With Carnival being very American and the cruise ending in the land of stars & stripes, the transpacific is treated as an American sailing. As Bob posted, daily grats added and onboard currency for this cruise is $US. Also the 18% grats added to bars and specialty meals. The US bar prices plus grats usually squares-off pretty well with the flat $AU prices we pay. Not a deal breaker, but those daily grats add a fair bit to the otherwise bargain price.

I bet there is a line up then at Guest Services, removing gratuities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare arxcards Posted January 17, 2023 #5664 Share Posted January 17, 2023 I just noticed that the 24/25 season is online for Luminosa. Maybe it has been there a while and I hadn't noticed. No super specials like those running for this season, but $120 per night/person isn't too bad for a starting price for something two years away. 24th November 2024 cruise to PNG has a big plus included - 2 stops at Conflict Islands 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully there will be last minute specials when cruising is more settled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully there will be last minute specials when cruising is more settled. Story of my life. While both of us work and with very different schedules and employers, we have to lock our dates for anything more than a week way in advance. If an opportunity comes up, we will jump on something more last minute, but they are usually short breaks. When cruising has settled, there will still be last minute deals, but not as generous as the ones this season, and usually for the ones nobody wants to do. When it is more normal, the reluctant ones will come back. Itineraries will always change, but usually at the last minute anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Boss and I are booked to NZ mid March on the Pacific Explorer and friends are keen to jump on board with us. The current deal is pretty good (base fare $1374pp inside guarantee with $150 OBC) but they were hoping for another flash sale in the next few weeks. Do these sales come thick and fast or will they have likely missed the boat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does seem that the flash sales are for Brisbane and on Luminosa Sydney embarkation do not get so many good cheap fares so if you are happy with that and it is pretty good grab it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
