UK ports are going to get busy, Olsen have dropped Caribbean fly/cruises as of the end of 2012 winter season due to APD.

 

Ex UK cruising could suit everyone at last...those who love the huge Vegas style ships and the rest of us who like the smaller, more intimate ships.

Air passenger duty.....its been increased recently, especially on long haul flights.

Hopefully Liverpool will be granted Turnaround facilities in the near future which will only add to the likely addition of more places to cruise from instead of having to travel to Southampton all the time when leaving the UK.
