I can understand what you mean. I have just been pricing a 7 day Alaskan cruise from here in Australia on HAL. If I book through an online TA in the USA, the fare is US$ 2377. Booking through the HAL website, which automatically defaults to an Australian $ price structure as soon as it recognises the online enquiry as coming from Australia, the fare is A$4500 - ie about US$4200 or 77% higher than the US price - for the exact same cabin, same ship and same voyage!!!! I would really be interested to know how such a price differential can be justified!

Thanks you guys for all your comment.

Yah. I second that motion. Atleast cruise line should have a fix international price other than price offer in Home base of cruise line companies.

Or as commented by Thinfool. We dont have much an option but shop around and look for a bargain.

You know, really I was planning to book on US website but I fear that by the time you check in. You would be denied boarding. You dont want to spoil your vacation just because you made mistake on booking on a wrong website.

Hello Folks,

I'd like to ask why Cruise Prices are different by Region or Nationality?

I have now big interest in cruising. Now, I always think or consider crusing with my family during my annual vacation.

I notice prices are best offered when you are a resident in North America. I am from Asia residing in Middle east.

We experience cruising with RCL Liberty of the Seas in the mediterenean last Oct 2013. I would like to plan this year or early next year to cruise.

Getting the best price is good. You can use your saving on board activities or shore trips.

As long I will be eligible for savings, discounts, or best prices. I'd would like to avail it.

Thank you guys in advance for advise and travel tips. :)

Just an update. I'm a foody person also.

I recently cruise on RCL Liberty of the Seas. My comments on food:

WJC Buffet - Breakfast is fine.

Lunch & Dinner. There are times good and there are times a little below average. As everybody says, as day pass the taste of food starts to be bland. No fresh grill or stir fries. So on the 5th & 6th day. We ate our lunch outside the ship.

MDR - Starters, soups, & dessert are good or above average but Main entree. Honestly, it's below average. Specially on steaks. Lobster is for a fee $30. I think that why they offer Chops grill.

From the reviews of others. It seems CCL is better. although I've not cruise with CCL. From the reviews and videos I've seen. I will try to cruise with CCL.

RCL offers many activities all day. Somestimes, it hard to choose which one.:)
