Just got the third confirmation!

 

 

Fantastic! Hope you and your family have a wonderful cruise.

Edit: Sorry, was so excited that I forgot to answer the question. Yeah, this shouldn't affect our days at all, since it's less than 30 days and begins/ends in Australia.

 

 

Great! So you got your cruise and can also see your mum. Bonus

[circuitrider]

Thanks all. Just made the actual payments. Still have to book airfare, but that shouldn't be an issue. If anyone runs into my mom, don't tell her that it was cheaper if she came with us. I told her we were paying for her cruise (I mean, TECHNICALLY I am...). It's all good, we're covering some of her airfare too.

 

Awesome price, and we've been on Voyager before and enjoyed it (Freedom of the Seas spoiled us a bit though). Too bad it doesn't visit Christchurch, but for that price I'm not complaining.

Great price.

I know a few who would have jumped at that, I had also looked at that cruise a year back but booked something else.:D

We booked that March 16 Voyager of the Seas cruise.

 

What is the best way to get from Freemantle to Perth Airport. Taxi, bus? How much should we expect to pay?

 

Thanks

Very difficult and fiddly by public transport The taxi will cost up to $50 depending on time of day Early morning is slightly less

Agreed, there is a train to Perth CBD and also ferries and then a bus from Perth CBD to the airport, with luggage in tow, makes it quite difficult. I would see if there is a shuttle organised by the ship and check the price or just take a taxi.:D

Look at ship shuttle.

 

Taxi will be expensive $75 or close too if in peek hour [now for 4 that might be less than the shuttle].

 

Train to Pert and then bus will be a PITA.

The four times we have used taxi it was between $43 and $50 $75 would be a very bad journey or a bad taxi driver

was being a bt cautions a few years ago 6 I think ours was $60 or $65 and I figured with a bit of inflation and a bit more traffic $75 would be close, and yes it was a B of a trip. Road works and an accident, things you can't know about but that can add $$$$$ to the taxi cost.

The train and bus are okay though, if you prefer to go that way. Decent service on both. Just depends what you prefer.

The trouble is there is still a gap between Perth airport and Perth station and this also would need a bus (2) or a taxi

[MicCanberra]

Airport shuttles for $15 from Perth CBD to the airport and back are also available.:D

Fremantle train goes to Perth CBD, and the bus also goes from there, a couple of blocks away (level) as I recall...?

Hi all,

 

I picked up a bargain today on Carnival Spirit in their 72 hour sale.

27 May - 9 nights Ex Syd Balcony Guarantee for under $800.00pp twin

 

Amazing value. Not travelled Carnival previously, but at that price I couldn't pass it up.

That's a pretty good price. We paid $999 pp for an 11 night balcony guarantee in November. The Music Manila Band in the Club Cool every night are great if you like Rock and Roll and the singers from the show also sing there occasionally. While The Captain watches from the back of the room. The production shows on the Spirit was excellent.
