More ideas for Akerue and his RRS... too bad no remote cord for the shutter release on Lumix... :bsmilie: And then no hot shoe for the leveller...

I dunno about remote cord (something to check for), but definitely there is a hotshoe!
Can mount the radio trigger and use for studio outing sia!

Question: when you pay for a package (standard one I suppose), do they include meals, 3x or 1x or you have to pay for them separately? Also, what about those electronic games (not the casino)...you have to pay separately?

Oh yeah, this is a newbie for cruises... lolz

Ok here's what little I know about cruises nowadays.
The upmarket ones have your generic buffet restaurants and your exclusive, more private dining restaurants.
From what I know, the cruise ticket covers accomodation and ALL meals (basically you can eat 24/7) onboard at the generic buffet-style restaurants.

Stuff that costs extra:
1) gambling
2) drinks at bar area (generally alcoholic drinks)
3) private (ie. fancy) dining
4) etc

Ah thanks, but the range of food for buffet always the same fare? Range big or not, or eat until you get sick of it on the 3rd day kind?

Basically what you can get if you go to a decent hotel buffet la... they aren't so cheapo to give you only bee hoon/fried rice!

depending on which cruise company you go with, but if it's the big ones (R.Carribbean, Star Cruises, etc), you will probably be pleasantly surprised at the food quality and variety.

Thanks Bitez and ZCA, I'll go check up on the packages at a later time!

 

[daredevil123]

hahah... no lor.. she will sure nag and complain about wad i say for like a week.. =X




but how much cheaper would it be? if converted back to SG dollar? Will there be any warranty for it? International or local?

All Nikon lenses come with international warranty if you ask for "Fa Piao" (aka tax invoice).

Just put it this way, when I sold it at 300 after around 6 months usage, I did not lose a single cent. Even though I included a free UV filter, I still did not lose a single cent with that factored in.

I often receive special deals for cruises in the credit card flyers...

Sometimes it pays to use credit card
