Rare Kinkacruiser Posted June 2, 2010 #4 Share Posted June 2, 2010 It's good to see the choices of liner and itineraries expanding for the 'downunders' :) Thankyou Princess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willyguy Posted June 2, 2010 #5 Share Posted June 2, 2010 What about the west coast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiecruiser275 Posted June 3, 2010 #6 Share Posted June 3, 2010 What about the west coast? The Dawn or Sun will relocate to Freo (Freemantle) for the Winter months, whilst the other will do its RTW cruise. Whilst the Sea and Sapphire will either then be stationed then in Europe or Alaska - the usual pattern. I wish though we could get a year round Princess ship to be based in Sydney......I keep wishing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuldalai Posted June 3, 2010 #7 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Princess persist in scheduling cruises from Sydney & Melbourne to Northern Queensland and the South Pacific in the Australian Summer when it is as hot as hell there, and no one wants to go . Then they wonder why loadings are poor . But where are these cruises in the Australian winter months when people really want to get away from the South and cold to the warmer climates in Queensland and the South Pacific . For example especially with Melbourne & Hobart (Tasmania) Princess should schedule in June and July consecutive round trips departing from Melbourne that go Melbourne - Brisbane - Barrier Reef - Cairns - New Caledonia - Vanuatu - Sydney - Hobart - Melbourne with pax being able to join in both Melbourne and Hobart . Such a circuit would be as popular as New Zealand is in the Summer months . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
