Jan 2019 From Sydney but ends in Melb 8 Days on the Legend Oct 2019 To and from Sydney for 7 days on the Spirit Here the issue where in Vic so will need flights to Sydney (plus possibly accom for the night before/after) and for 6 that add's up $$$ we looked at one in Jan 2019 from Melb but its the week school goes back with the eldest starting high school so scraped that idea as i dont want him missing the 1st week but the one from Sydney that finises in Melb is during school holidays so is do able I've compared both and cost wise there isn't much difference (under $200) once you factor airfares Jan one is a bit more for the cruise but only 1 flight and Oct is cheaper cruise but 2 flights so they end up being about the same cost wise which one would you do? which would be better season/time to travel? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may also want to post in the dedicated Carnival forum, where you may reach some folks who have taken the exact itineraries you are considering: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=215 You may also find reviews of those itineraries in that forum. Good luck and Bon Voyage.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
