  • There's at least 20 people from my workplace going as well. They got an email just before I posted on MSE.
  • Can I suggest that we are all carefull and discreet about taking food on board and not give us MSE'ers a Bad Name!

    whooo hoooo! I managed to book for 11th November if anyone else is going then let me know :D

    Girlfriends birthday hahaha! "Hey sweetheart, as well as that stereo I got you (from staples) and the phone (overcharged by tesco) I have booked us on a nice cruise to the romantic city of Bergen. :D

    PS, How can you tell what sort of room you have?
    "1 * Inside cabin. Booked for 2 persons"
    is all mine says

    Have a look at the accommodation page, I think the better rooms are on upper decks with windows. If you went for the double bed like I did you are guaranteed a good room. If you went for singles you might get bunks.

    I had a look and seaways do not give a double bed as an option, commodore class is the only class that allows a double bed option.
    Commodore deluxe is top class and has double beds but I'm sure they wont give me that room.

    I took a few momments to check the accommodation when booking and could'nt believe they were allowing to choose between them all, as all free! I quickly sussed that a double on upper deck with sea view was the best!

    I've just checked the National Express website and they do funfairs to Newcastle on some routes for £1.

    Other than that can anyone recommend a good but cheap B&B for the night be arrive back in Newcastle?

    We looked at National Express,would have been just about possible to travel Norwich-London for a pound then London Newcastle for the same each way.
    But its around 11 hours travel,so weve booked 2 £16.90 returns on GNER ,around 2 hours from Peterboro to Newcastle.
    On the night we return to Newcastle we booked a Travelodge at Gateshead for £26,about 3 miles away,the city center one was full price.
  • I'm gonna drive from S Wales to Newcastle as Nat Ex is a 11hr journey with hour waits in Birmingham and Manchaester even catching first Bus a 5.55am we would only JUST check in on time.

    A return for two comes in at £126 and £16 return from the bus station to the Port................so mounting up!
