Sounds amazing... Where are you finding the cruise on Celebrity Edge on Jan 25 for only $90 per night?

 

Do you have a website link or company name? Is it in USD or AUD?

 

Thanks!

Re read my post M.C !!!

$185 ,balcony

$175 window

$165 inside

Google online cruise  and 2 top have similar price. But prices change ,can be withdrawn anytime....$1000 cheaper than similar cruise  1 month latter..so far...

celebrity edge is  priced lower than my discounted fare of last week,only $90

QLD 10 nights ex sydney jan 25

$194 per night for veranda i payed ,now $185,but possibly obstructed view

i am allocated cabin deck 6 no obstruction.very happy.would not want Obstructed V

the price moves around alot,hr by hr,dynamic pricing.

ALSO i got a move up offer,suite for another $1800 p p

but my mrs only drinks tea and water.i could not drink hers and mine drink package...

and walk,,ha ha,But it looks so nice..

this cyclone has Maybe pushed celebrity cruises to drop price

ive Just booked celebrity edge

infinite veranda GTD for cairns ,port douglas

sydney .dept,jan 25 .2024for under $200 per person,per  night..!!!!

10 night cruise

i seen her when docked in sydney last week,real fancy...

and of the price payed ,theres $1564 in taxes..

.im paying just under. total $4k.2 pax total

same cruise cabin  feb 24 is $1200 per person more

i just payed...

woo hoo.

My p@o gripe is since covid p@o out of  Sydney has added 1 extra sea day on the  return  trip pacific  Islands  to  Sydney. 

Used to be isle of pines last stop,then 2 sea days,now last stop mystery Island  ,then Sydney  is 3 sea days.yes I know, 1st world  problem...I like the  pacific adventure. Like the  promenade  deck,old princess  ships are fine for  me.

Cunard cruise sale started.

Got a inside deluxe for a 7 night Sydney  to tassie for $825 PP.feb 2024

1st time going on the Queen Elizabeth..

Prices are changing  rapidly, 14 night south  pacific  cruise is good value.check it out....

The world is your oyster.😁

Never boring nswp

i luv every minute,i m a old sailor

,looking at the swell direction,clouds,wind,coastline of nsw,and you get mobile reception from shore 80% of the syd-morton is. trip makes it easy as,actually i would go on this deal,but im going tasmania 28 nov on adventure.allways grab a cheap deal ,priceless

great deal on  new to  P@ O pacific adventure outta sydney next monday

4 nights morton island

$399 balcony gt.

i payed $429 on special previously ,so this is extra good,

ive been 3 times this year morton isd,and the mrs will

cruisifyxxx me if i book again...ha get it,cruisify...

Noumea ,arrival .

you enter the reef,you can see it ringing neu caladoni.  from up high on the cruise ship,the channel ,its ocean swells,then calm inside.magic in the early morning light

isle of pines,departure

as you leave , about 20 min .out you pass close by a little light house on a deserted 1 palm tree sandy island,in the evening dusk  light,its magical

how i daydream of spending a day,night castaway,with a bottle or 3 of vervue cliquot and lobster bbq.bonjour

it would have been nice to go in the mini suite on Explorer,

there better than adventure mini suites,in my own experience

full seperate bathtub,double balcony,higher up deck,there 2 balcony cabins combined as 1 really

 were as  on adventure its a stretched out balcony cabin,with bigger balcony

p@o must be charging someone  a pretty penny to not want to give you the mini suite on x221n !!!

i booked a inside on p@o out of sydney 7 june 2 weeks ago for $279..4 nights

pack @ go deal,today theres another deal,same inside for  $249...

grab em while its cheap....

heres hoping they bump up everyone to balcony!!!

okay me and the little lady anchors away 7 june for the first of many P@ o  out of sydney..

i read that p@O want cruisers to use this app verifly.

so i downloaded it, its pretty slick

but it does,nt have p@O as a cruise line,only carnival ect

anyone want to share what you know about this..

save me ringing p@O

and im sure theres others who would like to know.thanks and happy cruising.challis

P@o flash sale on now...

But the flash sale rooms are to be payable in FULL on booking...

3 week s ago paid 50% deposit to secure the cheapest price...

Fascinating....

Maybe  p@o confident cruises are starting!!!!

I am finding the p@o flash sale perplexing..

Early Dec pack and go was 4 night s to Morton Island ex Sydney balcony for $499,

A good price and similar to 2 years ago sale .

But now a boxing Day sale has same cruise for $429 balcony. I happily paid $550 for a Jan Morton Island that was cancelled, that was also flash sale

And I booked a 10 night to Qld in early December, now same cruise has balcony for $10 more than the price I paid for window,$1020 

P@o are dropping price s in sales,I keep booking, the sale price gets cheaper,I hope all is going well for carnival???!!!

sorry to hear the that bowmn54

the cruises i have in mind are from july 21 onwards,

i have allways been able to cruise at less than 3 months notice,which is when the 

last cabins,GTD status- are put up for sale,at last minute  prices-

i am so itching to get back onboard-But dont want the stress of having to double check my booking

on a weekly basis to ensure its still there.

the On line TAs are great,until you need help with bookings,then you seperate the good @ others

being 6 months plus out from Hopefull cruise-yes i will wait it out ..thanks for the feedback

see you all onboard soon...

I did a online booking through my long time cruise T.A..Ozxxxxg

But the people posting online re.

Extended delayed response to refund owing has me asking myself if it's a gamble.

I  like them because I don't get hit with credit card surcharge that the cruise lines charge

But if payment made by card would give you charge back in worst case scenarios.

Anyone thinking I'm over cautious?

Have 24 hours to pay

imagine buying the old pacific eden

,anchoring it permantly off mystery island

daily flights direct syd-mystry island on jetstar.

a special jet that can land on grass..!!!

5 nights from $1000 ,inclusive of airfare,inside cabin

.aloha...

yes so very unexpected

heard on the radio this covid-19 is a 1 in 50 year event,

i m sure cruise lines have insurance for just such black swan events

keep calm and carry on...

well...

i booked  a friends flight   via fly365.com -singapore air- who departed a month ago

ticket purchased in nov.19

and is due back in 2 weeks.thankfully,on the airline website the ticket

is confirmed and obviously paid in full for the return .

fly365 was aprox.$150 cheaper than booking direct with airline website

$950 vs $1100

i thought thats a good saving,and have booked with 365.com previously

found them via skyscanner

But this news,another reason to not cut corners with tickets.

its like walking through a minefield-

note to self...

go direct with airline website .do not penny pinch...bad things can

happen to good people...
