MATTA MITM Fair 2006: StarCruise


So this is coming a little late. By the time this post goes up, the fair might already be over or at best a few minutes to go. Probably not enough time for anyone reading this to rush on down to get the tickets. But that’s OK. While I was at the fair yesterday, I had a conversation with one of StarCruise’s representatives and she told me that the offer is valid until Wednesday (22 March 2006). We could go home, decide, and call their centre before that time if we decided that we wanted to take advantage of the MATTA Fair package. I’m not sure how valid this claim is but the promotion is good.

Notes
All the cruise packages listed below on SuperStar Virgo. All cruises depart from Singapore and end at Singapore.

Two For The Price Of One
Yup. Purchase berths for two persons on one of their cruises for the price of one, which works out to a good 50% discount. The catch being that you’ll have to find a partner to go with you and your group will have to travel in even numbers.

Conclussion
There are also offers available for cruises on SuperStar Gemini. These are mostly extended cruises (5-Nights / 7-Nights). Call for details, I guess. I think the Buy 1 Free 1 is alright. Especially when quad sharing, as the price for 3rd/4th person is much lower. Basically, if 4 people travel, you’ll pay slightly under RM1,000 per person inclusive of surcharges and handling, depending on where you’re going and what berths you take.
