It’s lonely on Sydney Harbour now that the cruise season has officially ended, but thanks to Carnival Australia we still see ships regularly from P&O Cruises and Princess Cruises that are based here all year round.
It's not easy to find single cabins on most cruise ships, usually singles have to pay a single supplement. When one books a cruise, you normally pay a per person, double occupancy price. The single supplement is usually quite expensive - 50 percent+ or more of the total cruise cost because it is designed to recoup the income lost by not having a second traveller in the cabin.
These are catchwords favoured by most real-estate agents but the same mantra holds true for the dedicated cruiser, who seeks the best position for his or her cabins when booking a cruise.
Hear the hilarious stories of life aboard the world's most luxurious fleet, including how nine men "mooned" BON VOYAGE from the San Francisco Bridge as the ship set out to sea.
