Who has been cruising?
We are totaly addicted to the only way to enjoy a great holiday.We have done 6 cruises and can not get enough of them.Unfortunately we have to go to work in between.I can honestly say that the cruise ships of today are more like floating resorts and the customer service is the best that we have come across be it with P&O or the Princess lines.Having said that we have also,in between, taken lots of road trips and planes ones too in Aust and there are so many beautiful places here.But for the ultimate, go cruising.

We're just back from a P&O "Short Break" (weekend) cruise. I wouldn't recommend cruising to anyone that gets bored easily. I went as she whom demands obeyance wanted to go on on. Happily she found it boring enough that she won't want to go again.

If you do opt to go P&O (or other Carnival Cruises based ones), check your card statement carefully. I saw AUD through the booking process & on the payment page - and was then charged in USD resulting in extra fees. It has been a battle getting the extra fees back from them. P&O blame the bank, but if the page is coded to charge USD, that's how it is charged. They can't balme the bank for that.

P&O also decide that you will make a payment to one of their charities & you have to opt out of making that 'donation' - if you find out about it. The charge is just added to your room bill.

Help Caféstudy members by responding to their questions, or ask your own in Café Chat, and you will get the chance of earning extra rewards. Caféstudy will match these and donate equally to our two chosen Australian charities.

Food Bank Australia not only plays a lead role in fighting hunger, but also a vitally important role in tackling Australia’s $20 billion food waste problem and helping the environment.

Australian Marine Conservation Society are an independent charity, staffed by a committed group of scientists, educators and passionate advocates who have defended Australia’s oceans for over 50 years.

ReachOut is the most accessed online mental health service for young people and their parents in Australia. Their trusted self-help information, peer-support program and referral tools save lives by helping young people be well and stay well. The information they offer parents makes it easier for them to help their teenagers, too.
