Thankyou TAW1963 🙂

If you pre-purchase the thermal spa, are you charged the 18% gratuity?

Is this only applicable to American customers? I cant find any reference to a $1 deposit sale on the Australian site? 😞

If you are looking for a specific cabin/location on a cruise and the website shows that is unavailable, are you able to go on a waitlist? Is this a "thing"? Or is it a case of "you snooze you lose"? 😁

Terrific and helpful review. Thank you 🙂

Is the price of the package per person or per cabin? 🙂

I checked our account for a cruise next year with the gratuities (also in Aus) and it does seem a better deal to prepay.

Brilliant replies! Will give us good discussion and some of the 'cons' are not things that bother us too much. Movement is ok, long walks are something we do to offset our increased eating patterns lol as well as never using elevators.... We are booked in an OV room currently on a cruise with many seadays and we do tend to spend time in our room. There is much appeal with the balcony, but the increased price would have a fair impact on other aspects of our holiday and must be considered. But it is also a year away and I am a motivated saver of funds LOL We did have a balcony on our first cruise in Alaska on the Zandaam and did not use it much at all but that was quite a while ago and we do things differently now and it is worth reconsidering. Thank you all for your help with your experiences, much appreciated 🙂

I have seen fabulous photos of the vista behind the ship and it looks rather up our alley. But is it worth booking that particular room? Best deck? We are good sailors so not worried so much about the movement. 😃

We take a collage of photos of our goats for the door. Sure, it helps give an instant visual of where the room is (lazy perhaps) but its fun. It has also stimulated conversation and social activity which we enjoy. I love seeing how much effort and forethought people can put into a door but do admit that balloons scare me somewhat (phobia) ..... 😁
