Jim_P and bluemarble,

Thanks for your replies. I now have a glimmer of hope (I was going to give up!) and will hopefully get some joy from the Australian Cruise Agency or Cunard tomorrow.I did see on Cunards website that it wasn't showing sold out, the prices were there, but you couldn't  click to book.

Thanks,

Anjo.

Note too that availability on this will be slim, and only filling a void for passengers leaving the previous cruise in Auckland instead of Sydney. It currently shows that only Princess Grill suite(s) guarantees as available.

Glad to see QM2 on another world voyage after missing a year but the itineraries for Australia are shockingly bad. Given that they pulled Queen Elizabeth out of the region with promises that the Australian market would still be important as part of world voyages they could have thrown us a bone. My options are fly to New Zealand for only a five night cruise back to Australia, or embark in Sydney and have to go all the way to China.

I live in NZ, only saw this 5 day cruise on Queen Mary Auckland/Sydney on 8th March, seems like the cabins are long gone😭

Hi everyone,

Recieved an email regarding this cruise from an Australian  Cruise Agency on Thursday 7th March. This segment is part of the 2026 World cruise. I live in NZ and am keen to book a Britannia inside stateroom. I realise there will be very limited cabins, but can't  seem to find any available, even on Cunard website. Are they likely to be all sold already considering they were only released on Friday? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Anjo.

Thankyou everyone, 

I should have been more specific. The cruise I am looking for is on the Queen Mary not Queen Anne, but I think my chances are still incredibly slim. Cruise is M605C. Still can't  find it on any Cruise Websites.

Anjo.

Thanks. I really hope so, 70th Birthday  treat, and a bucket list item.

Anjo.

Arx cards, thanks for that. Finally found it on Cunard. In contact with the Cruise Agency who sent me the email,  getting back to me with availability. If it's only Princess Grill available, that's me gone😭

Greetings,

Just wondering if this cruise is available for booking yet? Had an email from an Australian Cruise Agency, but struggling  to find it anywhere else, even on the Cunard website.May just be me being a  bit dim🤪

Thanks, Anjo.

So excited, boarding Coral Princess tomorrow for last 4 nights of 35 day Hawaii cruise. We are staying on for round Australia  cruise. Do we get a minibar set up in Auckland, and again in Sydney?

Thanks, Anjo.

Morning,

We are cruising Auckland/Sydney onboard Coral, then doing round Australia  in the same stateroom. From Arxcards comment it seems we have to get off with our luggage and reboard? Don't fancy having to repack and then unpack again😱

Thankyou everyone for your helpful comments. Transpires my husband is more bothered by it than me. Says he will take his suit otherwise he will feel uncomfortable.Can't  win.😁

Anjo.

Good Morning,

I know there are lots of opinions on this.

Going around Australia on Coral Princess in October, I  know we tend to be more informal down under, but does my Husband need to take a suit, or will a jacket, or a long sleeved shirt and nice tie suffice for Formal nights.

I also know we don't  have to go to the main Dining room for Formal nights, but we would like to without feeling uncomfortable. 

TIA  Anjo.

😭

Hi Everyone, 

Jst been reading GaznJos World cruise 2023 blog on Coral Princess. Horrified!! Have the wooden loungers been replaced by some hideous modern looking chairs!? Going Around Australia on her in October,  and been dreaming about stretching out on them watching the sea go by.Please tell me I read it wrong.😥

Anjo.

Thankyou everyone. 

Thanks Aus Traveller, but do I need to have it at all?

Anjo.

Hi Everyone,

The title probably says it all. Going around Australia in October 2023, on Coral Princess do we have to use the Medallion App? Prefer a card for our cabin, can walk to order drinks, don't need to know where my husband is, and don't  want all the other so called advantages. Just would like an old fashioned cruise experience. Can we do all the pre boarding paperwork on the computer before we go?

Thanks

Anjo.

One site was Australian the other was New Zealand. 😥

I am tired of seeing great deals on cruises, present one Queen Mary 2 , 40 nights Sydney/Dubai, 27 Feb 2024 $6647pp Inside, then when I go to look further, its suddenly $11,563 same price as a balcony. I want the inside for $6647, I don't want the FREE! upgrade to a balcony at an extra $5,000😥

Morning,

Thinking of staying here for the night as a treat after our Coral Princess  Circumnavigation of Australia in October. 

Any comments  greatly appreciated. 

Anjo.

Morning, 

Could someone please tell me about the bidding system for upgrades. Do you simply pay what is on the email or put in what you are happy to pay. First time we have been offered it. 

Thanks.

Thankyou everyone. Skynight, good link, found the balcony was uncovered and overlooked so am giving it a miss 

Anjo.

Thankyou everyone, uncovered and overlooked so gave it a miss.

Hi Everyone,

Not sure if I am allowed to post this here.

Pros and Cons for this Stateroom. Only 4 days Auckland/Sydney.

Thanks,

Anjo

Thank arxcards.

The up and down movement  was a concern particularly on this crossing, but it's a bargain, and I'm a Yorkshire lass. 😁 May not be able to score it as it means refaring  or rebooking my existing inside cabin.

Anjo.

Morning everyone, 

Quick help please Pros and Cons. Only 4 days from Auckland  to Sydney. 

Thanks.

Anjo.
