MargoK Posted November 17, 2011 #326 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Wow! Those Diamond Princess prices kinda make me wish I hadn't booked the Century for next year - I'll know now to hold off booking a cruise for late next year when there's even more ships around Well timtam, holding out is not necessarily the best option at peak times. Last year the Diamond was full for the 22 Dec Christmas & New Year Cruise. (The double header is a real draw card - hence our booking Century this year) Also I think there are three more ships plying this route this summer so the competition was way up. Things can change quickly in 12 months - next year is looking like the same but..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely to see bargain offers such as this. Perfect for those who can cruise at short notice. However lots of cruisers, like us, are already booked for cruising NZ. I see from reading Radiance cruise reviews that there have been some teething problems. However, I think it is more November is a very quiet time of the year for cruising in Australia.

Gold Coast Cruisers Posted November 19, 2011 #331 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Wow that's a good deal. Our friends booked the same cruise 2 weeks ago and thought they had the 'deal of the day' paying A$900 inside cabin. I had better not tell them.....;) Jilly:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got that too and would have loved to have been able to have done it, but alas, it wasn't to be. Fantastic deal. i got the email also but there should be other bargains too I've got my fingers (and everything else too) crossed that they have some more super specials ... especially as I'm cruising solo and have to pay the supplement. Keeping my eye out for an future specials! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happysnapper Posted November 20, 2011 #333 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Sailed on MSC Poesia last year. A splendid ship and spotless throughout a Transatlantic crossing. It is an Italian line so just be aware of their (non existent) smoking policy. We could not go into most of the lounges as people smoked everywhere. The main lounge even had a sign "Smokers Welcome". Just hope they are changing with the times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they aim at achieving new passengers and have separate databases for different circumstances. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's like a lucky dip?:) No it is not a lucky dip - it's called very slack service and not actually caring about their past passengers. I did what I thought was the right thing, registered online etc... My SIL has been getting mailers etc, but not me, so I rang and asked why? EVENTUALLY established the address they had for me was not anything near correct, so goodness knows what database they use!!!! :mad: Asked if they could send me another mailer - not possible they don't get spare stock :eek: The CSO certainly needed to be retrained, or it is just how they think customer service should be :rolleyes: So the answer is ring the Princess and double check ALL the details they have for you, and don't expect what you see online to be what they have.
