Not a poll but out of interest
If you had the opportunity to travel from London to Sydney in 7 days, beginning and ending the journey by air but with 6 luxurious days on a passenger ship in between and for an all-inclusive fare around GBP 350, would you take it?

TTFA has already said it. I cannot go by sea any longer (was alright as a child, though). I would rather go LHR~SYD direct and non-stop(!) in 'Y', rather than go by sea ...

Maybe
Depends. If it was QEII etc., for sure; but a rustbucket, akin to those seen on Carry On movies, or the Fairstar (you Aussies know what I'm talking about), I'd go by air.

It sounds fab but just one word of warning - check that it really is "luxurious" - the rise of cut-price cruising (in Europe, I think the Australian market is different) has given rise to a number of passenger claims, caused mainly I think by the discrepancy in expectations - people pay 500 quid and because it's a cruise, they expect the QE2. In general, you get what you pay for, so you might want to check out that it's really the bargain it seems.
if it is, GO FOR IT!
