El Cheapo Cruises Thread

Interesting times. Fuel price down, $US up against all currencies. Will the prices adjust to match the world or the world have to adjust to match $US.

 

As long as people keep buying, they'll keep selling at those rates.

 

And a fuel price down and a US$ up keeps their prime customers booking.

[MicCanberra]

Hopefully it won't affect our pricing too much, the currency exchange is enough of an issue.

[Kinkacruiser]

This is not a cheapie so far, but I'd be interested to know if anyone has booked or plan to book?

So far I see the September 2015 SFO - SYD is starting to fill and there is a sale on it. I'm hoping the return trip will also get a discount and that our dollar picks up.

Cheers,

Anna :)

You never know. How many cabins are left.

[The_Big_M]

For anyone missing Century, I've priced a good deal for an inside, and to more 'exotic' destinations, with a full service airline (BA). You only have a week though, so only good for the retirees!

 

8th Feb, Myanmar, Thailand and Malaysia, Celebrity Century, with flights 7th and 23rd back. $1,764.00/person for an inside, so basically a little more than $100 night INCLUDING flights. Flights are ex Sydney.

 

Usually it's hard to get good deals on last minute flights, so pretty happy with this one. (You could go even cheaper with Scoot/AirAsia, but why would you?)

 

Itinerary is: Singapore, Asia, Phuket, Thailand, Yangon (Rangoon), Myanmar, Langkawi, Malaysia, Penang, Malaysia, Port Kelang, Malaysia, Singapore, Asia

[Esilef]

A travel website is advertising a sale to start on Monday for $99 p&o cruises. Seems like it will be a blink & u miss it deal with only a few cabins. They say it's for 6&7 night cruises.

 

Hoping to try my luck and might also buy a lotto ticket.

Very tempting.

 

Great deal to include flights and goes to some wonderful places.

 

Did something similar last year and the ports were amazing.

 

Fortunately can`t find this great offer and I assume have to get to Sydney which adds to our cost.

Us too.......can you believe the price I was being cheeky the other day in my post about sub $1000........booked and paid for this morning at $926.44 per person....:D:D:D don't care where our cabin is;) bargain of the century.......

John and I cruised her first cruise to Australia from Honolulu in 2007... so it's only fitting we cruise her last one out of here........cheers Shiona

No, it's not an advertised deal, just something I priced up. You can get the cruise element from Celebrity's web site (or your preferred travel agent). And I added the flight on to make that price.

 

I just priced from Adelaide and you do have to fly through Sydney - but it's exactly the same price! (And still full service - connection is with Qantas).

[The_Big_M]

Same! Would have loved to take it up.

[Esilef]

I booked direct and have not added gratitudes in (yet).

 

I also don't get on board credits.

Even better price! Not sure about the prepaid gratitudes. We paid those last time & had to but now they don't seem to be compulsory?

 

I am a bit worried about cruising with my 5 yr old autistic son (he loved voyager) as my husband is not with us. At the time he is walking the Kokoda trail. Son will miss hubby terribly and we will have very bad tantrums but he would have done this at home anyway.

 

I expect I will be allocated a cabin not in prime real estate!

 

Hoping there won't be too many kids on board as last time we could not use the kids club as they could not handle my son.

 

I love cruising as does my son (hubby is upset he misses out but he will have his own adventure and hopes to meet the ship in Singapore.

Esilef - this is very tempting, could you tell me please which airline? we also would need to fly to Melbourne. I am about to get in to check out websites to see if I can get a good deal.

[Tara Jane]

found a website showing rhapsody april 17th 934ish pp inside but when I try to get into royal Caribbean website it isn't even showing up as a cruise. there is only a Sydney to Sydney for 6th april. I left options open too showing anywhere as destination just trying to put in Sydney departure and name of the ship.

trying to find reasonable flight before I go and book the cruise.

any suggestions?????

we have a FCC to use with royal and in the past found it almost impossible to use thru a TA.
