    Same question for myself, but Im looking for a no-fly cruise. There was some on Iglu Dedra, so that site could be worth a look if you haven't already.

    What are the budgets and dates

    there are plenty of cruises out there with availability.

    Lastminute does not always == cheap with cruises.

    The Radio 4 Money File expert was on BBC TV Breakfast last weekend saying that cruises were a fantastic bargain at the moment - you can get cruises departing this month and next at prices less than you would normally pay in November.

    Unfortunately, I did not hear him suggest where you go to get them.......

    Im ideally looking for something going in the first half of August. No prescribed budget, just having (or trying to have) a look around to see what is out there.

    NCL Epic from BCN

    RCI Liberty also from BCN (massive ship ideal for kids.) try 13th cheaper than 6th

    a few from venice but flights are becoming an issue

    Oh, forgot to mention, it has to be a no fly cruise. (Yep, certainly narrows it down a bit)

    Hi

    I think £2,000 max for the 3 of us. I paid £3,800 for Red Sea at Easter (booked the previous October) I met loads on board that paid half of that I know a lot of that was down to the troubles. Having said that I met a family of 4 who only paid 2,800 euros who had booked months before me and that included flights from Ireland.

    I need to go within the summer school holidays.

    Thank you

    Thanks I will look into that.
