Would you ever take a Carnival cruise in Australia?

[zqvol]

The flight is about 20 hours and closer to $5000. If I am paying that to fly to a cruise it is not going to be on Carnival.

I agree with the flight time, but not sure where you got that price? I just did a dummy RT flight Seattle to Sydney this Oct. and it was about $1200...business or first class maybe.

You're forgetting that not everyone lives on the West Coast. I live in NY, and we're looking at $1500+ fares. In coach, cramped edition

We are looking forward to carnival going to aussie land. We get free airfare so that takes care of the more expensive part of the trip. Not crazy about flying for such a long time, much longer than our european flights, but well worth it in the end!

I realize the Eastcoast would be more, but I was questioning the poster's $5000 price.

Yes, I agree...the flight is NOT $5000!

I would love to do the repo if there is one

[tracyvansmith]

I will consider the repo to get there. After that, not.

 

I agree with all of the ones who said yes to the repo cruise but after that no. I would do a land trip after that.

I would definitely look at the repo...it will probably be a similiar route as RCI Radiance is doing this year...2 legs...Vancouver to Hawaii (11 days), and then Hawaii to Australia (17 days). Radiance is making several stops between Hawaii and Australia.

 

I knew there was a reason I have been saving my air miles.

 

I am booked on the RT to Hawaii from San Diego in Apr/2012, but will probably scrap it for the full repo.

 

 

Hey Deb!!-Last time we saw one another was on the Spirit-Mexican Rivera!! Now, one of our favorite ships will be gone! Waaaah!! Se you have a trip planned. We are going on the Miracle, first of March (much like the Spririt I have heard) to the So. Carribbean for 8 days, much like the trip we did!!! Good time to get out of Wa., eh? Hope all is well and happy with you!

Here are just a few of the other places to stop along the way, after Hawaii -

 

Tahiti

Moorea

Bora Bora

Cook Islands

Samoa - American and Western

Fiji

New Zealand

 

A trip to the South Pacific islands is a trip of a lifetime!

 

Exactly, island hopping the whole way down.

 

Deb, think we can get TBD and the gang involved ?

[crzndeb]

Hi Margi....glad to see you here...WOW, you have a trip soon. Since my TA will have me gone about 3 weeks, it will probably be it for this year.

 

Hey Dave,

 

The only problem I see with some of the gang is the time involved...me, I can do anything now that I'm retired....LOL!!!!

 

I know the repo info won't be out for a while, but it is making me crazy waiting.

 

I'm with the others though, I would do the repo, but I would do a land trip after that. The flight is the killer...1 way I can handle, but I will definitely need an Ambien...hahaha
