Just booked Luminosa TP Seattle-Brisbane for next year!

[kwokpot]

Pretty excited that we just booked the Luminosa for next year's TP from Seattle back to Brisbane,AU. A 30!!!!cruise with some amazing ports;

2 in Alaska.  5 in Japan, 1 in the Philippines, 1 in Indonesia, ending in Brisbane. And the best part, it's a comped Casino cruise!!! Sept.14-Oct. 15, 2023.

I'm jealous - that's an awesome itenerary (with Seattle being our closest port, we were looking at that cruise recently).  Unfortunately, I can't be gone from work that long.

That's fantastic!  And 20 days at sea!! Looking forward to your review!!

I will be the cruise of the year for Carnival. The ship looks beautiful. I am booked and looking forward to five ports in Japan. I figured since I have always wanted to see the Barrier Reef, why not stay aboard and do that. Just today I book a third cruise on Luminosa going to New Caledonia. A bucket list place for me. Nice trip. I will board once in Seattle, unpack, and live the life for 44 days before packing and flying back to the USA.

Wow!!  That is an incredible cruise as well!  Doing a review, I hope?

[Theosprey247]

All I can say is wow!

[kelkel2]

Wow, that’s an incredible itinerary. You should do a live trip report!

Apply for your Australian visa in a timely manner, and make sure you still have 6 months remaining on your passport.

Outstanding trip, wish we were joining you on that

I just booked the TP voyage as well, got a super great deal on a suite and grabbed it!  I see that the spa has a thelassotherapy pool.  Was hoping the suites come with spa passes but no such luck, only the spa suites do.  
 

Other than a passport is there a VISA requirement?  Right now I am planning on going home to US after we dock in Brisbane.  I will possibly stop in HI for a few days on the way back as I have never been there.

 

Also did anyone notice the odd itinerary excursion in Alaska for Tracy Arm?  Tracy Arm isn’t in the itinerary but they are showing an excursion tour of Sawyer Glacier available for purchase.  I purchased it in case it is not a glitch.  That particular excursion is a must do and usually sells out.  I hope it’s not a mistake and more will be revealed later.  Tracy Arm is not in the itinerary but Hubbard is.  It’s odd, I admit.

 

It’s a solo cruise for me. 😀

Did you book as a premier? I got a great offer on this cruise and wished we could work out the timing.

A terrific 30 day voyage!

 

Congratulations!

No, we had that offer but booked under a better offer- Plan Now Play Later - Up To A Free Balcony Room (FVB).

Lucky Ducky! Suites aren't showing up anymore!

Got the same (FVB) offer. Free drinks everywhere on a 30 day cruise is pretty sweet! The premier offer wasn't that great.

I wish it was an Elite offer. The high speed Wifi package for 2 people is over $800 for the cruise.OOOF!

I just added a second cruise to my Australia plans in May 2024, first up is a 9 day South Pacific followed by a 10 day barrier reef cruise. A 19 day B2B from Sydney for $2700 total with $1100 OBC and free drinks in the casino for me and hubby. I booked a lido balcony first leg and an aft balcony for the second. We both had casino offers and I should have enough AA miles for free airfare, score!

I'll take that over the $6,000 flights just to get back to Maine! LOL

Gotta accumulate Frequent flyer miles. If you sign up for a new airlines affiliated CC there's bonus miles given. It will be about 40,000pts/pp to fly back from Australia.

I also saw that, and I bought it too on the chance they are tweaking the itinerary.
