Sun Princess Relocation cruise ..

Sydney to Kobe.

Some great sale prices have been released for this cruise.

 

(At least for you get time to shop around for a cheap one way air fare back, instead of of being trapped into a last minute air fare.)

 

 

 

We're booked on this one - $100 a day per person for an inside cabin.

 

Also today we booked Diamond Princess leaving on 26 Apr for 10 nights from Tokyo around Japan back to Tokyo (called Golden Week cruise). This wasn't real cheap as it is a popular time in Japan but it fits in with the 1st cruise which arrives in Kobe on 21st Apr. Princess have just dropped the price from $2465 to $1749 per person inside cabin. The balcony cabin is now cheaper than an outside one.

 

Now to look out for a cheap flight home to the Gold Coast on Jetstar.

Holland America 14 day Sydney to Auckland - only $899 inside or $1299 balcony. Departing 10 November. Doesn't seem too bad a price!

 

Thats a great price...if I wasn't already on the Solstice I would have gone for that...HAL ships are very nice.

Yep, that's a really good one!

 

Just a pity they're not like that later in the season... but that's when everyone can travel, so that's just wishful thinking!

Just received this deal for next February 2014:

 

QUEEN VICTORIA Santiago to Brisbane or Sydney

21 or 23 nights FROM $1,415 - $68 PER NIGHT!

Fly/Stay/Cruise packages available.

 

The airfares are more than the cruise :(

 

Its unbelievable...especially whenyou consider how many hours you are on a plane and how many DAYS on the ship:D

Cunard must also be having issues with the Australian circumnavigation as they are having another 10 day sale. Last one (with brilliant prices ) was just in August.

 

One site has a QE cruise for $4900 including airfare -Chile to Brisbane. Lots of sea days.

For those looking for a taste of luxury cruising I think these Crystal cruises offer a good deal and are heavily discounted - they are "all inclusive" including drinks so little extra to pay

 

V4225 - San Diego to Auckland from US$3135 in Oct/Nov 2014 - 15 days

 

or a combo cruise which carries onto Sydney and is discounted by a further 25% off the single voyage fares at the moment

V4225/4226 - San Diego to Sydney from US$6425 in Nov 2014 - 27 days

A lot of people tend to brush the Luxury Cruise Lines aside and think they are out of reach . However when you add in all the extras that are included , and if you wait for a slale price to come up , they are exceptionally good buying.

We have done 2 Regent cruises and they have been the best ever.......

and not that much more than you would pay on a mass market line.

 

With overseas markets still recovering from the Global Financial Downturn there should be some very good deals around this ,and next year.

I booked directly with Celebrity. Though I just did another check on the prices and they have gone up a bit since we booked on Wednesday.

I did also check with my US TA and the prices were pretty much the same.

"HAL has a budget 7 day cruise in the Eastern Caribbean advertised $399

RCL has a budget 7 day cruise in the Eastern Caribbean advertised $399

Celebrity has a budget 7 day cruise in the Eastern Caribbean for $599

All are inside prices for November.

When is hurricane season up there?

 

Now!

 

I met some folk from Fort Lauderdale on a cruise once and they said they always cruise during the hurricane season as thats when they are almost paid to cruise. They said they had never had any trouble as the ships just go around the storms and the itineraries can be changed at the drop of a hat.

However I imagine it would be fairly cloudy and windy , and those storms seem to be getting bigger and wilder each year:eek:
