  • Cruise is on 14th April from New Orleans to Barcelona Apr 30th on Voyager of the Seas.
    Flying into MSY from LHR on 20th March (can change date & UK airport - we live in S. Wales - by few days either side, arriving early for wedding), Flight back from Barcelona into LHR on 30th April.
    All in cost from iglucruise £1245pp
    Cruise cost iglu £505pp (we're over 55)
    Had an agent from US quote us $1299 for both + $100 credit = <£400 each.

    Anyone able to find us knock down one way fares or give us a great price on package? Have found LHR-MSY flights from around £450 return. Haven't looked yet for Barcelona. Is it best to just throw away the return portion?

    Should I wait until later to book - when would be optimum time usually? HELP!
