Brittany Cruise to Spain for 4 (today only) - £6 inc delivery

You pay £9.99 pp port fees...

This is the same deal they have run before, with a few mixed feelings - so I'd check this thread before making your decision:

forums. moneysavingexpert. com/showthread.php?t=2449929

Anyone been on this cruise before when they last did the offer? Seems pretty good to me - I paid the £6 for mine as it doesn't sound like it costs much - only thing that could annoy me is someone reported that they restrict the dates!! If I can't travel in the summer, won't be happy!

Can an admin please make my links into...links please - I'm new here so can't post them! Thanks!

    Leave from Portsmouth return to Plymouth (or vice versa)! That's not very convenient.

    That does sound a bit weird - why I was hoping to get a reply from someone has been on one before...as not sure if it actually means that...just says:

    The ship leaves from either Portsmouth or Plymouth, and returns to the alternative port of departure.

    Would be pretty absurd if it was the case!!

    Seems pretty clear to me. If you leave from Portsmouth you return to Plymouth, only 170 miles between the two!

    Think alternative could mean the choice you have made between the two? Just seems like a pretty bizarre condition to put on this, otherwise!

    That's how I read it, seems daft.... but I guess that's why it's so cheap!

    No it means if you depart from Portsmouth you will return to Plymouth.

    Hmm fair enough, checked train fares and they are actually running promotions at the moment so it ends up being £17.50 extra per person! Costs starting to mount but still sounds like a good deal!

    This clause doesnt seem clear to me either, if you go as a couple do they charge you £29.95 each AND £39.95 or just £29.95 each?

    Either way, makes it more expensive to go as a couple which has put me off anyway.

    All bookings are based on a 4 persons sharing a 4-berth cabin. Where 2 persons require sole occupancy of a cabin then a supplement of £29.95 per person shall apply and £39.95 for two persons occupying a four berth cabin. A minimum of 2 persons per booking is required.
