Yesterday Qantas announced an agreement with Cruise Guru to offer cruises, the site is now live:

That's interesting. I was going to compare the cost of our July Med Cruise but not all cruises are listed.

Has anybody got any experience relating to points posting for cruises booked through Qantas Cruises, particularly regarding the timing? I have paid in full (deposit months ago, and balance a few weeks ago) for a cruise in October, but haven't seen any points yet. I wonder whether they post after the cruise has been taken, much like flights? That would make sense, otherwise they would have to try to reverse points credited for payments that are subsequently refunded on cancellable bookings and the like.

I am pretty sure I added my QFF number when I booked!

I used Qantas Cruises for a June cruise as it was showing the cheapest prices in the Australian market and had a intuitive interface (unlike most cruise websites). I received the points 1 month and 4 days after my cruise finished, so I expect they credit around a month after you finish you cruise.

Our cruises are booked through Cruiseco where you also get QFF points.Always appear after the cruise as well.

Thanks Formal Hall and drron.

Time to update the site QF:

This is the headline: Great Cruise Deals

This is what the site says: Qantas Frequent Flyers earn double Qantas Points^ for every AU$1 spent

This is the fine print: Double Qantas Points (2 Qantas Points per A$1 only) offer is valid for bookings made at qantas.com/cruises until 7 April 2014.

I may have fallen into a time warp, all book by March 2104: http://www.qantas.com.au/travel/airlines/cruise-deals/au/en
