Happy to see that she is coming back for 2023/24 season so will try again. I would like to try Disney but it's so expensive. Actually, the prices on Celebrity have soared as well. We are doing the Edge in February on a much deferred cruise (Covid), and I couldn't afford to book our room now. The price has doubled. I meant 24/25 season. Whoops.

Rare MMDown Under Posted October 4, 2023 Author #69 Share Posted October 4, 2023 I just spent five nights in Sydney. This was the first time I didn't see any cruise ships, much to my disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all of the current complaints with other cruise lines, the only complaint I have with Disney is the price. We haven't sailed with our kids (now adults) in over 10 years, but we love the adult areas of the ship. Disney has service like no other. We're doing a B2B on Princess in Australia/New Zealand this year (23 nights) for half the price of a Disney Cruise. For port intensive cruises, we choose Princess. For sea days and a ship experience, we choose Disney. Interesting comment that Disney is best value for sea days and a ship experience. I agree Disney isn't just for children, My girls continued to visit Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida well into adulthood for the magical Disney experience. I'd love to cruise Disney, if it wasn't so expensive in Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What days? Pac Adventure was in Sydney on Saturday, Splendor on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually write the names of visiting ships in my diary, but got out of the habit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A deep water port a good stopping distance between Cairns and Darwin. On some of the most scenic parts of the Arnhem Land coast. Town in the doldrums since the refinery shut down. That is an excellent suggestion as a stopover between Cairns and Darwin. I met an interesting group of elders from Nhulunbuy at the Woodford Folk Festival. It would be great to create employment for locals. I also enjoy Thursday Island/Horn Island, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
