Cruising over the New Year period

[MicCanberra]

Struggling to get that for a balcony lately Mic. Ours was $200 pp pd, but lately it seems nearer $250.

 

But it was $200 for about 15 years.

 

The cruises are out there but not necessarily around Australia.

The cruises are out there but not necessarily around Australia.

 

That may be an issue I hadn't considered, as we're limited to local cruises.

[MicCanberra]

Should have added though that we are largely limited to school holidays so peak time.

 

And out of Australia cruises.

[MicCanberra]

Yeah it's those school holidays that do it.

 

I guess when I was paying $200 everyone else was $150.

 

I should ales add that we have to have a mid ships location which adds a tad, generally about $20 pp pd too.

 

Midship is always at a premium. We really don't care where on the ship we go as long as it is a sandwich deck.:D

Yes, and you only have Sydney at that.:(

I've been fortunate enough to get prices at that level then, but that's a matter of luck, not certainty.

 

Basically, if that's the time that suits, the price you're looking at is decent. As others mentioned, availability for those triple and quad cabins will dry up due to the limited number, so even if better specials arise, it may only be available twin share which isn't much good for you.
