We are going down to the Cup next year 2020 with P & O I know general admission is include but we would like to have a seat with views of the trach, access to food, beverage and toilets. We have been looking at the various marquees and also reserved seating. It’s all getting a bit confusing I suppose as we haven’t been before. We’ve heard the Wiining Post whilst expensive is a fantastic spot. Any suggestions people that might help us out. Colin

Hi Wayne, gee mate that doesn’t sound good, I thought ga tickets were included in the cruise as we are thinking of going next year on P & O's new ship the Adventure, was the cruise it’s self ok. We were thinking of getting into the winning post marquee but it’s as expensive as well. Can you give me any inspiration Colin

First time attending Melbourne Cup and trying to decide between the Hop Garden or lawn stand. Can anyone give us some advice on what to choose please.

Does anyone have recommendations of whether to go into the stands or the precinct? We are attending this year and want something a bit better than general admission

We are booked on a cruise to the Melbourne Cup 2019. We have general admission included in our cruise cost but would like to sit in a reserved area that we can see the races and be dry in case it rains. Wondering what Saintly Place would be like, can anyone who has actually sat in this area at the Melbourne Cup give me there opinion if it was worth the money.
