    Looking at a few Belek hotels but this one is first option - if you have any good prices on any others I would be interested - Not Sun Zeynep, Kaya Belek or Club Voyage as have been to them all before and want a different one - thanks :o

    Have you asked them for a cruise only price? I have booked a couple of cruises with them and it has always been cheaper to just buy the cruise and then sort out my own flights. Transfer from Barcelona airport is simple and only about 25 euros in a cab. Hope that helps.

    Have you also checked out prices for Royal Caribbean leaving from Barcelona? Their balcony cabins are bigger and they don't have loads of restaurants with extra charges like NCL do, and the ship (Voyager of the Seas from Barcelona) is bigger with more to do. Although it is formal dining rather than freestyle, you can use the self service restaurants if you don't want to dress up etc., and outside of the formal evenings it was just smart casual for dinner. Apologies if you know all this already!
