Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. If you haven't read about it already, the Florida "Brightline" is a new train service currently running from Miami to Palm Beach via Fort Lauderdale but they are in the process of extending it to Orlando which is supposed to launch in 2023. I think it is meant to be a 2.5-3 hour ride from Orlando to Fort Lauderdale when it launches. You'd have thought there'd be enough of a market to run flights to Miami from Manchester even if it was just 2 or 3 flights a week, strange.
  2. I'm sure we've had a price drop on either an RCI or HAL cruise in the past (or it might have been that they were doing drinks and tips at a significantly reduced rate after we'd booked) and they either added the drinks and tips offer or they added the difference on as OBC. I don't think us Brits are completely frozen out but I think it's just not in our culture to ask/challenge. I wouldn't bank on it but if you don't ask, you don't get! And at the moment the industry is still very much in recovery mode so they wouldn't want to lose long term custom.
  3. I'm guessing you're not close to Heathrow then? You could always stay at Heathrow the night before? Alternatively P&O and Marella do flights from round the UK as part of their package into Barbados/other Caribbean destinations. If you still can't do the above and have to do 2 flights, have you looked at cruises departing from the Caribbean, they are generally much cheaper e.g. those departing from Puerto Rico. So rather than getting the second flight into Miami, you could fly into PR. (Although it's generally smaller/older ships).
