Given how popular those Northern Explorer Princess cruises are you would think that P&O Oz would have jumped on the bandwagon and put up some of their own. I'm sure that they would sell out, especially in winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balsam12 Posted February 24, 2022 #28 Share Posted February 24, 2022 We have just cancelled a 14 night P & O cruise out of Sydney in October, and replaced it with a 7 Night domestic one out of Brisbane. This was based on the probability of the 14 nighter actually happening because of the international destinations (also the cost saving as we are supposedly heading to Canada next year and have booked an Alaska cruise with Holland America 🙂 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like Brisbane to Darwin but not during summer. Winter would be fantastic. Even our booked cruise to PNG is a bit dicey weather wise - hot and humid. Last time we were in Darwin, ot was the beginning of April and still too hot and humid for us southerners. I have booked a cruises from Brisbane to Tassie. just getting a holiday would be nice on a ship. I have plenty of FF points so flight is no issue . eileen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way would I be on that cruise in June! From Sydney/Brisbane to Perth and return around the top end would be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSWP Posted February 24, 2022 #33 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I have encountered some very strong swells in the bight, reminded me of similar conditions in ye olde Bay of Biscay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewgood Posted February 24, 2022 #34 Share Posted February 24, 2022 You could always take the 19 day option and start in Perth on the 15th of June and avoid the bight altogether. No suites or mini's left for this sector though. I like the intinerary as it includes Broome, Yampi Sound, Raft Point and Kuri Bay for this sector and I haven't seen these places yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you might be right Chiliburn, there will be no cruises to New Zealand till next season. Unless the New Zealand government changes there tune.

Chiliburn Posted March 23, 2022 #36 Share Posted March 23, 2022 What’s the P&O cancelation Policies? Some friends are looking at doing a cruise out of Sydney in August and if it’s canceled can they get a refund? Also , if they can’t go if they test positive can they get a refund. They just don’t want to be stuck with a credit that they don’t want . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Refund was processed very quickly, Do not know about if you have Covid? eileen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
