I know, it’s confusing isn’t it. The website prices are sometimes wrong anyway. I think it’s best to phone Saga to get a quote for the Britannia members discount. Our friends did this recently and got an extra £500 pp off a Caribbean cruise departing later this year.

It’s a new one. There was a data breach in Norway relating to passport details of people on the 26th June cruise on Spirit of Adventure.

English Heritage membership.

Nor have I. Cabin prices have already been reduced more than once. This 29 night cruise departs in September so Saga must be keen to fill more cabins quickly.

I tried to use my Boundless (CSMA) membership to get a 5% discount a couple of weeks ago and was told it was no longer accepted. I think the Defence Discount Card is still accepted. It would be helpful if Saga were to publish details on their website of current Affinity memberships.

My understanding is that if people are not in their cabins when emergency occurs, they should go straight to their muster station where life jackets will be provided.

We commented on the lack of paper maps on our recent cruise on SoD, both on the mid-cruise and end of cruise questionnaires. Never heard back from the Explore Ashore team or Saga HQ.

We were on SoD on the Italy and Western Mediterranean cruise, which returned to Portsmouth on 28th May. Our Captain was Franko Papic, a Croatian, who was also good, we saw him around the ship a lot. I assume he has taken over from Captain Darin Bowland.

This is very helpful. Thank you Medeba.

There is also a very good wine shop in Lisbon called Garrafeira Napoleao, in R. dos Fanqueiros, which is about 15 minutes walk from the cruise terminal. It is very well stocked and we are usually offered tasting samples! Enjoy your cruise.

That’s strange. Can you give more details please?

I had an email from Saga stating that Summer 2025 cruises will go on general release next week.

We’ve just booked one of the Scandinavian cruises in July 2025. A Standard cabin on D Deck worked out at £272 pppn with a 35% discount. Prices seem to have gone up a fair bit!

Saga are calling people who pre-registered in 2021 and earlier. We pre-registered in January 2022, so are hoping to get a call soon.

I wonder when Saga will start making the calls.
