PO Australia must be struggling to fill their ships.

Check your emails!  P&O have sent another email saying prices incorrect but still stating Guest 2 FREE.

Unbelievable cheap prices but a bit sad to see them have to offer prices this low.

I received the email and also found it on an Oz site so available for all.

Ports in Florida, etc have special deals available for locals all the time.  The main thing is to have enough passengers on their cruise ships to keep them viable.

Unless its a really unique itinerary. I'm not booking when they release. I think I wait until baragins come in. And so far there a lot if you start looking 3-4 out up until cruise leaves.

I have already received a special deal for Luminosa for 7 days GBR in January, like I just did from 4/12.

I have had a few emails from them. But I don't want to hike up to Brisbane unless I can put a b2b together. I look for deals out of Sydney.

Lack of takers for Singapore on Encounter - not so cheap flights home. I prefer to look at this version.

$1074pp twin includes $75 each OBC and premium drinks package. I am not sure of the current drinks package price, but reckon when those two are added it more than cancels out the fare.

 

The return 14 night cruise in Feb is an extra night for an extra $100, also with the same OBC and drinks packages.

Cheaper than staying at home at $53 a night.😵 P&O are having trouble filling their ships.

I'm almost tempted to go solo. But I wont. They should have started discounting these cruises 6 months ago. 😄

What is the solo price?

I guess 2 x per person. I haven't really looked further into it.

No single supplement was the big attraction of Carnival Luminosa's deals for solo travellers.

Got an amazing deal yesterday on Azamara - Perth to Hong Kong leaving Perth on 19 Feb 23.  Was to good not to take it up.  Saw the deal at 2 am in the morning, booked and paid for by 7.30 am on the same day.  Easy as falling off a log.

Bon Voyage.  Great itinerary!  Have you cruised on Azamara before?  I cruised with them to SEAsia.

Second cruise on Azamara Quest, last one was many years ago, Singapore to Hong Kong via Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam.  Once of the best cruises ever, love the ship and itinerary.  Had New Years Eve in Saigon, ship was docked in the city and had the best party ever on a ship.   We usually go on larger ships but this cruise was leaving Perth (our home town) and the deal was just too good to pass up.

Not sure if these are considered a bargain or not - Carnival Luminosa has 4 x 7 night cruises departing Brisbane for the South Pacific in Feb/March 2023 in a Balcony cabin at prices ranging from $726-$776pp twin share.  Price varies slightly depending on date - 2 dates in Feb and 2 dates in March 2023.

(Balcony for the price of an Oceanview).

These are the prices I am seeing for much of the remaining cruises of the season. The last one is a doozy.
