Not long now & a lot of our fleet will be back off overseas for their summer season....

 

Still two months, I am sure there will be some really great last minute sales on some of these cruises.:D

[RosieCanberra]

Too bad it is a Xmas cruise.:( I have family commitments.

 

And you are already booked on a NYE cruise......

Woohoo.:D

If anyone is interested in a repositioning on Voyager, Explorer or Legend this coming April, Royal Caribbean are having a 72 hour flash sale - ends 10am Friday 26th. Don't know if they are actually bigger specials, but they seem pretty cheap for an inside Gty.

If mrs Gur can snag two days off work, there is a good one 8 days change from $800 for a balcony.

great hope she can get the time off work. we are in a kind of similar dilemma over the next few months.

I can see those two days being of great work experience for a junior teacher to take over, hehe! but I understand some bosses don't see it like this.

And to make it worse she just had to ask for the day of the school fair (it's compulsory AND huge) off as I booked Fawlty Towers that day.

 

So she is a bit hesitant to ask for to days off, now she could always take a sickie.

Balcony for under $100 is a great deal.

Not wrong.

 

If it was Celebrity it Princess wouldnt even be thinking about it, it'd be done.

Here's a special that is not usually mentioned here.....

 

Anybody interested in doing a River Cruise...........Viking are having a HUGE sale at the moment which lasts until 29 Feb. If you are thinking of doing the Danube (Budapest to Amsterdam or visa versa), then check this out........

 

15 day river cruise, includes port tours, gratuities plus Silver drinks package in November is $2898 per person!!!! The usual cost of these cruises are around $7000 and I have never seen this cruise at this price. And Viking are one of the top notch river cruise lines.....they operate more than 50 ships!!

 

If November doesn't suit, the same cruise is for sale on selected cruises at $3698 in October or $3798 in July. These prices themselves are excellent.

 

We have cruised with Viking before and they are very, very good. Excellent service and outstanding food. And river cruising is a completely different concept to ocean cruising. We really enjoyed it.

Click on the "see dates and pricing" tab and follow it from there. They also have other river cruises on sale as well. Obviously, there is no air with these prices but a river cruise for under AUD$200 per day per person is an absolute bargain.

 

You will have to ring them to book......1800 131 744.

Dad wants to take William on a river cruise next Christmas but I think a 7 year old is a bit young to do a river cruise but hey if he's paying.........
