Guest Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 As you know, Mum and I are cruise addicts. I got a mailing today from Cunard - seems like it was only sent to people who have travelled solo with them before as Mum didn't get it. They are offering Transatlantic cruises for 2009 at only 25% single supplement - I know it may still seem like a lot to many but to any other single cruisers it IS a bargain - normally Cunard charges a 100% suppliment on these trips. Mum had been hankering after doing a crossing on her own but had been put off by the high suppliment - now she's booked on a Westbound crossing for next November and is very chuffed about it!

Guest Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 seems it's a buyers market, what with the credit crunch etc, power to the consumer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Thanks for posting that Pengy - my husband and I have cruised twice with princess cruises to the Caribbean and loved it so I was a bit confused when I received some mail from Cunard yesterday offering a 'sale' on a med cruise and a New York cruise - I've never heard of them before! Are they a good cruise company? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 How on earth have you heard of Princess and NOT Cunard?? Cunard (who are owned by Princess - they pretty much all are!) are the luxury line - QE2, QM2 and now the Victoria (although she is not a liner). I warn you though, they may spoil you for other lines! The Transatlantic crossing is a wonderful experience - Mum always said she never fancied it - she likes stopping and looking round places, then she did a double crossing with me and James and she was hooked! Oh she was also hooked on the Queen Mary 2 - so much better than QE2 was the last time we sailed on her. Having said all that my next 2 cruises are with other lines....

Guest Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 LOl but you were close, Princess own P&O! Mum was on a P&O ship earlier this year when Captain David Perkins took over - he's captained us twice on QE2! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
