drsel Posted September 11, 2021 #5179 Share Posted September 11, 2021 I read on another Aus thread that Australia will not open for foreign tourists till mid 2022. If so, Carnival and Princess will have to cancel their cruises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess just cancelled all Royal Princess Australia Cruises upto March 2022. I asked my agent to shift mine to the identical replacement cruise that Princess offered in 2023, at the same price with the same OBC. she has requested the shift, but she said it will take a long time.

My replacement cruises were emailed to me yesterday. I was allocated the same cabin/stateroom. This was 6 days after I selected Option 1. Quicker than the last cancellations! Princess is getting very good re-booking, especially after all the practice they have with multiple cancellations. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will protect the cruise fare and discount and any on board credit you have but the taxes will change. They do not protect them. Any questions please let me know.''

There's no mention of when others will be allowed to travel to Australia. As you say, too late for the 21/22 cruise season for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Includes the anchor drop at Willis Island to get the duty free.😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MicCanberra Posted October 19, 2021 #5200 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Some great prices there but still unsure if the ships are coming by May, I suspect they will but am unwilling to take that punt.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
