2 night cruise P&O Oceana 20 Dec £59pp

Just seen an amazing cruise deal this afternoon in my local Barrhead Travel window. It's cheaper than a night out!!! £59pp and that's all your food and entertainment over the 3 days, with only drink to buy.

2 night cruise on Thursday 20th December on P&O Oceana from Southampton visiting Belgium. Returning Saturday 22nd.

Not a great deal for Scottish cruise fans but amazing one if you live south or near Southampton. I am tempted to drive down if only I could predict the great British weather in 2 weeks!!!

I have never been on Oceana but the P&O website says
A mid-sized cruise ship with a particularly stunning atrium that
creates a real ‘wow’. Her bars, restaurants, shops and lounges have been designed to flow seamlessly through the ship and this makes for a sociable and informal atmosphere with P&O Cruises. Oceana’s bars are a feature... There is Magnums – a lively Champagne bar, Winners’ - the funky midships bar and the Yacht and Compass – a traditional English pub. Oceana also has a dedicated nightclub. For dining, Oceana offers a choice when it comes to the main restaurants of both Club (fixed dining times) and Freedom dining (no fixed dining times). She also has several other restaurants to try; a bistro by Marco Pierre White and al fresco dining on deck at the Horizon Grill for great steaks and seafood. Oceana cruise ship has broad decks with 4 sparkling pools and 6 whirlpools to enjoy during the day and even has a sports court ingeniously housed in her funnel. The gym and spa are well appointed and within easy reach, as is the golf simulator. Oceana’s welcoming and informal atmosphere makes her particularly popular with families.

You need to call them on 0141 242 1315 for this rate as it's still £149 on their website. I went in the shop and quickly asked and it's only available til Monday at this price or until their cabins sell out, they only have inside cabins available which is fine since it'll be so blooming cold!

I am in Glasgow and book most of my holidays with them, hope this helps someone!

Corrsy!!!

    I saw this on hukd but it got deleted before I had chance to get all the deatils ao I posted for help in misc section.

    Google shows it will have just had a million pound refurb and this is the first outting after that.

    I phoned them up and its all correct but because I have 3 kids and needed 2 cabins they could not assure me the cabins would be together, so I gave it a miss.

    She said it departed at 12 and got there early next day so you had a day there and got back about tea time the following day.

    I thought it was a great offer if its just 2 of you and lived south.

    I know I don't know why it got deleted, I've asked too!

    I wish I knew what the weather would be like to make the drive! I phoned national express but would need an overnight on the Wednesday and on Saturday the bus leaves at 8.40 so too early too enjoy my Friday night! I'll still look at possibly driving if I can recruit a few friends!

    Sod it hubby is at work on the 20th, off on the 21st, or this would have been perfect.
    A waist is a terrible thing to mind.
