El Cheapo Cruises Thread


Recommended Posts

I've been looking at these carnival cruises. So tempting and airfares at that time to Sydney are reasonable but I have my cruise to NZ planned for next April.

 

If you've got the $$$ and can afford the time off work, why not do both? :D

I'm not sure why people keep talking about the flight to Cairns being so expensive .

Example (and I just woke up so forgive me if I get something wrong..but)

You could fly from Sydney on the 8th September do the 3 day Willis Island Cruise which last time I looked was $149pp, and then do the Back to back, Four day Whitsunday cruise which was around $169pp , then fly home on the 16th

Cost of flights on those dates

 

Departing 08 September 2017 from Sydney to Cairns

Returning 16 September 2017 from Cairns to Sydney

X 1

adult

Total

Price

$306.00

Tiger Airways

 

Actually just looked those two cruises again , one is $145pp & the other $165 pp

so

2 x cruises $310

Airfare $306

Total cost. $616

 

.....or stay on and do the 7 night cruise To New Guinea on 16 Sep

Cruise $547pp

Total cost. $1,163.00

(Presuming the flight home is roughly the same cost as previous costing .haven't had coffee not doing all the work for you!)

 

That would be total cost of $1163 for 3 cruises 14 nights and your flights home to Sydney

Yeah fairly easy to get to Sydney as we can drive, fly, bus or train up. We will be in India and Nepal touring, so cannot do that cruise .

Have fun in India and Nepal. Been twice to India with Intrepid Travel. Shame the Taj is in scaffold though.

Those a nice little cheapies for people up in Queensland. We get them out of Melbourne but its on the Jewel (and that ship is very very very old and tired).

 

P&O do not have any new ships, they were to get one but they changed their mind and Carnival got it instead.

I tried to book the Fraser Island cruise but kid availability is full. I called the travel agent and prices have gone up.

 

Yes I was showing a friend this early this morning and the price was just over $200 twin share obstructed ocean, total for the cabin .. she went home to talk to her husband they got back onto the website to look at the cruise and it is now triple the price . I have told them to not give up hope no doubt it will go back down after the sale finishes!
