El Cheapo Cruises Thread

[Ned49]

Oh I think I know which agency..... just double check you final payment date.... they bring it forward by months.... you have to pay quite a few months earlier than is normal. (that's if it is the agency I am thinking about)

 

If it is the online agency that I have just booked with I was told to ring them a week before the payment is due and tell them that I only want to pay the rest of the deposit and then the rest is due as normal. We have only paid $10 each deposit for a New Year's Eve cruise next year, with a drinks package thrown in. Plus they don't charge credit card charges. Bargin we thought.

there are trade offs with any of these offers, if they are asking for a lower deposit then cahnces are the get out clauses are tighter and payments are due earlier. whatever the case may be make sure you know what the T&Cs are for your booking.:D

More ships as well. Though if it gets too bad they'll just go elsewhere.

They could be right I checked out an online agent and they only had 8 cabin categories left for the total cruise.

I noticed that I could book an inside for segments of the cruise and go all the way around going B2B cruises but could not book the whole 75 days in an inside.:confused:

Your right Sarah I was seeing oceanview with balcony listed and reading it as oceanview. Must be too early in the morning.:o

With a long cruise like this they have maybe allocated x number of cabins for the entire cruise and are keeping cabins back for the segments. I imagine the segments will be very popular .

That is a nice offer, I am not surprised at all that the ship is filling fast, I thought it may have been almost full already.:D

I agree, I would think that some segments would already be almost sold out while others may only have minimal take up as a segment but quite a few people booking the whole journey.:D

I don't see the 7th of Dec price on the RC website, is it somewhere else?

 

I just booked up on the christmas cruise at *70 each, what a price! Under $2000 including tips. I am very happy! :)

And who thought that November was the only month where the baragins happen.

 

Ship Name: ms Oosterdam Cruise Code: HO479 Departure Date: Friday, 5 December 2014 Cruise Name: South Pacific and Fiji Nights: 14 Departing: Sydney

 

From $1054 interior per person. From $1246 for balcony. (VH catergory)

 

 

Now this is a November cruise but around Australia (Fremantle to Sydney) on the Diamond 16 nights seems reasonable to me.

 

Ship Name: Diamond Princess Cruise Code: M432NJFMSYD Departure Date: Friday, 28 November 2014 Cruise Name: Fremantle to Sydney Nights: 16 Departing: Fremantle (Perth)

Yeap. Always makes you a little bit mad when you see them advertised cheaper than what you paid. Hopefully they upgrade you. There seems to be plenty of availability. :D
