El Cheapo Cruises Thread

More a deal for solo travellers as there's _no single supplement._ A good price in general, but with only a week to go, that's balanced out by the short notice. For solos though it's really cheap compared to usual.

:DI must have had all my ducks in a row today:D

 

Booked this, and TA is giving $50 off for Valentines Day, AND scored $25.00 off my next tank of diesel with my AA card, AND the TA undercut the airline website fare by $50.

Well done. I hope your ducks stay aligned.:D

$48.75 per night.....

Try booking a room in a Hotel/Motel/even a camping ground site for that price...and it includes meals.:rolleyes:

Yep....that is a good deal. :):)

Here's a deal worth posting (unfortunately not available to us Aussies!!!)..........

I am booked on the Regal Princess next month doing a 7 day Caribbean cruise and someone just posted on the thread that they just booked the cruise for US$99 for an inside guarantee. They were then offered a BB Balcony upgrade for another US$99 each.

A BB Balcony cabin for US$198 for a 7 day cruise is a great bargain in my eyes!! I am not going to mention what I paid 6 months ago for the same cruise!!!!:ship:

Worth giving your TA a call.

Just a new thought for anyone who does not like to book on spek in case they have to cancel and will lose their deposits.

I have a PayPal account and have just received a notice from them

They now offer a COMPLIMENTARY deposit insurance up to the value of $500 once per year if you pay the deposit through their account NO EXCESS so that has to be better than any travel insurance possible claim if you met the insurance cancellation rules that is. The cover is from CHUBB

But which cruise lines accept PayPal?

I would not know I always book through a TA and most of them do You would have to ask the cruise lines they may do

That is what I would have thought.

The policy wording needs to be checked. For instance, it does not cover "change of mind".

aaaarrhh

Just checked our Princess booking online and we can pay final money by using PayPal.

It says there will be 1.% charge. I assume they mean 1.1%, which is the usual charge for paying by credit card.

Does any insurance policy cover "change of mind"?

No it will be just 1% several of sales companies charge for PayPal but not as much as they do for credit cards

This is in my opinion a great deal.
