, unless you have a voltage converter as well as the adapter. Your better bet would be to get an adapter from Australian standard to the European round pin, as this would mean you wouldn't need a voltage converter. Be advised that things that have a motor, like a hair dryer, will run a little faster on the 60Hz power as opposed to your 50Hz at home.

I am only taking my GHD and Iphone charger. Should I also get the European adapter?

I am so confused, could anyone link me to the European adapter on eBay?

If it's not to much trouble and you know what I need? Pretty please!

You should be OK as long as the front part of the plug you pictured will fit your Aussie plugs.

Yes the front part fits our Aussie plugs.

That wasn't the issue. My friends who have cruised before on another RCCL ship said that the plugs on board were three holes beside each other like in the 1st pic that "Weislaw" posted.

I need to know if the ship has this outlet;

Not this outlet

Yes. They'll work in the US style 110V outlets. If you live in Australia, disregard everything about the European outlets; if memory serves, you have your own unique style...

Lolz, we have our own unique style?

We Aussies are for sure unique :-)

Correct, what we really need to know is where you are from, and what you intend to plug into the adapters, the pictures shown look like just an outlet adapter, not a converter, so you will still be getting only 110v out of the socket.

I am an Aussie, I only need 110v

My ghd and iphone chargers are both 110v

Hi, it has been many years since I was no Rhapsody ..... but the outlets should look the same as these in the pictures below:

The 2nd pic will fit my adapters. But not the 1st pic, will I have both types in my cabbin?

I am from Australia.

Going on the rhapsody leaving from sydney.

I only need 110 volts

Because I will only be using it for my

All important GHD hair straightener :-)

And also my iphone. They are both 110.

On the other side it fits my Aussie plug into it.

My friends said that the adapter won't plug into the power point on the ship.

But when I phoned RCCL, before I purchased them, they told me the ship uses 110 volts or watts lol not sure which? And that they are North American plugs.

So that's what I thought these were?

So my adapters won't work?

Will this power adapter plug into the sockets on rhapsody?

I purchased it being told it's a North American plug, but my friend is saying it is not the right one. Can anyone clarify please?

Wow thanks so much, that's really good ideas.

I'm not taking our kiddies with us. We are cruising with 4 friends. We are Aussies but have not really left nsw. Only to the Gold Coast once.

So traveling is very new to us. I will pass on all your ideas to my friends.

Thanks so much

On our last cruise there was a special the first couple of days on the ship that was the same price we had paid in advance. After that it went up a little. Not sure if it the same on all ships all the time.

Do you happen to know the prices for rhapsody for a 10 night cruise

Not all 2016 cruises are available, but the Freedom, Oasis, Allure, Serenade and Grandeur are available now. All Caribbean sailings.

 

 

 

 

 

Once we sailed in #1100 earlier this month, we became addicted to it.

 

 

 

Good to know there are a lot of other members in the club!!!

We are already booked for feb 2015

But really want to book for feb 2016

Also. Does anyone know when those cruises will be released for Aussie cruisers?

I have also wanted to book for 2016 but I can't see any dates released yet for cruising within Australia. Where are you all finding the 2016 cruise dates?

You get your disk the last night regardless of whether you purchase in advance or on the ship.

Thanks for that info, do you have any other info?

Is it cheaper to buy from the website or on the ship?

Loved all the pics

THANKYOU for the review, I really enjoyed it

If you are departing on 7 Feb on Rhapsody then I will be joining you. I'm still to even think about the shore tours having a couple of other trips to organise between now and then.

 

 

 

If you go to the ship's Roll Call then you'll find others that are also taking that cruise so perhaps you could ask the question there!

 

 

 

Best wishes!

Hi gae,

Yes I already joined the rollcall, and I have seen your posts on there.

I have posted some questions on the rollcall but it seems like it's not very active just yet.

See you onboard :-)

I'm cruising in feb 2015

Stopping at ;

Hobart

Bernie

Melbourne

Adelaide

Sydney

Being a Novocastrian, I know what I want to do and see in sydney, but I have no idea about the other cities.

Has anyone been there, that could suggest some ideas for me?

Can anyone tell me what would be good to do in Melbourne in feb 2015?
