Odyssey itinerary changes winter 2023

We received  the expected itinerary changes and pricing from our TA for our Feb /March NZ to Bali itinerary. We were told several weeks ago the itinerary would be changing..The Australia section of our new itinerary starts and ends in Sydney and skirts the southern coast of Australia. It is several days shorter. The biggest challenge is that we had several days planned in Bali and  Singapore. We had airfare back to the US on Air Singapore, using points. My TA is still confirming the numbers of the discounted cruise. It looks like we will have enough money back for a nice stay in the Blue Mountains of Australia and then a flight to Bali.  Trying to make lemonade out of lemons. It does have some nice stops like Kangaroo Island and Adelaide. It seems many of the Odyssey itineraries have changed. I guess it is the price of cruising in these times.

We also are booked on this cruise, originally Auckland to Bali. We plan on flying to Bali on the day we disembark in Sydney and extend the holiday we had planned when we would have disembarked in Bali. A word of warning if you are planning to fly to Bali on 22 March 2023 - this is Nyepi Day in Bali, their day of silence and there is no arriving to and departing flights from Bali on that day. Enjoy 😊

We are hanging out in Australia until the 25th. It is good for people to know about Nyepi Day.

Looking  forward to meeting you. Lisa (and Mark)
