The drinks packages are not free as they state try book without the package and see the difference

[peter.kath@hotmail.com]

I know what you mean it was more then twice what we expected to pay.

You can book without the package

[Gold Coast Cruisers]

Oh I hadn't seen this thread otherwise I would have shared this earlier.

 

We booked Pacific Aria on a last minute deal:

7 nights leaving tomorrow Monday 30 November

Itinerary: Depart Brisbane, Hamilton Island, overnight in Cairns, Willis island cruising and back to Brisbane.

from: $549 oceanview or $649 Oceanview, two different Oceanview categories.

 

I think all the cruiselines had very high pricing and people haven't booked, now they are selling them off because there are deals flying into my computer from everyone. :)

Fly, train or drive up?

 

No added too much time and hassle and extra costs like petrol and parking or air fares so for a last minute it has to be from Sydney

Overnight xpt is 230 per adult kids are 2 dollars and that a return price

When you want a last minute bargain adding anything to the price negates the idea

 

I want cruises from Sydney if they are for last minute bargains without adding anything but the $2.50 train fare each to the cost Thanks

[B'Elanna]

I think you have to ask yourself, what is the maximum price per night you are willing to pay for a last minute bargain. Then if the air fare (or other cost to get there) is added, will it put the total above your price per night? What a bargain is to one person, may not be a bargain to others.

This is so true

The previous advice would add a lot to any bargain.

The fare to Sydney docks is $2.50 pp

The fare to the airport is $17.pp

both each way so by 4 costs

I would never fly in to a cruise on the day of the cruise in case of problems so that means a night in an hotel extra cost

Also this means transport from the airport to the hotel and from the hotel to the cruise terminal

 

All these extra charges means that most savings would be completely lost if not costing us even more than a similar cruise from Sydney which we would think was not in our price range as a bargain (just saying):D:D

Here is an unusual pricing you don't often see.

 

Pacific Aria to NC and Vanuatu

Departs Brisbane 1 Feb 16

11 Nights

 

$1339 Inside

$899 Oceanview:eek:

 

The reason might be that the inside includes the $79 a day drinks package, but the oceanview doesn't.

Princess have just lowered the price on the Cherry Blossom cruise in February 2016 on the Sea Princess.

 

$3599 for an inside cabin. For a 42 day cruise, that is $85 per day!!!! Great value for such a long cruise.
