Looking at it on P&O, they currently have such a sale - and it shows as $77 per night inside, $90 per night window, $110 balcony. Those numbers also reflect why Princess is dropping a ship out of Sydney next season and why the Melbourne season has been shortened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Sparky74 Posted November 12, 2023 #5891 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Our first ever cruise was with RCI and we remained loyal to Royal for some years. I still have a bit of a soft spot for them and as Diamond C&A members the 4 complimentary drinks each day are a bit of a sweetener. So it’s a little disappointing that they haven’t been mentioned in this thread lately. 💰 It might be worth checking out Quantum OTS sailings from Brisbane to the South Pacific Islands. 15/2/2024 - 7 nights - inside cabin - $799 1/3/2024 - 7 nights - inside cabin - $799 29/1/2024 - 9 nights - inside cabin - $999 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a $US account is a start while our dollar is tanking, but Royal has increased their US pricing as well. I keep looking, as they are otherwise a great option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t spend much onboard so that doesn’t affect us greatly. But you’re right. You’d think after all of these years they could charge in Australian Dollars while cruising from Australian home ports like many of the other US cruiselines do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the full time ships are $AU, and it is only visiting Princess ships that change while they are here. The other with Royal is that when starting to book, it sometimes feels like they are taking the pi$$. I was just looking at a 2 nighter on Ovation. After a massive $900+ cabin discount is applied, the cruise is still $550 each for an inside cabin. Who in their right mind would suggest that one of those cabins be worth over $450pp per night. I just spotted that when skimming through for a possible shortie and gave up pretty quick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetta83 Posted November 12, 2023 #5895 Share Posted November 12, 2023 I don't like Royal's booking system where the lowest price is shown at the search but cabins are unavaliable when booking it. Example, lowest interior are shown on search, only to discover only suites are available. I personally feel that Virgin's booking system is the best. It allows you to customize all filters upfront and sorts accurately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think maybe because it was so different from what I was used to. It was also only 3 days so I didn't really give them much of a chance. I think its time for me to try again, when the right deal pops up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently received an email for a collection of different cruises recently and all the prices were for Inside Cabins only!! So maybe passengers are avoiding inside cabins already. My first Australian cruise was on Rhapsody of the Seas from Hawaii to Sydney, which I loved. I was surprised I didn't receive any offers from Royal Caribbean although I receive lots of offers from cruise lines I haven't cruised with. Maybe it was because it was a Charter, their first ship to Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that is not the reason then. Could it be that it hadn't "clocked on" in Australia yet. We still had grits, lots of sweet pastries for breakfast, sweet teas, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
