aussiedisneyfan Posted March 22, 2006 #1 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I just received an email from cruiseabout saying that the Star would be starting a trip around Australian on 3 November 2007. Couldn't see anything on P&O's website. Has anyone else heard anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawberrypatch11 Posted March 22, 2006 #2 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I just read the article on cruise about. Very interesting. Would maybe turn out cheaper for us aussies who want to cruise for longer but can't afford to do world voyage trips! :D I couldn't see anything on the P&O website either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karmac Posted March 22, 2006 #3 Share Posted March 22, 2006 That would be a great cruise to do. Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_a Posted March 22, 2006 #4 Share Posted March 22, 2006 i just read that that press release has been recalled... dont know if this means that the cruise is cancelled or just going to be different dates. It speculates that with the press release being recalled that P&O maybe up to something involving the shuffling of their fleet (also given Pac Sky is leaving soon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil_a Posted March 24, 2006 #11 Share Posted March 24, 2006 strawberrypatch11 - "The industry is abuzz with rumours ...after the company retracted Gavin Smith’s announcement yesterday that Pacific Star would circumnavigate the continent in November next year...P&O Cruises Australia has advised that news of a Pacific Star Round Australia Cruise announced yesterday have altered due to a cruise scheduling change." pommiepom- its always an idea to check the port bookings to see when a ship is due in at different places... ie if you see pacific star due to arrive in adelaide or perth then you can bet its going around oz!

newbie_sailor_88 Posted March 25, 2006 #12 Share Posted March 25, 2006 pacific princess usually does the round australia stuff. seems abit unusual for the star to do it. but hey what ever floats your boat!lol:D :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbie_sailor_88 Posted March 25, 2006 #13 Share Posted March 25, 2006 they never advertise the round australia cruises on the P&O website. last year when the princess did it there was nothing in any book or online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_a Posted March 26, 2006 #14 Share Posted March 26, 2006 newbie_sailor_88 - i think you will find that was because the ship was on charter to a certain group of travel agents... hence why it wasnt advertised thru P&O Australia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb_in_Aussie Posted March 27, 2006 #15 Share Posted March 27, 2006 As a TA, I can advise the cruise is still listed in the P&O agent reservation system and pre registrations are being taken. I will advise when I receive more news. Deb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbie_sailor_88 Posted March 31, 2006 #16 Share Posted March 31, 2006 wow deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb_in_Aussie Posted April 6, 2006 #17 Share Posted April 6, 2006 I have spoken to P&O today as bookings were meant to open to the public today. Apparently they are doing some itinerary changes and now they do not know when bookings will open. I am monitoring the situation on a daily basis and will advise as soon as I hear more.
