    Hi

    Does anyone know of a way to get the best price on P&O

    I have found a getaway price on 14th December balcony £3199 Oriana

    I can only find cruise.co.uk who offer 1.5% cash back on topcashback

    anyone know better?

    Thanks

    That seems to be the price most of the cheapest places are displaying at present. If there is plenty of availability, you may find the prices come down in a month or so, when people who have paid deposits have to pay their balance - not all do!

    Don't know if you are a regular cruiser, but have you thought about going for an inside cabin? Using a balcony in December will be hit and miss depending on weather, so is it worth paying an extra £3000 for it? Insides are currently £1649 and in winter will be perfectly fine, so that sounds like a good price to me.

    What's the secret of getting a good price for a cruise? We have just returned from our first cruise ever and would love to book another however we travelled with RCI and stayed in a Grand Suite and would like to do this again. We booked this cruise via a Travel Agent and were given a £1,000. discount at the time which we thought was good and were pleased with. We have joined the Crown & Anchor Society so want to stay with RCI. Unfortunately we will have to travel in school holidays too which probably means we will never get a brilliant deal?

    Look at NCL suites you might find your money goes a lot further. they have multi room family suites and great perks.

    Allthough school hols and suites are not going to be cheap whichever line you choose.

    Booking through america is likely to be you best chance of saving money.

    I have started using cruisefish and for RCI it shows all currencies but not the taxes which are extra for $ pricings.

    eg. here is independance for the start of the school hols next year
    http://www.cruisefish.net/finder.md?id_cruise=22443

    another one to check is
    seascanner for EUR prices.

    Have been tipped about cruisefish already. How do you book via that site though?

    For RCI click on the link, near the top in the text before the table, and it takes you RCI in the currency you want.

    or look for a TA in the country/currency of choice.

    V2G as above has a great search engine and get good reports for bookings but I have never used.

    I am just wondering if anyone can help me, I am after a cruise in December, 7-12 days in the first 3 weeks in December for the Med

    I am just after a cheap cruise for about £500 pp and was wondering if anyone had any hints or tips on which cruises are the best value.

    I am looking for flights from northern airports, so Manchester, Liverpool or even Leeds Bradford

    Cheers
