Kiwi Kruzer Posted May 22, 2013 #477 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Celebrity have a Fly Free Sale on at the moment on flights to/from NZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need_a_holiday Posted May 22, 2013 #478 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Celebrity offer is good, they cruise from Australia to Nz and you fly home, free flights to Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane. Surcharge for Perth or Adelaide. The catch is it needs Ito be balcony room or higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aus 13 Feb 2014. $999 per person not including transfers & grats. You would get the return flight & hotel for that price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

need_a_holiday Posted May 22, 2013 #481 Share Posted May 22, 2013 There are a few good mariner deals online, the ship has been refurbished and is equivalent to Voyager. Most of the prices are quoted ex-Perth - do you know the price out of Sydney or Melbourne? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MMDown Under Posted May 28, 2013 #485 Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) MSC's current special - 16 days Rio (Brazil) to Genoa from 11/3/2014 Inside 1520 for 2 Outside 1870 for 2 Balcony 1920 for 2 They will even book one way flights to Brazil and home from Italy, which is always a problem with one way flights with TA's. In my experience, no other cruise line comes close to offering such good specials in advance. MSC were meant to be coming to Australia. It is a pity about the delay as they would introduce modern ships and much needed competition. No need to look for price drops. Just pay a special price straight up!

Cause look like everything sold out on Celebrity site. for 20 November sailing As far as I know they have been out the usual amount of time. It may be saying sold out to allow TA's to organize and sell packages . If you are interested get a TA to check it out, more than one if the first one does not know what to do. You could be wait listed , or find that suddenly space becomes available after final payment is due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been watching the Volendam prices for the cruise Vancouver to Sydney, leaving 25 September, I wonder how much more they go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted June 1, 2013 #497 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Early bird pricing is great when you can plan ahead and there is that special (really popular but stand alone itinerary). Last Minute deals are fabulous when you can't and can go at a moments notice.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassamanda Posted June 2, 2013 #498 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Have been looking at Royal's itineraries and the best value there would have to be the Voyager sailing from Sydney to Perth via NZ (both islands) 18 nights on 9 Mar 14. Insides from $91 pd. Other than that Royal has reduced its visit to NZ from 10 to 8 for the 2014/15 season mostly by Voyager on very basic itineraries.

Bowie MeMe Posted June 3, 2013 #499 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Thanks I just curious. I've been watching the Volendam prices for the cruise Vancouver to Sydney, leaving 25 September, I wonder how much more they go down. icat just wondering what your plan is with the Auckland Sydney and then the Vancouver to Beijing. Sounds so fabulous but what are the connections? We were in Beijing Oct 7, 2012 before the Diamond Princess cruise from Bangkok to Beijing. It was just beyond fabulous and the weather was wonderful early in October and all the flowers from Oct. Golden Week were really special though the crowds thankfully had gone home (millions in BJ for Golden Week and the whole country takes off for holiday) By early November it had gotten cold, the pollution clouds started and I had a bad cold so coming back to BJ was not so great but we were heading home so endured. Enjoy BJ and if you need a great tour guide we had a man named Stephen who really showed us a wonderful time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icat2000 Posted June 3, 2013 #500 Share Posted June 3, 2013 (edited) icat just wondering what your plan is with the Auckland Sydney and then the Vancouver to Beijing. There is no connection. The Auckland to Sydney cruise is seperate. I'm just popping back to see some family and instead of flying going to cruise back. As for the Vancouver to Beijing cruise on the Diamond. Well I'm holding a booking on the Anchorage to Beijing leg with FCC, however, only waitlisted for Vancouver to Anchorage leg. I have been looking at alternatives like the Voldendam. I haven't made up my mind either way. Though it will have to happen soon. But I want to wait to see what happens pricing wise. I might not even clear the wait list. The pricing on the Voldendam is starting to look attractive. I already have flights to Vancouver. Edited June 3, 2013 by icat2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
