El Cheapo Cruises Thread

I didn't even look there because my usual TA is always (or was) cheaper.

Of course the price was $100 less before their current $100 OBC + $100 balcony upgrade sale.

 

The email I got from Princess offered double onboard credit for past cruisers if that helps, said it would be applied on booking.

 

I was looking at a cruise which combined with military OBC would have givedn 900 OBC - sorry can't remember which one now as I am just looking.

My oh my! If only my son wasn't completing year 12 and heading off on Schoolies Week at that time! I'd be onboard for sure...

Sorry,

I just made a dummy booking and this is what happened:-

 

Cruise Fare: x2 $594.00 $594.00

Taxes & Fees: x2 $435.00 $435.00

I didn't read the fine print, but I think it's still a good deal.

Must be a us one

 

Cause Celebrity site price is $1344 pp inside which includes taxes.

Yes there site has a habit of being a bit misleading even on the au version. They have a from price in the filtered search cruise list. Then you go into a mock booking and it does not give you a total price including taxes until you get to the confirm booking stage.

I just did a mock one for that cruise and came out to $1280 each inc taxes & grats, which is actually less than the price in the search list showing $1344 inc taxes.

still a good deal anyway

Why can't cruise lines get functioning websites??

 

I went the the Au Celebrity site and the from price $1344 pp as you said, but then I went through to book and price suddenly became $594pp as tobytoby said. Then they added the taxes, which didn't add to the original price. :rolleyes:

[MicCanberra]

It is very confusing sometimes, I think they do it deliberately so it makes it harder to compare with other sites.:(

P&O have made their site so difficult that I can't even work out how to find a cruise on it, let alone book one!

[MicCanberra]

Some balcony cabins going on the Ovation for the NYE cruise for around $2550 twin share. A real bargain.

I have to agree. I was looking for a particular cruise and could not find it on P&O's site. Used google and it took me to the P&O page for the cruise, go figure.:mad:

It was the Australian site, $AUS.

[wishfulone]

Help please. Anyone know of a cheap cruise with a nice 5-15 days itinerary out of Sydney, Singapore or Hong Kong in July? I found a P&O Sydney return up the east coast that looks interesting and the price is reasonable. Anyone seen anything else for July? We really need a short break.

Boy, do I agree with this!!! It would be the hardest and worst website to navigate around by far!!!.
