Need phone number and name for discount cruise please

Hi I read on here a while ago that there was a company that gave huge reductions on cruises. I have seen a cruise on the QE2 that we would like to do. Cruisedeals.co.uk have the best offer so far. Does anyone have the name of the company that I am thinking of please ?

Also discount parking at Southampton would be useful.

Thanks in advance

Lizzy

    try gills cruise, bolsover cruise, 1st for cruise and save n sail...if you do a google you will get the numbers.
    I saw a QE2 one leaving for christmas markets but unsure about cruising the north sea in December probably why its a good price. I think I will try and head the other way but still hunting.
    If you come across anything for after the 25th Novemeber can you post it please
    If you look anything like your passport photo....Your too ill to travel
  • We used cruise classified and got a great deal on the QM2

    Oh my goodness, seems my hubby booked this morning as I told him last night that only two M4 grade cabins left. (I don't always believe this but he did). So never got chance to ring others and IT MIGHT BE CHEAPER ELSE WHERE :eek: :eek:

    Thanks for the advice though.

    It was the Christmas Markets Southampton, Sea, Hamburgh, Sea, Oslo, Sea, Rotterdam, Zebrugge, Southampton.

    8 nights £619 each with cruisedeals.co.uk. On 6th December 07.

    I know have to pay around £6per person per day for tipping, taken from our account but was shocked to find also have to pay extra 15% on bar bill. As you can tell this is my 1st Cunard cruise (normally Thomsons). It also says in the book "feel free to tip over and above to whoever you feel has given you great service". Can anyone enlighten me on what to do about that please and any other tips onboard etc will be greatly appreciated.

    Are the trips ashore very expensive (compared to other companies) ? Also the drink prices.

    Even after this I am soooooooo excited :j :j
  • You can usually take the tips off when you get on the cruise, we did on our cruise last year as the level of service was terrible (rather grumpy staff)
