Ru2on Posted August 9, 2017 #3451 Share Posted August 9, 2017 We live three hours drive away so No flights ..about time Nth Qld gets access to cruises without having to fly. Sadly though I don't think the cruises are selling well and next year I think they are cutting back the cruises that leave from Cairns.

Rare MicCanberra Posted August 9, 2017 #3455 Share Posted August 9, 2017 It is partly because we are a captive market and they know they can get away with it and not have to discount tickets and partly because we only have Virgin and Qantas to fly with.

Ru2on Posted August 13, 2017 #3470 Share Posted August 13, 2017 The Fraser Island cruise jumped up this afternoon , I think there is still a lot of cabin availability , I guess price will prob go back down . I have been checking them daily and sometimes the very next day they are back down to rock bottom. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
