402: This Week's Great Deals from ecruising.travel

Issue 402 | 3 July 2008

Hi Cruisers,

We have some great new packages this week which you'll find below including some great back to back's which are always popular. While the Aussie dollar is climbing against the USD and it went through .96 last night, I want to raise something with you. When you see on the TV, papers or websites the AUD - USD is say .96, that is a rate that is used by the banks however, this rate is not something you can walk into an exchange dealer and get. The rate you can buy, say USD $5000.00, will be much less than .96 and in fact this morning, you can buy it for .9429. The reason I'm telling you this is, some of our packages are based on USD and when we re-cost peoples files before final payment, we re-cost them on a rate we can buy the USD at on that day. We have people saying, "but we've seen it at .96". Yes you have, but we cannot buy it for that. Please be patient with your consultant and understand the above if you are in a similar situation.

Cruise from Sydney on Rhapsody of the Seas and return on Dawn Princess from only $5949 - the Ultimate Hawaii package! Your 40 night cruise holiday includes 16 nights from Sydney to Honolulu with Rhapsody of the Seas, departing on 13 April 2009 and cruising to the Cook Islands, French Polynesia and Maui before arriving in Honolulu. Included is 7 nights accommodation in Honolulu plus 17 nights onboard Dawn Princess sailing from Honolulu back to Sydney on 5 May via the Hawaiian Islands, Samoa, Tonga and Fiji. We've also included a number of Honolulu must-do tours including a Grand Circle Island tour, Pearl Harbour and Arizona Memorial, and a Magic of Polynesia Dinner & Show.
