Price differences

[Southoffranceman]

Can someone explain to me the great price differences for the same cruise on the various Costa sites.....prices on the US site are much less than UK site...I suppose there is a problem to book on US site but has someone an easy way around it

Price varaiations between the US and UK are an old parenial problem.Most US prices do not include port and ancillary charges, as the UK prices do.Plus Costa is not very popular with US cruisers in general terms hence the relatively lower prices.It is possible to book with some US TAs for the likes of NCL RCI but Princess/PO are known to refuse booking made by UK passengers with US TA's, no reason has ever given, although I have heard some people have been lucky.
