csm5986142 Posted September 15, 2022 #2 Share Posted September 15, 2022 I'm jealous - that's an awesome itenerary (with Seattle being our closest port, we were looking at that cruise recently). Unfortunately, I can't be gone from work that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ninjacat123 Posted September 15, 2022 #3 Share Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) That's fantastic! And 20 days at sea!! Looking forward to your review!! Edited September 15, 2022 by ninjacat123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moviela Posted September 15, 2022 #4 Share Posted September 15, 2022 I will be the cruise of the year for Carnival. The ship looks beautiful. I am booked and looking forward to five ports in Japan. I figured since I have always wanted to see the Barrier Reef, why not stay aboard and do that. Just today I book a third cruise on Luminosa going to New Caledonia. A bucket list place for me. Nice trip. I will board once in Seattle, unpack, and live the life for 44 days before packing and flying back to the USA. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelkel2 Posted September 16, 2022 #7 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Wow, that’s an incredible itinerary. You should do a live trip report! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ferry_Watcher Posted September 16, 2022 #8 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Apply for your Australian visa in a timely manner, and make sure you still have 6 months remaining on your passport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Circlt Posted September 16, 2022 #10 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I just booked the TP voyage as well, got a super great deal on a suite and grabbed it! I see that the spa has a thelassotherapy pool. Was hoping the suites come with spa passes but no such luck, only the spa suites do. Other than a passport is there a VISA requirement? Right now I am planning on going home to US after we dock in Brisbane. I will possibly stop in HI for a few days on the way back as I have never been there. Also did anyone notice the odd itinerary excursion in Alaska for Tracy Arm? Tracy Arm isn’t in the itinerary but they are showing an excursion tour of Sawyer Glacier available for purchase. I purchased it in case it is not a glitch. That particular excursion is a must do and usually sells out. I hope it’s not a mistake and more will be revealed later. Tracy Arm is not in the itinerary but Hubbard is. It’s odd, I admit. It’s a solo cruise for me. 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LaRue1975 Posted September 16, 2022 #17 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I just added a second cruise to my Australia plans in May 2024, first up is a 9 day South Pacific followed by a 10 day barrier reef cruise. A 19 day B2B from Sydney for $2700 total with $1100 OBC and free drinks in the casino for me and hubby. I booked a lido balcony first leg and an aft balcony for the second. We both had casino offers and I should have enough AA miles for free airfare, score! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Gotta accumulate Frequent flyer miles. If you sign up for a new airlines affiliated CC there's bonus miles given. It will be about 40,000pts/pp to fly back from Australia.
