jpbtwo Posted January 6, 2016 #3 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Did this cruise in 2009 and 2011 and loved it. The 7 days from Mauritius to Fremantle at the end were a bit of a drag - in 2011 we went via the south pole and turned left at the first sight of penguins. It was due to rough weather easier to head south and then back up than the original plan of straight across to Fremantle. We had planned to do this cruise however Bob's PD worsened and he passed away in September due to a broken femur and pneumonia. Maybe next time.

Kiwi Kruzer Posted January 6, 2016 #5 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Bon Voyage Bazzaw and all who are sailing with you. Its a wonderful cruise . We did a similar one on Pacific Princess in 2005, except we cruised Bangkok to Capetown.....then had a long flight home via Singapore .:rolleyes: Great ports of call .

GurlzCruisinRTW Posted January 17, 2016 #18 Share Posted January 17, 2016 This would be a cruise I would be interested in And I remember seeing Inside Cabin at around 4,000 AUD Wonder if its a 2nd yearly cruise?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aus Traveller Posted January 18, 2016 #19 Share Posted January 18, 2016 This would be a cruise I would be interested in And I remember seeing Inside Cabin at around 4,000 AUD Wonder if its a 2nd yearly cruise?? Princess did this cruise in 2009 and 2011 (when we went). For the 2009 cruise, the starting price for inside cabins was (from memory) around $5,000. Two years later (tips came off then) it was $5,200. $4,000 or thereabouts would be a fantastic price.:) The timing of this cruise is much better than in 2011, January instead of 3rd May. In 2017 there is the circle South America cruise. The Indian Ocean cruise may be planned for every second year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Kruzer Posted January 18, 2016 #20 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Are they offering an overnight Taj Mahal tour on this cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted January 18, 2016 #21 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Are they offering an overnight Taj Mahal tour on this cruise? That would be awesome to see with doing a cruise excursion, and so much easier than a purposeful visit to India. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aus Traveller Posted January 18, 2016 #22 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Are they offering an overnight Taj Mahal tour on this cruise? I don't think they would be because there is only one port in India. On the 2011 Indian Ocean cruise we had a few ports on the west coast of India. The trip to Taj Mahal took a few days - could have been 2 nights at least. People said they enjoyed it but it was exhausting and the other problem was the time of year. In mid summer it was 46 degrees C. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were ill for quite a while when back on the Sun Princess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Kruzer Posted January 18, 2016 #25 Share Posted January 18, 2016 It could be done . They would have 3 days and 2 nights. Tue 19/01/16 Chennai (ex: Madras) / India 08:00 18:00 Wed 20/01/16 At Sea Thu 21/01/16 Colombo / Sri Lanka 07:00 20:00 They would have to leave first thing from Chennai and rejoin the ship in Colombo , just before it sails.
