    October 26 sailing is £396 on NCL website. Did you see it at £330 somehwere else?

    November 16 is particulalry good for singles at only 20% supplement - £394 for an inside guarantee - but I'm wondering if it is maybe a little late weather-wise for the itinerary.

    It came up £330 for 16 Nov date.

    We did similar 12n ex bcn in Jan 09 weather was fine not too hot, rained a couple of times and no crowds at the sites.

    Missed the solo rate(thanks), bargain

    Thanks for your reply. I have just visited the CruiseNation website and their prices are coming up slightly lower e.g. think the £330 was £321. I don't know what they add on before you get to the end of the purchase process though (admin fees, etc?).

    The single rate for 16 Nov is £375 with them wheras the October 26 comes up at £501.

    I must say I am tempted as I have thousands of Airmiles i have been collecting for ever and now with their announcement about the changes I am looking for ways to spend them. I can get a flight to tie in with the cruise and give me 2 nights in Rome afterwards.

    Decisons, decisions.

    Its all interesting stuff this NCL 3 day 'sale'.

    We are looking for a January cruise and have had our eye on NCL, its a great price indeed, but due to certain home circumstances we arent in a position to commit at the moment.

    Interesting to see what they do when the 3 days are over.

    I suspect they will rise prices for a short while and then they will drop again.

    Fingers crossed anyway ;)

    You wont be lying on your death bed thinking I am sorry I went on that cruise !

    The opposite may well be the case though !

    I think these over winter cruises have been a bit sluggish selling.

    I expect there will be continuous price fluctuations but at this lowish level

    4 adults in the 2 bed suites are good value with the 3/4 pax rates being £300-£400ish


    Should add (now we have it booked, OV for £400ish)

    17Dec11 9n Xmas cruise was starting at £329(inside gty) but now £365 IE (inside)

    BA flights to BCN from LHR are £112pp cheaper flights with usual but by the time you add bags etc gets close tothe ba price and they have a lot of flights each day as backup.


    This is cheaper than the packages the TAs are asking.

    Why not join us on the 17dec Xmas cruise only 9 nights and ba flights from LHR->BCN(we need our airmiles for a Boston flight) solo from £440

    Nov looks better pricing.

    Ooooh, can't do that! I am keeping my eye on the MSC December 1 departure to Brazil. I got the sub-£200 Orchestra one 2 years ago which was the same deparuture date. Will lightning strike twice, I wonder? Fingers crossed.

    But at least it will take my mind off being sorry I haven't had more sex!
