Just had a look at the itineraries of the Voyager and Anthem and not really impressed with the pricing and they’ve even put the deposit up to $250 per person over 6 nights

If you get the standard fare it’s only $1998

It was posted on FB by one of the online TA’s

They just posted on the Princess site 19days on the Coral to South Africa for the start of the WC in a balcony for $1900

Princess is having one cruise to PNG in 2 years time but p&o go there quite a bit Brisbane and it would be nice if Royal can mix up the cruises a bit and go different ports instead of the same ones, South Pacific or Cairns

This has been posted on FB but it’s not showing online and where can you see those cruises

Not sure if it’s a rumour but it was posted on FB the Adventure is coming to OZ for the 2025-26 season

Better off asking the question on the roll call

Nothing wrong with p&o on this cruise and they did an excellent job

The Pacific Adventure is doing one from Sydney 4 night cruise to Morten island 10/3/25 as I said p&o do it well and with disembarking today they started about 6.30am and they had everyone just about off just after 8.30am I did a b2b with a 3 day comedy cruise followed by a 4 day Elvis cruise and if you do a b2b they put an anchor on your new cruise card so you don’t have to get a tender ticket for going ashore

Happy Easter to you and Ralph

Cheryle I’ll message you

Thanks Cheryle yes it was a good cruise and i’ve never seen on any cruise where you had to queue up 1hour 40mins to get a decent seat to watch a show and when the show started it was standing room only

I haven’t cruised p&o for about 5 years and I just got home today after doing an Elvis 4 day cruise to Airlie beach from Brisbane the entertainment was first class with all the Elvis entertainers onboard and to get a good seat in the Black Circus or the theatre you had to get there 45 to 60 mins early to get a decent seat they had a show booked in for 2.30pm yesterday and people were lined up at 12.45pm to get in and watch the show in the Black Circus and that show was supposed to end about 3.30 but the Elvis entertainer said they was no acts after him so he gave the crowd their moneys worth and finished about 4.45pm I’ve never done an Elvis cruise but p&o put on a great show, anyone who hasn’t done one and is 60+ it’s worth the wait to line up if your an Elvis fan

You can give extra to your cabin steward or the bar staff

They are entitled to give extra for good service

Yes Cheryle very strange especially when you haven’t been on a Carnival ship maybe when you get the offer ring Carnival and see if you can upgrade to a balcony and pay the extra if they agree

I agree they don’t care if your platinum which I am and I don’t get those offers but I don’t spend much money either or play the pokies, one good thing we get $25 loyalty bonus every cruise Pre covid on Princess we used to get a good loyalty bonus but that has stopped now

To catch the train from Perth airport to Freo do you need to change trains or is it a direct service

Cheryle I was at the airport at 7.45 and that was getting the train to Mascot station then the bus to the airport

The Coral P4incess came in yesterday (Thursday) and they started disembarking passengers at 6.30, but doesn’t always happen

I like searching from a certain online agency in Canberra which we can’t name and see what’s available and then see what the cruise line prices are

That’s the cruise I was talking about, earlier you could book all categories as a solo and not now and I don’t want to spend $4000 on a mini suite

This is the first time I’ve seen this with Princess not allowing solos to book a cruise unless they want to cruise in a mini suite RCL have solo cabins but their not cheap,and not many of them available unless you book very early

I saw a Princess cruise this coming December from Sydney and any solos can’t book an inside cabin , you can book for 2 and maybe the 2nd person can be a no show and get your fees and taxes but no use ringing p&o or Princess because it gets you no where, they want to fill up the ship with 2 or more people per cabin just had a look at the cruise again and solos can’t get an oceanview or a balcony but if they wish to pay $4000 for an 11 night cruise to the South Pacific they can get a mini suite
