Thanks....I just didn't want to get a nasty surprise later @ 18% of the cost!!!

Definitely bought on the AU site in AUD...

Can anyone tell me, if you buy a drinks package from the website, before you sail, whether the price you pay includes the gratuities?

If you go to the sky scanner website you can set an alert for the flights you want and you will get an email when the prices change...

We went on Allure of the Seas from Barcelona for 7 nights....loved it!

Thanks for your responses everyone...

Is there anywhere I can see the fineprint booking rules for australian customers before booking?

I am planning a cruise later this year on Voyager but before I book I would like your views on what the outcome of this situation would be:

I am planning to book a Family Oceanview for 5 people (us and our three kids) - but my husband is not sure if he will be able to get holiday leave from his job yet. If he could not go, I would like to take my parents (i.e. swap one adult for a different two adults).

How will this work? Should I book for 6 (incl one of my parents) now and cancel one of my parents (if my husband can go) or book for 5 and try to change it from 5 passengers to 6 later (if my husband can't come). Would there be much extra cost of adding passengers later? Would there be a time cut off for the change?:confused:

Thanks fellow CC'ers in anticipation of your help.

I booked a 2br family suite on Epic in October....it was a fair bit cheaper than the same intinerary and the waterslides etc were appealing to the kids...not sure what a concierge does, but that was thrown in and a pool for suite guests...I did notice that the balcony was only just big enough for two chairs...

However the Epic cruise was cancelled in March due to extended dry dock so now we are booked on Allure with a massive balcony so I guess I won't be able to say whether the Epic was better or not...

Thanks Rob!

We are on Allure (Med) in October and the Rugby World Cup is on in England throughout September & October.

What are the chances that we will be able to see any of the matches onboard?

I had the same happen this week on NCL...they had moved me to a different sailing and gave me $50 OBC on a suite!!!....the new date was completely impossible so no point trying to negotiate up on OBC so I cancelled for Allure same dates and itinerary but cost me +++ more $$$...sooo stressful...I hope you find the answers and it works out for you...

Thanks for your feedback!!!:)

Thanks.

Have fun!!

We are on Epic next October...I would be interested in what weather you get (warm enough for the kids to swim?) and whether you notice much movement up so high and forward...

Long time until we sail...but very excited!

Thanks for the review...following keenly!!!
