Im confused :confused:

This is is simalar to the Share Holders OBC if the cruise is greatly discounted you dont get that either... its in the terms and conditions...

small print :(

We booked at the weekend on the four day deal pay for inside cabin and get a balcony... and our agent found our deposit ( via your Portunus club number) and took it off the deposit ... so it can be done..

We to have a future cruise deposit paid and the other day I asked my agent ( Bolsover cruise club) if we could book a getaway deal and the answer was yes.. although you pay in full they deduct what you have paid already. Simples :D

When you book your Portunus membership number finds the deposit... and the OBC finds its way to your account when you join the ship ( sometimes it appears day two on board)

Oriana is popular as they hold lessons and evening events in Harlequins and many regulars prefer the lovely dance floor in there. Aurora has Carmen's and this is popular.. but can be used for shows...

I would say Oriana / Harlequins is the best..

Nothing in life is free.. its all in the price of your cruise any way.

I prefer a cheaper cruise and I will bring my own OBC ...

I always deduct the OBC and free carparking when comparing the prices as for me nothing in life is free... some how you are paying for it... so I always look at it as my money to start with as it was in with what i paid for the holiday.

The most I heard of was a friend on mine booked early once and there was a big change to the cruise and they were given £700 for the trouble. My firned and her husband arent drinkers so with the excess left at the end of the cruise and some birthday money she had burning a hole in her pocket she brought a lovely diamond ring...

Travel during term time and during the exam season to really be sure to avoid the teens.

Another good time is the first week of term early Sept... as few parents want their darlings to miss first week in a new class etc. The tinys seem to spend all their day in the kids club in fact some parents have trouble getting them our of there.
