blobby113 Posted July 11, 2023 #5804 Share Posted July 11, 2023 BTW, I can’t find a roll call for the trip. Don’t Cunard travellers use CC much? (I’ve never been on Cunard before) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I’ve never been on Cunard before) There's a Cunard board here; it's fairly well patronised. Of course with only three ships and all of them smaller than the super-ships of other lines, there are fewer passengers and therefore fewer potential cruise critic contributors.

Rare lyndarra Posted July 24, 2023 #5813 Share Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) Over the weekend I received and email for a cruise tour and also saw the same one from same TA advertised in a Sunday paper. It seemed really El Cheapo but it had a few pros and a couple of serious cons. Pros Return flights to New York on QANTAS. 2 nights accomodation in NYC (extendable to 😎 8 night cruise - Miami, Ocean Cay and Nausau Cons Very long haul flights Only 2 ports Miami and Nassau - I don't consider a private island beach a port. MSC But, at AUD2999, it is tempting just for the heck of it and I've never been to NY. Not much more $$ than a NZ cruise. Edited to add. Available this October Edited July 24, 2023 by lyndarra extra info 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripmode33 Posted August 7, 2023 #5815 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Also on the topic of cheaper cruises, I noticed Carnival Luminosa has added a Senior Rate (55 or 60 years+) to two of it's January 2024 South Pacific cruises. Only affects the Balcony Rate. Doesn't require you to have a VIFP number or have done past carnival cruises. Best value is 21 January 7 night from Brisbane for around $780 Balcony (comes down from over $900 for non senior). It goes to one of my favourite ports, Mare. But it is in cyclone season. Like many I guess, there were such cheap carnival cruises last season, we'll probably hold off booking any until we see how good the last minute deals are this coming season! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinbadThePorter Posted August 7, 2023 #5816 Share Posted August 7, 2023 For a New Years cruise this seems like good value to me. Coral Princess 14 nights to NZ from Brisbane 28th December 2023 Balcony $1959 For some reason the insides and windows are more expensive than balcony. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare aussielozzie18 Posted August 17, 2023 #5822 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Last month, Jetstar had very cheap flights to Hawaii for late Oct early Nov (didn’t look at mid Oct) $299 one way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewgood Posted August 17, 2023 #5823 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Unfortunately the flight costs for a cruise early in October have proven difficult to find a cheap airfare. We leave Honolulu on the 2nd of Oct on a cheap cruise and had to pay over $1000 each for flights as we are flying in the Australian school holiday period. I think this is the reason for the increased fight costs. On the positive side it forced us to shop around and we will be trying Hawaiian Airlines for the first time. So looking forward to that.

Rare arxcards Posted August 28, 2023 #5824 Share Posted August 28, 2023 No flights for this one, unless you need to fly to Sydney. Not bargain basement, but in the cheap realm for a 13-nighter in January. Majestic Princess, Jan 18th or Feb 10th '24, 13 days 5 ports - Noumea, Mystery Island, Lautoka, Suva, Dravuni Island $1499pp twin. The same ports on Royal Princess' Christmas cruise is $1699pp twin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm off in late September on a repositioning cruise to Australia from North America. I found the cheapest deal was to go via Hawaii, and book two separate flights. I got a Qantas premium economy for $A629 to Honolulu and then an Air Canada economy from Honolulu to Vancouver for $A269. This was in May, and since then both those flights have gone up in price by more than 50%. I was expecting to pay much more, so I blew some of my savings on two nights in Hawaii en route. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
