. Alos available on RC site.... but...it’s only doing overnight in Noumea and Mystery Island..   looks like balcony includes drinks package 

 

would do...   but destinations are IMO not much

 

looking at other Ovation schedules.... hit and miss with NZ stops.... expecting a few bargains

I just booked directly with Carnival Australia 10 nights on Carnival Legend going to NZ (South Island) out of Melbourne.

 

Guaranteed Balcony $1199 pp

 

They also had inside $849 pp or Oceanview $1049 pp (Guaranteed) 

 

Full payment required at booking and I believe deal ends tonight. It was their 72 hour sale. It thought it was good value no flight required for us. 

Got our cabin allocation. We had booked guaranteed balcony cabin and we got allocated Stateroom / Cat: 8174 / 8K - extended balcony cabin. Thanks Carnival.  Must have seen our booze bill from last cruise with them and thought better keep those sloshes near the bar on the pool deck haha. Though we also spent some money at the spa and casino.

they've been trying to flog this cruise for a while now....  look at a post on page 107 from Tara Jane on the 30.10.2018

 

and I know we are 'cheap' on this thread... but ..  a '$25 beverage card' ??  gee... they are going gangbusters to fill this one with that offer.../s

 

Unless you have FF points - the Auckland flight part will be expensive.

[Kiwi Kruzer]

They must be scrambling to fill it ...got a newsletter today ..NZ price $NZ1089 plus the same drinks card. Payment must be made on booking.

I'm definitely cheap enough to never knock back $25.🍺

 

But the free grats are worthwhile.😎

 

I would be looking hard at this one if I weren't already booked elsewhere.

[Tara Jane]

Im booked on it, not telling the friends I am travelling with.

Yes its the grats thats so goodl 

[taffy62]

I'm on same cruise 😀 booked inside guarantee for $849 and got upgraded to 4K cabin which is priced at $1700 😱

I'm a happy bunny 😀

[Tara Jane]

well done, when did you get your cabin allocation? we are still wating.

 

[MicCanberra]

HAL has had some great prices recently for their upcoming sailings.

[ROSEBERRY]

Help needed.

I discovered this amazing Deal offered by an Australian Cruise Discounter who is unknown to me. $1600 non refundable dep.required by 28/11/18
