What do I need to know about cruising post-pandemic
Australias ports reopened in April 2022 and cruises have begun sailing to, from and around Australia again.
Due to an increase in COVID-19 cases, from 21 November P&O Australia, Princess Cruises and Carnival Cruise Line have reintroduced mask mandates on Aussie sailings. Masks must be worn in all public indoor spaces. They are not required while eating, drinking or in the privacy of your state room.
Guests must also be fully vaccinated, unless they have a medical exemption. As a rule, at least 95% of guests must be vaccinated.
Before boarding, all passengers 2 years or older must show a negative RAT test within 24-hours of boarding, or a PCR within 48-hours of boarding.
How do I get the best Black Friday cruise deals?
- Don't cruise solo. We hate to break it to you, but the cheapest cruises are twin or quadruple shares. Coordinate with your cruising crew before the sales arrive to let you book those larger cabins that are a cheaper per person price.
- Forgo the window. Interior cabins are often the featured price in a sale. If you're not fussed about the view, it's a great way to keep costs down.
- Consider the deal. Certain cruise deals offer you freebies and while this might sound like a bargain, sometimes it's as trivial as a free ice cream per day. Instead, look out for crazy discounts on your sailing itself or free flights and transfer to the port.
- Book with a cruise line that suits your travel needs. Cruises are wide and varied. Some have water slides and zip-lines ideal for families and youthful voyagers, while others are more luxurious and include formal and themed nights for a more mature taste. If in doubt, consult our list of best cruises for your needs before you book.
- Book early. This goes without saying. The early bird does catch the worm – or in this case, the Black Friday deal.
- Consider the deposit and cancellation policy. It's all too easy to get lost in the frenzy and book without considering prior commitments and other travel buddies. Before you press "go", suss out the cancellation policy in case your plans change.
