P&O Cruises-Who to book through for cheapest deal?

superflygal

Hi folks,

Wondered if any regular cruisers can impart some of their knowledge please?

Looking to book P&O caribbean cruise for late 2009; FOr 2 x adults 1 x child. Have been quoted £3200 approx from P&O direct, but have heard there are cruise clubs that you can join to slash the prices.

Got quote from high st travel agent who will knock 10% off, but he told me inaccurate info about the flight. I was told BA operate it-however, it is a charter airline of some sort, with upgrades available. I also know someone who booked through a travel agent with upgraded flights, and in reality, the flights were just cattle class-he had been done! I just hate cramped charter flights; I feel DVTs coming on just thinking of them...

Does anyone know what cruise clubs are the best to join please?

Any tips from cruisers would be brilliant, especially those with toddlers; How did you get on with kids clubs/creche/baby sitting etc.

Many thanks in advance!:D

We have booked with lots of different companies basically whichever offers the best deal.

Cumbria Cruises 0800 003002
Bath Travel can't remember their phone no but they do offer transport usually to the port or airport.
Bolsover Cruise Club
Cruise In 01264 350750, we booked our past 2 cruises with this company
Co-op

Also worth looking on teletext to find all the 0800 phone numbers.

Good luck, I'm sure you'll find it cheaper AND ask for an on board cabin credit AND free travel insurance, no harm in asking.

Be careful with free insurance, it is often very basic cover and assumes your are in perfect health having never even suffered from a cold !

I second Bolsover Cruise Club 01264 350750. They do everything for you.

All cruise clubs offer discount on top of the discount offered by P&O and others.

We check out the price of the cruise we were interested in on www.iglucruise.com and the booked through Bolsover cruise club at that price, cheaper than P&O.
