Okay all,
I know I've hit this issue a few times but you all should know the following...I've received word from a high ranking official at Peter Hughes Diving that has told me the Star Dancer's Walindi/Walindi 10 night charter rate will drop from $3895 to $2995 AND....the week I'm going (4/23 - 5/3, 2010) will be a bring a buddy week which means an additional 25% off per person (or 50% off for your buddy if you pay full price). These rates and changes will be published in the next few weeks so if you book now (before they're published) definitely inquire. As far as I know, only me and one other person are booked, so their is about 14 spots left.
Keep in mind, April is supposed to be high season as far as best dive conditions and weather conditions. This trip starts and ends at Walindi Resort (I'll be staying there one night before the trip). We will be diving Kimbe Bay (known for critters and soft corals), the Witu Islands (known for critters and some muck diving), and Father's Reef (known for it's pinnacles and some large animal action). I booked my airfare on travelocity.com and got some reasonable airfare (reasonable for PNG standards) on Qantas through Sydney and Cairns and on Air Niugini through Port Moresby and Hoskins.
I was exchanging emails with management to figure out what my options were if the Star Dancer were to cancel it's trip due to lack of bookings - and the above paragraph is basically what the response was. The CEO of this company takes customer service VERY seriously as demonstrated by his attentiveness. Keep in mind, I don't want this to seem like management is a push over in anyway, I would have understood if they simply said, "you'll have to wait and see.", but this was completely unexpected - if you book this week that's a $1600 savings! So take this advantage while it's here now, you never know when things will work out this well again.
OKAY, I'll ask once more.......WHO's WITH ME????????
