Here's one for somebody in Sydney who wants to spend a couple of days in Brisbane and/or get two cruises closer to Elite status.

 

Sun Princess, Sydney to Brisbane, 5th March, 2 nights, $185pp for Window.

Sea Princess, Brisbane to Sydney, 10th March, 2 nights, $148pp for Inside.

 

Urgh. I'm actually super tempted. We were thinking of doing a shorty either on Princess or P&O to get over the line with platinum for a longer cruise next year.

 

It's showing $159 for the 10 mar cruise now though so I need to decide super quick....

I thought they only honoured price drops before final payment

Does $10 really make a difference at these prices? 

 

Also, that's likely an upgraded interior cabin. Not a fan of the entry level interiors, down in the dungeon.

We aren't allowed to use the names of travel agencies on Cruise Critic.

 

But I can tell you that Princess Cruises has its own website where the 5th Mar cruise is $199pp and the 10th Mar cruise is $159pp.

[kathysue]

Thank u . I only found 1. I will ring tomorrow 

[losfp]

Yep just on the Princess website.

For two nights, it doesn't really matter.

Not exactly El Cheapo , but for anyone looking for something different ,  Cunard are doing deals on QE leaving  Sydney April 1 {no,not an April Fools Day joke) and arrives in Yokohama on 19th April . Diamond Princess leaves on that same day for an 8 day  cruise from/to Yokohama ...could do a B2B on 2 different ships and then fly home.

It's on the Royal Caribbean website for $1400.

[teecee60]

Booking directly with the cruise line almost guarantees that you will pay more and get less.

 

Right now, that Ovation OTS cruise in listed on a major cruise consolidator website for $815pp for an inside along with $125 in OBC, $815pp for an OV with $125 in OBC,  and $821pp for a balcony with $175 in OBC.
