aussiedisneyfan Posted March 15, 2006 #2 Share Posted March 15, 2006 We booked our flights independently through Virgin Blue. It was only slightly cheaper at the time we booked. You seem to get better flight specials from Sydney than Canberra so I would imagine it would be much cheaper to book yourself. I am not sure about the transfers to/from hotels. If you fly in on the day on it is really easy. There are P*O reps wandering around botht the Qantas and Virgin arrivals to gude you to buses. It is free and seems to be a much easier option than the transit centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davoni Posted March 16, 2006 #3 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane – Air Packages: Transfers included between airport and ship (and vice versa) on day of embarkation or disembarkation only. – Hotel Packages: Transfers included between hotel and ship (and vice versa) on day of embarkation or disembarkation only. – Air and Hotel Packages: There are no transfers available between airport and hotel (or vice versa). However, transfers are provided between the hotel and ship (and vice versa). Luvvin - this might help.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our TA says P&O will only do Airport-Ship transfers for airport arrivals up to 10am. (we have a 2pm dept. on Star). We have a very early departure from Cairns, but decided to risk it & not stay o'night in Brisbane, prefering to use the money saved, on the cruise.

aussiedisneyfan Posted March 16, 2006 #5 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Tropical showers, are you sure that's what P&O said about the times. We caught a shuttle at 10.30am and they had told us that it was only after 10am they went straight to the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
