Around the World using Qantas Frequent Flyer Points

[cinogirl]

Next year (probably June, possibly January 2014) I plan to go from Canberra to London (with a stop on the way, not sure where), stop over for about a week in the UK, fly to Fort Lauderdale or Port Canaveral and do a cruise, and back home (with a stopover on the way home).

Any ideas on the best route, maximising my points? I currently have 177,000 points and am FF Bronze. Thank you.
