- The current state of Australian cruising is not good. Let's have a look at the current situation in more detail. A cruise ship has been posted up for sale!!!!
Awesome insight Ami thank you
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it.
Ambassador is a perfect fit for Pacific Explorer.
I’ve given up on cruising. Not the same anymore. I can’t justify the prices being charged. I’m so grateful I did Alaska last year as it’s sooo expensive now. Cruising is expensive everywhere and just not here. I constantly look for deals but they are few and far between. We need MSC as much as people hate them.
I don’t know too much about Ambassador, but from what I have seen they didn’t change Pacific Dawn much so I think she would slot in nicely with the fleet.
I haven’t given up yet, we certainly can’t find deals like we got last year but unfortunately that’s because the demand is driving it up. Some cruise lines seem to be taking the Mickey with their pricing though. For us as a family of 4 it’s still cheaper than a land holiday.
The operating cost argument is not all that it seems. Carnival and P&O operate in the same market sector so, how can one afford to operate but not the other? Why not sell P&O? Why are we allowing ourselves to be screwed over by an American conglomerate?
Thank you for watching.
If you think about it, P&O need their own call centre, management and training teams, branding and marketing. Carnival taking over them eliminates all those costs. Most likely it will probably also cost jobs within Australia too.
It’s a loss for Australia in that aspect for sure.
What about Holland America?
Thank you for watching. I forgot about Holland America! I thought we were missing a cruise line. I also didn’t include Disney. I’m unsure about changes to their itineraries.
Thank you for your informative video . Yes it is sad to see P&O leave us. Unfortunately the pandemic has changed a lot of things for us all. I don’t believe the prices are too expensive as yet but will wait and see what happens. You are right demand will drive the prices up. I last went on the pacific explorer in feb this year and it is very old and you can see the wear and tear on it. So I’m not sad to see it retire. Carnival, royal carribean , princess we need you all here in Australia we love you❤
Thank you for watching!
I agree, there are still some good deals but they aren’t as cheap as they were post pandemic.
I was on the Pacific Explorer in February too and noticed the same. I mentioned the state of the ship with some videos on my video about the Carnival takeover. She has seen her days.
Definitely CCL, RCCL & Princess all have a solid place here in Australia.
