doug52 Posted March 19, 2021 #1 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I started looking at Windstar versus Paul Gauguin to do a Society Island and Tuamotu cruise. And, what led me to Windstar was their price and the fact that they had just completed the major renovation of the Star Breeze. So, when I called my TA, she quoted me a price based on a promotion they were doing with Windstar. So, I thought I would share what I got versus the price shown on Windstar's website: Windstar 10/17/21 11 day Society Island and Tuamotu S1 ocean view cabin $4,299 plus 133 tax = $4,432 per person and there is a perk offered currently by Windstar Our TA price S1 ocean view cabin $3,032 including port tax $410 rebate from TA, no perk available from Windstar with this promo And, only a $290 down payment. This was too good a deal to pass up, and thousands less than a comparable PG cruise. So, it pays to shop around. As you probably know, I am not allowed to share the TA name, but it pays to shop around. Good luck, Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimmer722 Posted March 19, 2021 #2 Share Posted March 19, 2021 This is our first time to book on Windstar and I 'm not sure how to go about finding a good TA that books for Windstar. It sounds like you got great pricing on your 11/21 cruise. We are looking at the same time period and some of the TA's that I have used in the past do not book Windstar. Any suggestions on how I can find a reputable TA to book Windstar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susiesan Posted March 19, 2021 #3 Share Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) You are assuming this cruise will even sail. I have my doubts. I see the same deal.. This is the Star Breeze, not the Wind Spirit sailing ship. An entirely different experience. Edited March 19, 2021 by susiesan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug52 Posted March 19, 2021 Author #4 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Yes, as I said in my initial post, this is the Star Breeze. We are reluctant to sail on the Sailing ships due to cabin size and my Wife's feeling her sea sickness will be worse in open waters. And one of my initial points was that I was comparing Paul Gauguin to Star breeze, two similar size cruise ships, not sailing ships. And, of course this is based on the cruise sailing, I have my doubts as well. But that doesn't mean I put my head in the sand and just wait this out. We have our vaccines and are ready to cruise if this one goes. And if it does, this is a great price, which was the only point I was making. There are countless posts about whether any cruise will go this year, but that was not the thrust of this thread. So let's stay on topic, thanks.

Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted March 20, 2021 #5 Share Posted March 20, 2021 It is against CC guidelines to offer or to request sending TA information off line. I'm sorry, but that is a hard and fast rule. Repeated violations can lead to being banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted March 20, 2021 #6 Share Posted March 20, 2021 You guys won't listen and keep asking about TAs. So this thread has to be shut down. Play by the rules you accepted when you joined CC!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
