Newcastle sounds more interesting than I thought it would be. I am keen on Greenland and Iceland, two of the few places we haven't been to. 😊 Things like which airline and flights, which hotels at each end, are transfers included etc. Also how big a deposit and when final payment is.

Flights aren't booked yet because schedules aren't available more than a year in advance. The airline is likely to be Cathay or Emirates. It has to be one that flies both into New York and London. If the passenger doesn't like the suggested airline they can choose another carrier and pay any difference in price. Also if the passenger wants more time in NY or London, they can pay the additional cost. Transfers are not included. Hotels are good. In NY it is the Hotel Beacon. I saw on line that the per night price for us to book is in the mid $600s per night. In London it is H10 London Waterloo. These are rated at three to four star. We have now booked this trip. Using our Princess FCD we had to pay $600 deposit for two people. The next payment in early October when the airfares are booked. Final payment is 22nd April, 2020. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good work, sounds like you have done what I would do and research the deals o that you can then make an informed decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MargoK Posted June 5, 2019 #4529 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Nice discount on the Ruby Princess 30th Dec for Kiwis. Managed to re fare our Obstructed Ocean view cabin and saved over $1700! Goes to show daily checking pays sometimes. Not sure how long it will last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often see it talked about, but I have no idea how you go about it. Do you have to cancel the original booking and rebook? If so, do you lose OBC or deposit, and maybe also risk losing your chosen cabin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if that helped or not. Lost the perks on the original booking but not a biggie. OBC was the same lost specialty dining and bottle of wine. Kept our accessible cabin. Our friend opted to change cabins. It does depend on the 'special' conditions are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icat2000 Posted June 21, 2019 Author #4550 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I put a hold on majestic sailing out of Auckland on 27 December. Going to see if we can get offship in Melbourne rather than Sydney saves us flights from Sydney if possible. Just book inside guaranteed. Fingers crossed Pete work lets him have time off otherwise might have to go solo. Haha sarah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
