in the documentation we got the tipping is automatic. 4.50 is taken from your cashcard account everyday.
And where abouts do we get these patches from?

does the patch work after youve already been sea sick or do u have to put it on before you get sick for it to work?pungpui said:
on Star Princess earlier this yr, I went wit my family (4 ppl) for 14 nights round Aust and New Zealand...P&O is the parent company of Princess Cruises (Star Princess), and they charged automatic $US10 a day per passenger...$US10 X 4ppl X 14 nights = $US560...nearly $AUD1000 for tips!!!
What i found out was you can go to the purses desk and ask them to cancel the automatic charge on the afternoon you embark...should be able to...say that you wanna give tips yourself (bullshit!)...much better and saves you money for booze...
In regards to the patch, i hadnt actually heard of it till I was actually on a ship, and when i go cruising i only buy it onboard...cant b bothered on land...so im not sure if they sell it @ the chemist or anything...u can always ask...reminder...anything you buy from the ships medical facility is much more expensive on land and they dont have everything...dont buy medical stuff from south pacific island...too dodgy...avoid it.
The patch pretty much prevents you from getting sea sick, but if your already sea sick, it helps ease motion sickness...so put it on whenever...wat i did was not even bother bout em till i get sick...then buy em. In Caribbean its really calm...much bigger and newer ships there...didnt need it...but pacific sun size in the south pacific...u may need it!
Since its an Aust ship the legal age is 18...on a US based ship legal age is 21...so i dont have experience in trying to get into clubs coz i'm nowhere near 21...but apparantly if ur sneaky enuf...get a fake ID...lol...its not like there r bouncers there! Pyjarma Party is usually at the back on deck anyway...in a public space...on pacific sky theres a pool there, so they drain the water @ nite, plug it up with boards and it just becomes more floor space for partying!

oh dayem so u cant go for a midnight swimpungpui said:
nah i've only been on one other cruise and they drained all the pools at night....think cause its something to do with the law.......you'll notice during the day the pools don't look as calm as the brochures the water rocks around........i guess at night this is dangerous......expecially if eveyone is pissedSKA said:
I've noticed the nightclub on Pacific Sun is way toooooo small for our cruise.......it caters for a lowsy 150 people, which is probly fine on normal cruise.......i can't see them fitting 1900 of us in that room........my guess is that they'll have it out on deck in the middle pool,,,,,,,,or if not at the back where the bar is inside and outside...........if it rains,,,,,i dunno,,,,,,
not on pacific sky you cant...i assume pacific sun u cant as well...SKA said:
c the number of pools plays a part and the size of the ship and its target market... for people who are young and wanna yahoo down the corridoors pissed, pools arent safe...bcoz there is no space and there arent enough attendants they close the pools...the south pacific is bloody freezing at nite anyway!
on Star Princess, there are 5 pools, 1 with retractable dome that is closed 24/7 and kept to good temp...and the target market is older grannies who sleep or watch the shows @ nite...there is so much deckspace and large bars anyway...so pools remain open. most people on Star Princess are retirees...and since we were cruising in Australian waters its got nothing to do with regulations...
when the ship rolls and rocks, your in for a rough ride in the pools...even looking at em makes u feel kinda sick...but still lots of fun...tad bit dangerous though...
ppl get heaps involved.. their usually drunk as! \Italia said:
you will be suprised on the cross dress night... you'll be suprised that guys actually enjoy wearin chicks clothes, n havin their make up done by chiks! they love it!! admit it guys!
look:
i dunno about the gender bender night,,,,,,i can't c myself in chicks clothing,,,,then agian if i'm off my face who nos.......but i'm glade that people get involved with the theme nights as i will be.......i have the ultimate outfit for super hero night (pray to god they have tht night)....if not it is also suited for frieght night, but not aswell......tell u once we get back as i don't want anyone dressed the same
scratch off the 'M' on your cruise card which stands for minor. That way when security check ur card, they can't tell u're underage. Get ur mates to buy ur drinks on their card and pay them back.Rhi Kate said:
