I'm assuming you booked the excursion with P&O..................how much did it cost??

As are most excursions booked through the cruise line. A trip to the fjords last year with Ambassador, the train ride at Flam was twice as dear than when you just walked up to the station and bought your ticket on the day!!!!

Taxi sounds live an easy and more comfortable route........................an indication of cost??

Theres a lot of choice out there so i dont think I would ever be disappointed at missing out, theres always another bargain comes along i think, as Megabear says, just keep looking.

I'm a bit like you, only done 4 cruises ever, been happy with the prices we paid at the time but think i could probably have done better with a bit more research. Did the fjords with Ambassador last year and I think we've finally settled on the inside cabin option in the future so not really fussed where its situated, other than keeping away from the obvious potential noisy area's. Interesting comment about the flights, do you just assume that if the options available when booking then its guaranteed??

Thanks for the 'eads oop' a lot of good advice which i'll take.......................time to start "browsing" 😉

When do you ACTUALLY book your cruise though?? Your in a catch 22 situation I think, do you wait till the price drops before you book, losing a lot of choices, cabins, reduction in on board credit, potential for your flight to be full..................its a quandry for sure! I'm looking to book a Med cruise in September and its currently advertised at £800 with a £140 on board credit, which I thought was a good price, but how much is it likely to drop as the months go by and how much of that credit will be eroded??
