We are currently booked on our 2nd ever cruise. 22 Days Shanghai to Sydney on the Majestic Princess in 12 months time in a Club Mini Suite.
The problem I have is if I purchase the AIBP for 2 of us it will be AU$76.70per person, per day through the onboard reservations which is total of AU$3,374.82
The thing is if you go into the Princess website it says US$57.45 per person per day which under the current exchange rate is AU$73.44 per person per day.
Also on this cruise all onboard charges will be in Australian Dollars. So its not even dependent on the exchange rate as such and its set at AU$76.70
Now it also says on the Australian website in the beverages section:
Please note product offerings and prices may vary on the following ships:
Sea and Sun Princess - All voyages
Diamond, Emerald, and Golden Princess - Voyages departing from and returning to Australia and New Zealand will be $59.00 AUD per person per day.
So I'm really confused and if we were able to get the Sip & Sail promotion it would solve all my problems and a lot of money, or why we cant be paying the Aussie rate as we are sailing to an Aussie port using Australian Dollars.
The Following week after we disembark when it's sailing to and from Australian ports it will probably revert to AU$59 per person per day.
Why cant Australians get the Princess 'Sip & Sail' promotion.
