Sailaway John Posted June 10, 2010 #1 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Hi all, just read that Sun Princess will not be sailing to New Zealand when I want to go - that is in October/November next year (2011). So open for suggestions as to what ship I should sail on, but still prefer around the end of 2011. Any help available:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motnyl Posted June 14, 2010 #9 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Hi John, Good for us the Sun embarking in Brisbane, but woeful itineraries, already booked on the NZ for Xmas with the Diamond and Asia on the Sun for 25 days in June. So looks like we will be doing repeaters again at the end of next year. Take Care Hi all, just read that Sun Princess will not be sailing to New Zealand when I want to go - that is in October/November next year (2011).So open for suggestions as to what ship I should sail on, but still prefer around the end of 2011.

Motnyl Posted June 14, 2010 #10 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Hi Bob You booked anymore yet. Glad we can cruise on a Princess ship from Brissie, although the itineraries are duplication of previous one. Very disappointing. hi John, the Sea Princess goes out of Sydney to NZ17th Oct...30th Oct...12th Nov & the 25th Nov 2011 the Radience of the Seas go to NZ 20th Nov & the 4th Dec 2011 out of Sydney bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motnyl Posted June 14, 2010 #11 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Hi Jane I agree with you the Diamond a wonderful ship, we are on her this Xmas/New Year will be our second diamond cruise, that and the sapphire our favourites. John the Diamond Princess usually does a cruise going to NZ late December - whilst I liked the Sun the Diamond would be my preference!

The_Big_M Posted June 14, 2010 #14 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Why are there so many cruises to New Zealand? It's close, convenient and attractive to foreign tourists. Also, there aren't that many destinations available from the East coast - no point having every cruise to South Pacific Islands either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwi sailor Posted June 16, 2010 #16 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I would suspect that the schedules for October next year in NZ will be out of wack because of the Rugby World Cup. Cruise ships being used as floating hotels in Auckland Wellington and Christchurch and availabilty of berths might be contributing to the odd schedule. It will be a big earner for the cruise lines, because they will be able to charge a massive rate and won't have fuel costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailaway John Posted June 19, 2010 Author #17 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Looks like we will either be on the Sea Princess or Radiance of the Seas out of Sydney in October next year. Just waiting for TA update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
