B'Elanna Posted January 25 #5929 Share Posted January 25 Damn - even solo (for $2,389) is a bargain for this ship...... I was booked for an April one but solo, it was over $450 a night in an inside cabin. (I did end up cancelling that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve just found a verandah cabin supposedly for $1490 (oceanview and interior are 3 and 4 times this price)! However, trying to find a cabin for that price doesn’t seem possible.

I am a solo cruiser but never pay a single supplement as I receive offers of “no single supplement”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydney Harbour is unique, one of a kind. Brisbane has better quality of life for families than Sydney does. The islands off Brisbane are beautiful - Moreton Island and Stradbroke Island. So once you leave the Brisbane River, the cruise past the sand hills of Moreton Island and up the Caloundra Passage is beautiful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rassa Posted February 18 #5940 Share Posted February 18 13 hours ago, rkmw said: the air fare home is as dear as the cruise 1 hour ago, ceeceeDee said: Isn't it always the way!🙄 The airfare home from the cheap Celebrity cruise is about $1500 plus. I was also interested in the cruise until I looked at the fares home. It would have been about $4000 total and that included a balcony with the fares back home. No saving to be made in the end. I am on a transpacific back home in October. The airfares from Melb to Hawaii was about $600 each and that included better seats and food. Total $4000 again.

Rare arxcards Posted February 18 #5941 Share Posted February 18 Even return airfares from Newcastle to Brisbane last year were going to be more expensive than 7 nights solo on Luminosa. I guess that by the time airfares have normalised that the prices of relocation cruises will shoot-up to match. Oh well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bargain. Definitely, and a good opportunity to spend a few days in Hawaii as well before flying home. We're doing a relocation cruise in October from Hawaii to Auckland and will have a few days soaking up the friendly Hawaiian culture and sun before the relaxing cruise home. Often it's about having a good holiday even though an airfare is involved 🌞 🍹 🥳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare arxcards Posted March 8 #5944 Share Posted March 8 You know those offers where you get up to $500 OBC, but you find out that when you choose your itinerary & cabin you are only going to get $100 or less? Current Carnival QV8 promo for past cruisers (valid VIFP number), there is a $500 OBC promo available till May 6th. I just looked at a 3 nighter for next Feb, and it showed $500 OBC per cabin. I checked as a chosen inside cabin - still $500 OBC. So, the deal I spot for 3 nights Luminosa on 6th Feb 2025 is for a midship inside cabin on deck 7. Room total = $968 and comes with $500 OBC. Even nicer - Deck 4 aft balcony = $1088 and comes with $500 OBC. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just had a deck 5 this time slightly smaller by about a foot but still bigger than the regular ones. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that time the price has gone up around $10 per day. The price on the category we were looking at has gone back to last years price, and the OBC will pay for steakhouse, internet & drinks so it pretty much becomes an inclusive price. We decided to book this afternoon, so we have this one followed by Diamond Princess, split by a night in Brisbane. Maybe they will let us sleep on those park benches outside the terminal. For $1750, I have bit the bullet for an Ocean Suite, with views to the side & aft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame it's not like a hotel where you could do late check-out and early check-in, and party in between 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icat2000 Posted March 9 Author #5949 Share Posted March 9 Carnival got some good deals. I've still getting offers for $1000 OBC on some cruises. But I can't pull the trigger because I have to fly to either Sydney or Brisbane and the crusies dont interest me. Its depressing looking for cruises when your home port is Melbourne. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resordanis Posted March 9 #5950 Share Posted March 9 I have been getting for a few months some amazing Casino deals from Carnival. Unfortunately only inside cabins (which we cannot do). Considering I have never been on Carnival I am surprised by the offers, just wishing they would offer at least an outside! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
