Plunked, we are interested in Stanley too and believe we are on same ship with you. We were just going to walk up the hill to town and see if we could find a local to take us around until I saw this thread.

Ok slight change to my post above. I noticed on my confirmation email that they charged me for basic soda instead of soda and more. When she credited me and redid the soda pkg it came out as a 10% exchange. So everything was at 10% EXCEPT the beer pkg which was at par.

First time cruiser and am I ever glad I found this thread. I looked at my booking summary and it listed pre pay gratuities as $88.50 online. Listed beer pkg as $28.46, the soda and more pkg is listed as $8.05 per day. So on my personalizer it appears my prices are in Cdn with the 10% already added. I was ok with that and called Princess to prepay. Princess then said my beer pkg was $25.58 CDN and Soda Pkg and more was $5.70 CDN day. I put a couple hundered OBC on and that was charged at $110.00 CDN for $100. So basically I got my beer and soda at par and 10% for gratuities and OBC. I also paid my gratuities as gratuities, didn't have to hide it as OBC. The gratuities were charged as CDN also. She said my bill was $502 CDN and I instantly see it on my visa online as a pending authorized transaction for $502, exactly as she said. So boils down to paid at par for soda, beer and 10% exchange for gratuities and OBC
