icat2000 Posted June 6, 2018 Author #4077 Share Posted June 6, 2018 This is not an el cheapo post .... as yet. I was looking up the prices for the Celebrity Solstice cruise from Honolulu to Sydney on 1 October 2018. The prices are anything but cheap at this stage, with lowest grade of unobstructed balcony sitting on $5501. but ... there seems to be a lot of unsold balcony cabins - 63 in fact. I think this might be ripe for a major price drop in a while. I remember the Solstice got down to $130 AU per day for a balcony cabin either last year or the year before. so keep a watch folks. Seems to be a lot of unsold cabins for Celebrity on various cruises. Also a lot of other lines have a lot of cabins to move. I'm wanting to sail on the Golden Princess out of Melbourne for Xmas at there is a LOT of unsold cabins but I'm not paying $2,800 pp for inside cabin. So I wait and watch.

It maybe because there are so many ships heading out this way......there is soooooo much choice now for us. Which is a very good thing!!! But I agree that the prices are currently very high. Apart from P&O, I struggle to find too many cruise lines that advertise cruises for $100 per person per day anymore. A couple of years ago, they were very prevalent. Just an observation. I wonder if the cruise lines have all got together over a coffee and decided to stop discounting cruises for the Australian public!. Last minute cruises may be the exception though. I am watching a couple on the Majestic and they are also a little high for us, so we will "wait and watch" as well!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was confused by the first email but hav now sorted it out. And my IT literacy is not good either.

datone Posted June 11, 2018 #4080 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Surely this would have to be a cruise first at this low price. Ex Sydney. This 13 night Mediterranean Fly/Stay/Cruise holiday is going for an unheard of price – just $1799pp! Departing 26 November 2018, this fabulously priced holiday will begin with flights from Australia to Barcelona, where you’ll enjoy a 2 night hotel stay before embarking on a 7 night cruise onboard MSC Meraviglia. You’ll visit Marseille, Genoa, Civitavecchia, Palermo and Valletta before returning to Barcelona for another 1 night hotel stay before heading home.

B'Elanna Posted June 12, 2018 #4082 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I sent this one to my cruise friends as well this morning. I also had one person tell me "It's winter". Well lots of advantages to going in winter - I pointed out that Spain and Italy have christmas markets..... I would have done this if I weren't already booked for Austria and Germany at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have done this if I weren't already booked for Austria and Germany at the same time. Having done Europe in Winter before, that doesn't bother us. It is the flights and airlines that they might use and the time to get to Barcelona that bother me! Fantastic deal and had us thinking that is for sure.

Esilef Posted June 14, 2018 #4084 Share Posted June 14, 2018 We are doing a similar cruise in September and spent close to that on airfares to Barcelona. The Christmas markets in Europe are amazing. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are thinking of a Med cruise at sometime , it’s worth while to get onto the MSC mailing lst. They have an office in Sydney for cruising and come up with some great deals for Aussies and Kiwis.

MSC Australia packages some very good packages of b2b cruises on different ships, with hotels and airfares. Great way to see the med and also experience MSC.

I've just been on the RCI website and best I can come up with is (for 2) $7025 top end, and (for 2) $7994 bottom end. Not getting anything near like $6,000. May I ask where you were researching?
