    Dave(or anyone), with approximately 8weeks to go for the P&O cruise I want, the price had came down a bit but has since went back up a bit, is it likely to go down again now or should I just bite the bullet and book it? MHOC did say that sometimes the price changes with approx 8 weeks to go due to cancellations but just wanted your expert opinion on it too.

    TIA
    I do try to keep up but sometimes life gets in the way.
    I'm just a penny short of a pound. Peace and Love.

    Wow, well done. :D

    Don't know if you saw my post the other day about Cadbury Dino biscuits 50p for a multipack of 6 in A (£1.50 in S.) Worth a look if you're passing by. DD got 10 for £5, so 60 packs. Cute little mini biscuits, DGS loves them.

    Not caught up properly and have to go out but hope to return to some wedding pics. x


    I did remember to check but not reduced in my store My GC would have loved them

    I personally would wait, but if you definitely need this cruise, you may need to bite the bullet. Which cabin type are you going for? Do you need to choose your cabin number, or are you going for a late saver? How have the other cabin prices changed, for eg. have the outsides rapidly increased, while the balcony's have just once up a little?

    Not sure which cruise you are looking at, but I usually go for a guide that for a balcony, around £100 a night is a good price in high season, so perhaps you could use that to inform your choice.

    Not quite correct I'm afraid. Income has to be declared and it's for the tax man to decide whether you owe him anything.
