Royal Caribbean 4 nights cruise from UK for £98pp !!!

Absolute bargain but we can't go as hubby can't get time off work :(

Cruise is from Harwich, calling at Amsterdam and then Oslo. You need a flight back from Oslo but they are about £45 pp at the moment

Dates are 4th May to 7th May

more details and book at www.royalcaribbean.co.uk

Hope someone can make use of it. Royal Caribbean are one of the best cruise lines in the world, and its perfect as a taster cruise for anyone who is not sure cruising would suit them. I'm gutted we can't go. Some of the agency websites are still showing the price as around £300

    go to the Royal Caribbean website and check it/ book it, or book through your travel agent/ cruise agency. You can often get further discounts, or get gratuities included, but at that price I would have thought it unlikely. If you are new to cruising check the reviews on cruisecritic.com.

    The £98 is for an inside cabin , but there are other cabins available at different prices, best thing to do is go through the website as though you were going to book and it will show you all prices and options and you can see what the price includes.

    Still gutted I can't go :(

    Wonder if I could trust the kids to behave on their own. It is our wedding anniversary in April and would make a lovely break away.

    When added up, total is £339.20 for 2 people (in the £98 cabin). Ryanair flight from Oslo (Torp - wherever that is in relation to port) to UK for us would be £249 each (one way that is)! Then whatever taxi fares getting from port to airport and airport to home.

    Sounded great 'til I started adding it all up:-(

    Der! Stupid me - didn't realise Ryan air flights were quoted in Krona! So yes, makes flights £25:mad:

    Skyscanner brought up flights with Norwegian into LGW at £42.03 inc tax.
    There are some slightly cheaper with Ryan Air.

    For an RCI cruise its a very good deal. I had been looking at a similar cruise on Norwegian Jade, 3 nights from Southampton in June and the lowest price I could get to was £309 pp i.e. £618 for two people. I would rather go on RCI to be honest

    I found flights for £45 ish pounds from Oslo to London using skyscanner.net on Norwegian airline (?) and the transfer from the ship (under my own steam ) from Oslo to the airport looked easy enough.

    I went on to Ryanair, and found 3 adult and 1 child fare for £180 (1800 NOK). That was Oslo (Torp) to Stansted at 1410 on 7th May. There's also £190 for 4 at 1750
