Japan fourteen nights on celebrity for just under a hundred a night

Is it the connie or the millie?

[denny girl]

It's the Millie

 

[thistledoo]

Is it the Pacific crossing?   Can't find another one at that price.

[denny girl]

Yes it's the Pacific crossing. The guru says it's from Tokyo to Vancouver

[thistledoo]

Gotcha, thanks.   That particular crossing regularly has nice price drops.

[MicCanberra]

Cheers, that would explain the pricing, as we would need two one way flights.

[The_Big_M]

Yeah, it's not the greatest itinerary so not that popular.

Columbus was the Pacific Pearl.

Yes of course, and the Pacific Eden will become the Vasco De Gama.

It's a bit strange.

 

On the Princess site it starts out saying that it is $344pp for the balcony, but if you keep going to select the room it says that it is $569pp.

Yes,  I've just seen that. Balconies are now back to their original price. I was lucky to get in this morning and get one for $349.

Thanks. I had an inside but your post enabled me to get an upgrade (at a small change cost extra).

Glad you were able to take advantage of it. I upgraded from an obstructed view to a balcony and actually saved money.

Was that direct from the RCI site?

 

If so, it seems to have gone to $1901pp now when you drill down.

Yes it was, initially online wouldn’t give me that price so I phoned RCI who said it had sold out and tried to offer me another cruise deal. I went back online and shortly after I was able to book at $999 and then it gave me the balcony discount. Maybe try again later if you are keen.

We got a good deal  on the Explorer of the Seas on the RC website on Tuesday, a balcony guarantee  for 8 nights, Qld cruise - Feb1st for $849 ea with D+ discount.

Had to be quick as they are now selling balconies around $1500 or more each but were giving $500 obc per cabin.

I suppose that is one of the great advantages.
