Carnival conversion rate for Australian to US dollar and vice versa

[talie81]

Hello,

 

Not sure if anyone can help me. My husband and I just booked a cruise on carnival splendor 2022 out of Sydney cruising New Zealand. We have $1750 in casino credit and $600 obc in AUS currency.  Our carnival rep couldn't answer our questions. Is the casino in AUS currency? Is the whole ship in AUS currency? I am Canadian and don't want to convert my money into US and then get there and everything is in AUS. Our original carnival rep was let go and he was amazing and I am getting no help from my new rep. Please help!

Yes, a Carnival Splendor cruise out of Sydney will use AUS currency in the casino. The whole ship will operate with Australian currency. Please note that smoking is not allowed in the casino on these cruises. I am not sure if the craps table was removed from Splendor when she was Australianised, but craps is not a very well known game in Australia. When Legend sailed here 6 months a year the craps table was never open.

I can also confirm that Carnival uses AUD while in our waters.

If the conversion rate is less than 1.4, then I will force my agent to NOT give me any OBC, but give me the same amount as a discount on my Cruise fare instead. (cruise fare is in US$)

Are you going to hold her at gunpoint to force her ?

I managed to get a discount on my 2022 cruise fare, instead of OBC in AUD

I fear life is just one big discount....     but remember you get what you pay for....

 

At some stage   something has got to give... and everything becomes an extra

 

A room for the night Sir,,, not included  is bed linen, water usage, heating and cooling is by the hour,  no tea and coffee,  oh a chair that is extra like the butter.... but the room is only $99.......

This reminds me of the story dad use to tell about the price of  eye glasses

 

You would go into the Optometrist  and asked how much for your glasses , he would say $300  , if you didn't react.. he would say that's for the frames, and the lens will be $200, and if you didn't react, he would add for each lens.... ( circa 70's )

 

It was like when we got a dishwasher about 15 years ago, we wanted a white one... it was $300 more than a S/Steel one.. so we got the S/Steel one..
