Thank you - so the pricing on the app should include the 18% - they modify the prices to suit Aussie pricing? Cruising for 18 days with lots sea days - could get very expensive for us. Drinks package will be $2095 per person. Trying to calculate average for 2 of us.

No doubt this has been asked previously. Can someone who had been in QOS advise if the prices in the drinks menu in the Royal app are in USD or AUD? Thinking they are USD. Call Centre operator was not helpful. So if wine is listed $12.00 glass you add 18% gratuity and then covert to AUD you actually pay $21.85 per glass. Are my assumptions/calculations correct. We are on QOS Honolulu to Brisbane in Oct.

For those travelling to Australia on the transpacific - link to Aus Govt current requirements. https://www.health.gov.au/topics/covid-19/travel

Thank you so much for the info and still researching tours in FP. we blew the budget and all upgraded to balcony cabins. So excited!

Thanks again Bec. Hubby keen but I have been worried about getting back on ski. I have OA in knees……pretty sure this trip is not for me either. But in saying that can you bring ski closer to shore into shallow water/ beach and get back on? Overall how did you find the multiple sea days. Have been on 12 day cruises but with more ports of call. We are in a group of 6 so will have company for cards, games etc. We have booked interior although will bid for Royal up, hoping for balcony. Did you spend much time on the balcony? Hubby says nothing to see but water - but i would like the fresh air.

Thank you for such great info. Re the jet ski - did it have a flip down ladder for getting back on? What was it about the jet skiing that you didn’t like?

We will be on the QOTS boarding in Honolulu, 18 days (repositioning) to Brisbane via French Polynesia - Tahiti, Moorea, Raiatea and Port Vila. Would anyone who has done this trip in reverse in April able to answer the following: 1. Was there a limit on passengers able to disembark in any port in FP? 2. Were passengers who booked shore tours through RCI given priority to disembark? 3. Did anyone book third party tours in FP - specifically JetSki/snorkeling tours. thank you in advance.
