This is supposed to be for el cheapo cruises,

 

$293pp/night for an Inside.

$422pp/night for a Balcony.

I cannot see how those prices are cheap at all even for the QM2.

I wonder what the pre-sale prices were?

I would have thought lower when first offered but then they rose way up before dropping again to this price.:D

When Pacific Princess was first assigned to the Australian Fleet they had a limit of 25 children, not because they did not want children on board , but simply because the ship was not designed with any facilities for children .

 

Azamara Journey had 30 children coming on board for their Christmas cruise this year. The ship was beautifully decorated for Christmas and they had made a superb Ginger Bread Village. We had a Christmas Carol singalong before we left and the Cruise Director had written a Christmas pantomime. Otherwise the ship is not suitable for children

So many deals. So little leave. I just going to have to wait for our PNG cruise in August. Severely restricted on how many cruises I can take per year at moment.

A constant problem while work dominates.

Money!

The other constant problem :(

[Esilef]

If we could all solve the time & money issues then there would not be a need for el cheapo cruises as we would be all sailing el expensivo cruises!

Make the most of the bargains while they around.

El Cheapo means ship not fullo .
