Itinerary for Carnival Spirit says Yorkeys Knob, but having a look at this https://www.portsnorth.com.au/marine-tourism/cruise-ship-schedules/ Spirit is at Cairns Port for that date. Scrolling down you can see the Yorkeys Knob entries. I would be happy to dock at Cairns for this one as it is a 3pm departure so makes for a short day. Hello Chez. I too am interested, as we are in Cairns on 1st Feb 2020. P&O has use using Cairns and your link has Pacific Explorer going into the Port of Cairns. Short walk into town. 🙂 Link to post Share on other sites

MMDown Under Posted February 13, 2020 #4911 Share Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) North in cyclone season is not so attractive. Plus the cost of a flight to Perth, without time to enjoy Perth! Edited February 13, 2020 by MMDown Under Link to post Share on other sites

Ok, so I'm trying to do some quick research on this one for my parents. They are keen to book it. They've done 50+ cruises but never been on Cunard, usually Princess or Celebrity. Daily grats on Cunard?? Taking wine onboard?? Any other tips or things I might be missing? Link to post Share on other sites

I have read that passengers can take wine onto Cunard and are charged corkage. However I don't know if that charge applies if they drink the wine in their cabin, rather than taking it to the dining room. I don't know about daily grats. Link to post Share on other sites
traveldayz Posted February 14, 2020 #4915 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Would snap this up except I’m in Singapore waiting to board the Symphony. If there is a last minute cancellation I’ll be on the QM2 instead Link to post Share on other sites
megsie Posted February 14, 2020 #4916 Share Posted February 14, 2020 When we have been on Cunard, there has been a welcoming bottle (half bottle size) of chilled bubbly wine awaiting you in your room. Last time it was prosecco. Gratuities were added daily to your account then and per person. Link to post Share on other sites
icat2000 Posted February 18, 2020 Author #4917 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Okay we all love a bargain and I suspect there is going to be a few bargains coming up.

After years of seeing last minute bargain cruises offered overseas, it is great to see last minute bargain cruises offered in Australia. I hope they fill the ship with new passengers yet to experience Cunard. Link to post Share on other sites
NSWP Posted February 20, 2020 #4923 Share Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) Many Brits have flown home from the Cunard Worldies, hence the deals - fill the cabins !! Just remember to take your jacket and tie. No Bogans please.😂 And don't tell the Brits doing the world cruises what you paid to get onboard, they don't appreciate it at all, speaking from experience when we did QM2 - Sydney to HK a couple of years ago, some Aussies on board let it be known the prices they paid, bit of a furore.
