Masaki - what a great deal! And to think Amanda LIKES mooncakes. It's a real win-win.

Crystal - it looks like Mid-Autumn festival is early this year (Sept. 18). It is figured on a lunar calendar so it moves around each year. Last year it was Oct. 4. There are great ideas on the Hong Kong Tourism Website www.discoverhongkong.com . We used it extensively last year and found it useful.

Ms - I'm assuming the private transfer cost from the airport to the ship is in Hong Kong dollars, right? If it is, it seems reasonable (about US$140 total for 4 plus I assume a 10% tip).

If it's actually US$, it's much too high. Here's a site giving you indicative rates for a private transfer from Hong Kong Airport to the Kowloon side (the ship docks near the Harbour City shopping center). US$38 per person x 4 = US$152 x 7.8 = HK$1,186.
