You could do some serious onboard drinking with that $1000 obc. They must be having trouble filling their ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoff2802 Posted March 21, 2023 #5753 Share Posted March 21, 2023 We're looking for a PNG cruise from Brisbane in Winter 2024 and I see that P&O has a 10 nighter in June of that year on Pacific Encounter. Current price is $1799pp each with 2 adults in a balcony room for "Value" package and $200 OBC. I see P&O have sales all the time... do they often discount these PNG cruises or a they very popular and full price is the norm? Does P&O happily honour price drops? TIA for any info. Slightly O/T; apologies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I have a look the P&O site tells me that balconies for the June cruise are sold out. P&O are perennial discounters. I would wait for the next Flash Sale, which should be along any time now. Your cruise will definitely be cheaper then. I've been on a couple of P&O PNG cruises and they don't seem to me to be any more popular than their other cruises. You need to be careful with P&O pricing. For instance you may get $100 OBC per person with a Value Fare, but the Go Fare could be $270 per person cheaper than that. I don't know about price drops. With P&O I always buy late from Flash Sales and never saw a price drop from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In most cases though, their genuine discounting comes into play for undersold cruises after final payment date, when no longer practical to cancel/rebook. Often the flash sales can just be reduced deposit and OBC, and not much of a drop in the usual fare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aus Traveller Posted March 21, 2023 #5756 Share Posted March 21, 2023 (edited) We are going on the 10-night Pacific Encounter cruise to PNG on 25th April - $600 pp in an oceanview cabin. The TA got us an accessible one - not that we need it but the extra space is good and it is in an ideal location.

I could use points via Qantas (at 55,200 with US$122 payable in taxes), but those flights are via LAX and almost 20 hours in length. And I really dislike Crapstar.... I mean Jetstar. I did some dummy bookings and there are (at least) 50 inside cabins left..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 10 day next leg from Honolulu to Vancouver is only $A1239pp for a guarantee balcony. The direct Air Canada fight back from Vancouver to Brisbane is a bit cheaper than the Jetstar flight from Honolulu to Sydney. It's a lot of sea days, but it bears thinking about.

Rare aussielozzie18 Posted April 14, 2023 #5775 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Not sure if this considered el cheapo but cruising from Sydney to Brisbane is a better option than flying right now. DD & friends flew to Brisbane last night. Those flying with Jetstar had no issues. Those flying with Virgin had their flight cancelled with next day flight given as the next option. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
