Thank you for the information twotravellersLondon. Fred’s current pricing strategy does not encourage people to book early. Saga, on the other hand, offer their best prices on launch of new itineraries, and prices increase as cabins are sold.
We have sailed with Fred several times, but can now see no advantage in booking early in order to use our Oceans discount, as prices reduce considerably near to the departure date.
Fred had an advantage (as far as we are concerned), in that he sold fly cruises which Saga does not currently offer. We hope that will happen again; we will have to wait and see.
