CHEAP CRUISE!! How fast could you pack!

[chaz cruiser]

Hi Everyone,

I have just received an email from one of those online cruise companies we can't name on here advertising the following cruise:

Brisbane to Fremantle - departs this Friday 9th November! only $895pp twin share

13 night cruise onboard Sun Princess departs Brisbane visiting Whitsundays, Cairns, Darwin, Broome, Exmouth and Fremantle - HURRY!

I wish I could make it!! If anyone wants the email forwarded to them send me an email to chaz_cruiser @ yahoo . com .au (just join it all together!).

Cheers,
Charmain:)

Yes, I got the same on Tuesday afternoon, and my TA contacted Princess at 4pm to be told they were sold out ... obviously very very few (and cynics might add "if any") were available.

My first cruise (before all the security stuff) I opened my Email at Midnight Friday night from our travel agent. There was a cruise too good to pass up. $197 each for a 7 night cruise.

We (hubby, myself and 2 kids) booked Saturday morning (after a begging phone call to my boss), got confirmation Saturday afternoon and were at the pier at 9am Sunday morning.

So in answer to your question- real fast.

Bob,
I agree!
I would assume that most passengers would be doing the full cruise, so figure there would be very few up for grabs. Good price though.

Surely this has to be wrong!! How can they advertise something they can't deliver?? My apologies everyone, I should have know that it was no good.

But at least sayaguru got to gloat about her great deal... WOW!!! Wish they sent me those types of messages.

Cheers,

It's a bit strange that they would send the e-mails out with no vacancies.
I received one the other day too.
today I received one again for the Sun Princess same cruise ,this time Darwin to Fremantle... a 6 night cruise. no price, had to ring ...
(I am sure people in the know pass on info to family and friends first.)

kind regards, Lorraine:) :)

A few times that has happened, where there is a bargain price but then not available. I guess even if there is only 1 cabin you still need to advertise it for people to know.

I can be ready in 17 hours. Found out at 2pm that our insurance claim was rejected and was on a 7am bus to sydney for a US trip for a month as there was no way were were going to lose all that money.
