Different fares bring with them different benefits, so while a late deal might be considerably cheaper than a Select Price fare, it may not always offer the best value.
If your flexible with your cabin location and happy to be advised of your dining on board then the early Saver and Saver fares will work and save you lots of pounds but occasionally it can still work out cheaper to opt for the free parking and take the on board credit and choose your own dining with P&O it’s always worth checking all the pricing options available.
I last sailed in April on board Azura on a saver fare, we got allocated anytime dining which was perfect and we couldn’t of asked for a better balcony cabin if we’d chosen it ourselves so the saver fare worked well for us but i have clients who need to eat at set times, need to be positioned near a lift or stairs so sometimes it not always about the money.
MSC offer different ‘experiences’ and with these come different benefits, if your looking for a great deal and wouldn’t mind being allocated the buffet restaurant as your main dining option then the ‘Bella Experience’ will work for you but if you’d like to be guaranteed the main dining room then I always recommend that you book the ‘Fantastica Experience’ .
Its all about knowing the options that are available to you and choosing what suits you best , its not always about getting the cheapest cost .
I’m always happy to spend time explaining all the different options and benefits as the pricing structures can be a minefield.
