Looks like there will be no lack of choices for those seeking a cruise holiday "bargain" this season.
Some interesting figures in that article.
It is a shame that they line up to rake in our $AU but do so little to accomodate our standards…
onboard currency remains us$ with a conversion rate rip off where possible.
us power outlets.
no access to us style market discounting and bonuses.
us style cuisine (yumm… catfish!!)
us style "tipping" while paying service staff pauper wages.
If an Australian product was dished up to us patrons in this manner there would be phone calls to Mr O !!
:-)
Anyway, with more ships we may see more good deals? even if we will be short served in the meantime.
