Always book last minute.
you usually get a good deal

That’s Great for local cruises (I don’t know where you live)! , we live less than 1hr from Sydney (Australia) OPT. But if it’s further afield and or you need flights etc that usually doesn’t work, flights can be super expensive “if” you can get one

Fiiiiinally  some sanity being spoken 

I know every one is wanting to go cruising but it’s just not going to happen 🙅‍♀️ any time soon

Save your money and think about something else for a looong time

Unless you want to book a couple of years ahead and then who knows that itinerary may no longer exist and its probably  not available at this time anyway 

🤔😫😪🚢🥂🍾

They want full payment upfront - with all the issues people are having getting refunds I personally will look very carefully in the future at cancellations fees etc. I don't think I could pay a non-refundable deposit of a large amount ever again.

Have you given any thought to were they are going to get the crew from

many are still stick on ships waiting to get home

IMHO this is wishful thinking. Sorry 😪😪

I spoke to my TA yesterday.  She said she has been inundated with requests for bookings on the Sapphire Princess.  Hoping to get on the 17 day Perth to Sydney.  Great prices, but have a feeling they will rise dramatically due to volume of interest.  

Hoping to get a Premium Balcony at under $3000pp

In MHO that sounds expensive, for what is happening evewhere,  we are on Queen Elizabeth $2100 good grade unobstructed balcony 27 days

Thank You

From my experience with the new VP, the cabin assignment will take some time - much closer to sailing - and then they will only be able to see it once their documents, and luggage tags are ready to be printed from the VP. The cabin number will be on their e-ticket and the luggage tags.

 

Please what is VP

I do hope so and that we are available to go on them

big difference to overnight in cairns dock versus yorkys knob

 

i was interested when i seen cairns O.night,but its a long shuttle bus from the knob to

 

cairns downtown.not worth the effort for me

When it says Cairns it usually means Yorky’S, unless you are on a small ship, the others can’t get in

best to organise an over night hotel than try doing the tenders both days, wastes too much time

the rain forest areas in the mountains  behind Cairns are very beautiful

Certainly makes it more difficult.

We are extremely lucky, we only live 30 minutes by car from the OPT, friends drop us off and pick us up

OR we could catch the train directly to Circular.Quay

I noticed the noordam Xmas cruise is now on sale. $1499 for 14 nights!

What is the itinerary please

I think you will find that the cabins are the same size. Go on to deck plans and the size of the cabins is usually there

good luck and enjoy

No, but they often do good deals on trips. I have used them before for a USA fly/cruise tour. USA National park tour followed by Alaska cruise. All went well except there were 52 in the group. No spare seats on coach but no problem once on board ship.

Thanks lyndarra i had seen this before but forget where it was

Great deal, but allow $250pp extra for mandatory land portion tipping

plus ship tips if you wish to participate, we always remove them from our A/C and tip whom we wish
