Melbourne Cup wasn't a 'deal'...it was a pricing error

Yes I'm sure you're right but with almost 1500 members interested in finding the HOT AUSSIE CRUISE DEAL each day many of us were able to take advantage of the "error" obtaining an extended balcony for a SINGLE for the lowly price of just $492.

If there were 2 of you going then you had to book 2 cabins! As some have pointed out, the stewards will have lots of empty cabins to service for the 6 days! LOL!

The price for a single now in the same category is well over $4000! I wonder if some Carnival employee was given the DCM (Don't Come Monday) award this morning!

Great for those who grabbed it.

I'm sad, I saw this great error but I am already booked on a cruise then. I would have been all over it.:D

Think I have "got it" thanks so much for your patience and help.

Actually I'm not sure it was much more than that when we booked, I know balcony and minis are still about the same as 4 months ago.

I can only get it at $975 tried several sites

Lots of advertising on TV for prominent cruise specialists. Had a look and they are offering Obstructed view on Emerald deck for $3381pp for 33 days Circumnavigation on Diamond. Phoned Princess and the best they can offer is over $1000 more and not interested in the fact that someone else is selling so much cheaper.

How can prominent cruise specialist offer this price?

Pushka, check the Amazon Aussie thread ;)

I can't find it either?? Dammit I don't get this - I've always hated mysteries and clues

Friday Frenzy deal from online TA!

Sail Celebrity Infinity next March for 18 nights - includes Panama Canal!

Fly, Cruise & Stay Special price from $3299

Ocean view just add another $199!

* return airfare

* 14- night cruise - finish in Miami

* 1 night stay in Miami

* includes all taxes

TODAY ONLY or until sold out!

Are you on social media? If so just search for the hot Aussie cruise deal & you should find it.

I managed to find the FB site and then linked to the Groups page to be accepted. It looks an interesting group but unfortunately I'm not in the market for a cruise just at present :p

What can you see for the 19th May, 2016 to PNG on Dawn Princess . . . anything?

Here's what I've found. Too early for any specials yet I'd say!

Thanks - I found it. I didn't know what the HACD stood for! now I do!!

Just joinined! The melbourne cup cruise would have been fun.

RCL new website is up. Make sure anyone who is over 55 ticks the seniors box. Not sure if it applies to many cruises but I ticked it for a cruise I am keeping an eye on and it currently gets you a $440 discount on the balcony price. It also was about $360 for OV and $180 for insides.

While senior discounts are very common in the USA I have never noticed one applied to a cruise here and as such never normally bother ticking it. I only did so due to the new website format.

Cant be combined with C&A balcony discounts which were worth $325 on this cruise.

Thanks for the "heads up" re ticking over 55 box!

I love the graphics on the new site but the search options are very clunky I found! Guess I'll get used to them eventually!

In the meantime I'm going to online cruise agents to check prices! So much easier!

If I see something interesting then I try finding the same cruise on Royal's site!

I'm sad, I saw this great error but I am already booked on a cruise then. I would have been all over it.:D

I was booked on another cruise too but will either be allowing my second passenger to take it over with a new person or will cancel before penalties & get a full refund!

Either way it's still win/win I reckon!

Sorry the photo is not very clear!

Great value for singles! Less than $84 per night if you tick over 55 box & are a Crown & Anchor member!

Explorer of the Seas!

From Fremantle 13.11.15

16 nights bottom end to Sydney via NZ!

On the EOS 11-13-15, got last ocean view cabin..

Gaechann you are a bargain fiend! I am also looking for something cheap in May 2016. I want to be cruising on 20 May for my "big" birthday. At the moment the Carnival cruise at that time is their most expensive of the season ($1690 for 12 nights) :( Let me know if you find anything.
