Freddie's Fantastic Cruises

One of the mandatory questions for me when booking my clients on some of our major cruise operators, namely; P&O Cruises, Princess Cruises and Cunard Line, is, 'Would you like to accept a complimentary upgrade from the cruise line?' Now you would assume that 99% of people would say yes…
