I can't think of any, sorry. Which cruise line are you with? If you are on one that sails from the OPT at Circular Quay there are quite a few hotels within easy walking distance. Also, depending on your luggage and mobility it is quite easy to get the train from the airport to Circular Quay. Otherwise there are plenty of taxis from the airport ready to take you to the city.

No shuttles that know of but all the CBD hotels are a short taxi ride from the overseas passenger terminal if that's where you are leaving from. Any hotel in TheRocks area is within walking distance.

Cause they asked too much as the start. And there is a lot of choice out there. Same will happen with other lines too if they get greedy with start prices.

If that pricing is right the cruise is free.... Half the credit plus the value of the drinks package is worth more than the cruise price

I believe it is for Balcony rooms up only for the drinks package but soft drinks for other rooms

I believe it is for Balcony rooms up only for the drinks package but soft drinks for other rooms

The quote from a TA about the package is:

 

"The Premium Beverage package includes any individual beverage item up to the value of or equal to AUD$12 per item. Items exceeding AUD$12 are not included and full charges will apply to these items. Beverages will be served one drink per order, per eligible guest. The package does not apply to room service, water in cabin, food and merchandise items, events or tastings, beverage and merchandise packaged items, New Zealand Natural ice cream products or cover charges. Persons aged 18 years and under will receive a Soft Drinks Package. "

 

No mention of it being limited to Balcony.

There is often a 'catch' on specials - reasons why they don't apply. Sometimes I think a particular deal will only apply if it is a Sunday and you have your fingers crossed behind your back. ;)

Well I booked the Eden 550 cruise 7th Dec (I thought) The TA ignored my YEs acceptance of the last cabin and went home Now there are no cabins left so I am out a cruise

 

This TA was recommended but I do not think I will even try them again:(:(:(

Give that TA a flick.

[icat2000]

Sorry to hear about missing your cabin. When the cabins are so low in number I don't rely on email. I'm on the phone straight away to ensure I have the booking. They might only have a couple of cabins at that price.

 

There are cabins left on that cruise but twice the price now. Must nearly be full.
