Kiwi_cruiser Posted December 6, 2014 #701 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Its just a shame we are going on the Queen Elizabeth in Feb or we would jump on one of those Diamond Princess deals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted December 6, 2014 #702 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I know the prices have been reducing but the market is by no means saturated yet. I think it is more a case of enticing people to cruise who have never cruised before or have not cruised with that line before and once they are addicted (we all know it will happen), then they can increase costs.

Kiwi Kruzer Posted December 6, 2014 #703 Share Posted December 6, 2014 The market will sort itself out. Add up the numbers that are needed to fill all the ships down here and thats a lot of people going to bed on the ocean each and every night..:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Big_M Posted December 6, 2014 #705 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Their prices aren't ideal for them, but they look at the entirety of the season and whether she is better deployed elsewhere. I think by those standards, she's okay at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iancal Posted December 8, 2014 #706 Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) We live in Canada and usually book with an on line US TA. BUT, we have been researching prices and it appears that, from time to time, pricing on Australian TA websites for Australian cruises are better priced than on our usual site. Did a price compare on the recent Diamond sale and saw a 20 percent or more delta. We do not want to ask an OZ on line or regular TA if they will accept our booking given that we are from Canada. We do not want to 'compromise' the agent/agency by asking this upfront. BUT, we do have an Australian accommodation address (friends) that we could use in a pinch. So, for those in the know, will a OZ online TA accept our booking with our home address, should we use an OZ address, and do the cruise lines do anything silly like check you home address against where/how you booked the cruise? Thanks very much. Looking very much forward to coming back to Australia again for a visit! Lots of snow here today.

In short I do not know, but I have never seen any restrictions on customer address for using an Aussie TA. Friends from England have certainly used them and do not have an aussie address but they were staying (extended stay) in Australia at the time. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be able to get around the address part that way, but unless you're a new Princess cruiser and happy to not get credits and/or have a Princess AU sailing account (or a separate one), you'll likely get picked up if you try to link to your existing CA profile.

Rare MicCanberra Posted December 13, 2014 #715 Share Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) .What was that cost per head per night Mic, if you don't mind me asking? Cheers R :cool: . It is hard to say, we have purchased a cruise/tour/Fly package which includes everthing. At the time we had tried to break it down and due to the safari part of the trip it became very difficult, we estimated around $150-200 per night per person in a balcony cabin. Either way it was a great deal and is much better and cheaper than what we could do it for. Edited December 13, 2014 by MicCanberra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelwingsflys Posted December 22, 2014 #716 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Hi Everyone , Just received my Tuesday email early ,today,normally a accommodation site,but they have started to show discount cruises.

There are a large amount of unbooked cabins for a cruise that departs in a few weeks. Particularly OV and JS. Prices may drop a lot lower yet if they want to fill the ship.

Blue Elephant Posted January 2, 2015 #723 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I just looked at this Rhapsody cruise. Amazingly, there is an aft balcony cabin still available, which seems amazing this late. But, all my leave is allocated to another trip in May and June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are some baragins around if your prepared to wait and you can go at a drop of hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodyren Posted January 2, 2015 #725 Share Posted January 2, 2015 My hat is close to dropping. No plans before Quantum in May but I could squeeze this in as I only work casual and can travel when I wish. If the price drops further I'm in and I think it will.
