30p to spend a penny – is that V F M?

I recently travelled by train via Birmingham New Street and couldn’t believe it cost 30p to spend a penny which made me ask the question ‘what is value for money??’

Cruising is better value for money than it has ever been, partly due to the economic downtown and increased cabin capacity the cruise lines now offer more added value and incentives such as early booking discounts, onboard spending money, cabin upgrades and drinks packages

See below for the very best incentives on offer for current bookings

P&O are currently offering a range of early booking benefits, choose from either onboard credit plus oboard credit, onboard credit with free parking or coach travel, singles can also choose from these offers

The Cunard Fare offers flexibility, value and peace of mind. For cruises of seven nights or more, you can choose from one of the following complimentary benefits:
On board spending money
or, car parking in Southampton
or, return coach travel to Southampton
or, airport parking on selected Fly-Cruises
or, hotel stays

Both P&O and Cunard also offer ‘Early Saver’fares, these are reduced prices however your stateroom grade is confirmed at the time of booking but your stateroom number and dining will be confirmed closer to departure.
Port shuttle buses are not complimentary on this offer and will be chargeable on board.

Fred Olsen are offering a pre bookable All Inclusive Drinks Package for £10 per person per day on selected departures which is combineable with their 10% CruiseSale discount on selected cabin grades and sailings

Fred Olsen also continue to offer reduced ‘Anchor’ fares based on specific cabin grades and sailings
