Wait for Jetstar to have a sale - we go ours in the 2 for 1 sale recently, $650 for the two of us, one way of course :p. Use sites like Skyscanner and Expedia to keep an eye on flights and watch out for sales.

Thanks for your posts about this cruise aboard solstice . We are planning to take this cruise from Sydney to Hawaii in April 2015 & then stay aboard for the cruise from Hawaii to Vancouver BC .;):D

Yes ,it is a long flight to get to Sydney from the west coast & we will do it business class ,for the comfort :)

Although swimming with reef sharks seems exciting ,being in our mid 70s we will bail on this one :). Our activity level is not quite that high . However ,would love to take pictures of all that from the boat:p .

Hi - I'm not sure I understand your question. The ship was not at any one port more than one day other than Sydney. I did hear of people who spent the night in the over the water bungalows in Moorea and joined the ship after that but I don't know all the details about how that was done. I think that there was a discussion about that on the Pacific islands boards, though.

Hi Val, we flew to Sydney to begin the cruise and watched airfare for over 1 year. We never saw one ways from the US west coast any lower than about $1000 ( and that was choice air). We didn't price Hawaii to Sydney so can't help with that.
