mrs and mrs Posted August 11, 2016 Author #26 Share Posted August 11, 2016 (edited) I suppose one of the points I'm trying to make is. With the new builds and bigger classes coming down here, something has got to give. We could be in for some great deals. So where does loyalty lie. Would a line, cut things so much to the bone, that they turn off a strong, loyal customer base. There are big runctions,over on the main threads, amongst all lines. Some not to happy chappies over there. That is beside the point,im interested in our region.:):) or actually I am interested in whats happening over there,because in some form or way,for better or worse,it will filter down-under.

Just in regards to this, those boards go feral like this every four years and IMO, it has mainly to do with people being frustrated at the election /politics that they cannot talk about so they take out their frustrations on each other over some very trivial matters. It will pass by November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted August 11, 2016 #33 Share Posted August 11, 2016 (edited) Thanks, Traci, that's a bit different from what I've been trying to claim the Shareholder OBC. Still, at least that gives me an idea on response times. Edited August 11, 2016 by OzKiwiJJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beanb41 Posted September 27, 2016 #37 Share Posted September 27, 2016 And then in another 5-10 years all the cruise lines will start building smaller cruise ships again to offer passengers more choice of ports, more interesting itineraries, all at an inflated price, naturally. :rolleyes: Its happening already. Celebrity's new Edge class are between the M class and S Class sips in size. That said RCCL are going even bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ship Drongo Posted October 23, 2016 #38 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Interestingly Sapphire Princess has booking for 2018 and onwards for Sydney, was Emerald but now changed to Sapphire, although Emerald still has a few slotted in there. So Diamond and Sapphire for Sydney and Golden for Melbourne.I would really like one of them here full time:) Whichever we get, I think it will be a Grand class to compete with the larger Royal, Carnival and Celebrity ships. We really need one of them for World Cruises and Pacific Circle, the Golden longer itineraries from here have sold really well, so perhaps they were trialling a larger ship to see if they could fill it. Emerald is about to debut in Sydney with quite a few cruises slotted in until April. Golden is home to Melbourne all summer. Princess is also sailing out of Brisbane and and Perth. So I'm sure when they retire Sun & Sea, (Dawn is already announced as a new P & O ship), replacement ships will be required. Also, if Princess were smart they would really corner the market in Southeast and Western Australia as Royal Caribbean stubbornly refuses to place a ship in Melbourne. Their itineraries are therefore most unimaginative and repetitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
