Newbie to Cruises - Crystal or bust...

[CeeCee46]

Hi Everyone,

Totally new to cruising although it's been a lifelong ambition to go on one.

Am single and have decided to book a Crystal cruise for next year - i'm not too fussed about where i go, just want to relax on the ship, read a couple of good books, dine on tasty food and wine and take in the views. If i can find a last minute deal, so much the better!

 

I've seen a really good offer on Crystal Serenity - a cabin with a balcony for a tenth of the price of the rest of the cabins.

 

My question is: There has to be a catch, right?... :confused:

I am not familiar with Crystal pricing, but a 90% discount seems unusual. Are you dealing with a TA.

 

If you book it be sure to use a credit card and make sure the charge is to Crystal, not the TA

Did you actually click through the offer to see if the rate on the splash page is for real or a typo that omitted a digit from the price which is what I strongly suspect.

 

(Welcome to Cruise Critic--and I hope this reaches you before this thread is deleted as it is against board rules to name specific travel agents)

Looks like a typo - the Crystal website doesn't list a deal there. Did you enquire or book?
