Hi there we are booked on a Cruise out of Brisbane in November  Currently the Deluxe Drink package is $67- per day   From experience when is the best time to buy the drink package?  Does it get more expensive the closer the cruise date?  Thanks

Hi Aussie Jeep, this was a good question to ask as we were wondering the same thing.  Thanks also to SuitesRbest and Diego Da Monkey for their replies.  We are booked on Quantum of The Seas sailing from Brisbane on November 8 this year?  Which cruise are you going on?

Thank you so much Crew News and RuthC. I appreciate your replies. Sorry to barge in on your posts every-one but I couldn't find an answer elsewhere.

Happy cruising to all.

Thank you to every-one on here for the drinks information. I am still unsure though about taking bottled water and soft drinks on board. I note that some-one said you can but is there a restriction on how many bottles? I just want to be able to bring a couple of bottles of water and the same with soda water or tonic.

We are Aussies sailing on the Noordam from Sydney December 22. With the AUD so low against the USD at present it means we have to add on at least 1/3 of the price and then gratuities which we find really confusing as it is not an Aussie custom. Posting the link to the drinks prices on here is a huge help so thank you to those fellow cruisers.

Regards from Brisbane, Australia

This is one of celebrity's older ships. The reviews I've read are good, especially when it comes to service. We have good experiences of the older smaller HAL ships, so looking forward to this. Will post a review when we get back

I too look forward to hearing your review PaulnKarl. I have also read good reviews particularly about the food.

We used vacations to go - found them very helpful.

Thank you. I have just booked through VTG, and we are really looking forward to this cruise. Even though we have cruised before the idea of going on a Spanish ship is really exciting and different. I have been to Sweden 5 times and once to Rostock/Warnemude but have only dreamt of cruising the Norwegian fjords. Does any-one here know if a roll call/thread has started for the Zenith departing May 19, 2018? I haven't been able to find this cruise on CC. Thanks again every-one.

We live in Australia and are interested in a Pullmantur cruise on the Zenith to Norway in May 2018. It appears that no travel agencies here deal with Pullmantur. Our options are a US agency called Vacations To Go or perhaps the Pullmantur website that some-one here kindly mentioned. Can any-one advise us accordingly? Many thanks in advance.

Thanks Fletch1

Hi, Can any-one in Australia/NZ please tell me if there is a jug/kettle in the cabins on the Carnival Spirit? Thank you. :confused:

Thanks every-one, I appreciate your replies. According to my web browser I am on the Oz board and that is certainly what I logged into.

Hi all, can any-one please tell me if the balcony cabins on the Carnival Spirit have a kettle in them? :confused: Thank you

Unfortunately we missed out on a securing a cabin on QM2 cruise Valpraiso to Brisbane. :( We do appreciate all the advice and photos that have been posted in relation to the QM2. Maybe next time…..

Thank you Fletch, I appreciate the information.:)

Hi Fletch, i was wondering which cruise you might be talking about? We are looking at QM2 Valpraiso to Brisbane departing Feb 17 2016. We too are interested in the sheltered balconies and what experienced QM2 cruisers have to say about them. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :)
