I'm having an issue with Carnival not yet moving my FCC over to this booking because it's solo. The cancelled cruise was a family cabin. Hubby had to fill in a form but still waiting for approval. And I'm cruising on Saturday so can't chase it up while I'm away. Ggrrgghh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem I have with this Lumo 6th Nov trip is that I paid the difference between the full balance owing and my FCC balance. And they are taking their time in moving my FCC over because hubby isn't on this cruise. But that "Final Payment" balance due is due on Monday, and I won't be here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same with the first Pacific Explorer cruises back, and couldn't get 2 x cancelled deposits from other cruises moved over in time. I did get told that when I booked though, and unlike FCC, they just became an everyday refund a couple of weeks later. I guess they are happy to do so, but someone needs to find that form in their inbox first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare aussielozzie18 Posted September 14, 2022 #207 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Thanks for the heads up on this. Booked it. Flying up from Sydney. Can you locals or regular cruisers from Bris supply suggestions for hotel stay for 2. Just looking for standard accommodation that is in an appropriate location for airport/cruise terminal. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I can cruise that one balcony solo for $199, or the first 7 nighter for $446 solo balcony, or 11 nights NZ for $607 solo balcony. I was doing some extra digging to make room for the first one - my flights from Newcastle would be almost as much as the 7 night cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few others a but closer for the airport, with some also doing the free cruise shuttle when arranged with the booking. There has been a couple of active threads here over the past month or two, the most recent one - 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More reasonable prices coming up the day before, but then there is accommodation to add. Maybe they will let me pitch a tent in the Wilson car park for a 1 day fee? I think my promo doesn't end till the 23rd, but I have pretty much put a line through it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would be the going rate for a 7 nighter solo balcony for a regular passenger? No airfares for Brisbane departure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the current high price for domestic airfares, not having to fly is a big advantage for Brisbane passengers to be tempted! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No airfares for Brisbane departure! Depends on a couple of things. The super duper restricted promo = $446, with no solo supplement being charged on the first 5 or 6 cruises. The regular pricing on the three early 7 nighters seems to be just under $900, also with no solo supplement. For mid December onward, regular pricing shapes around $2500, back to a 180%+ solo supplement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDaze71 Posted September 16, 2022 #221 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Now that I have booked the Solo Obstructed Interior at $853 for the 6th Nov, I don't want to look at the prices because I will kick myself as they drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
