Hi guys 

If you had a chance to do the 28 night cruise circumnavigation around Australia would you do the:-

October, 2022 cruise on coral OR

March, 2023 cruise on the Majestic.

Cheers.

We’re on the Oct 22 one. We’re also booked on the Feb 24 one on Coral. Wasn’t originally intentional to book both, just we were waitlisted on October with not much thought it would materialise, and then Feb 24 got released and we and heap friends booked it. Next thing Oct got a waitlist match for balcony and next thing we decided we’d do this one and still kept other one cos we’d plenty of time to cancel if need be! 
If they gave us an out for October we’d take it!!!!

I haven't done the whole trip and have only been on the Majestic so far, my Coral cruise is in September, but IMHO I would think March a nicer time of year on average for both the north and the south.

March probably would have an edge on Oct, but not by much.

For time of year their both probably good times to go.

 

As for ships???? From my experiance with different ship sizes, I prefer the Sun and Coral class ships.

But have sailed two grand class ships and there was not that much difference in the sailing experience between the different sized ships, except for the number of people.

So it would seem to depend on your preferences in Pax size, and any other issues with the timing of cruising.

Thats my two bobs worth...

pps: after checking signature make that 2012.... oooh so long ago...
