A great way to gather friends or family

It seems we are all leading very busy lives and how often do we tell our friends/family that we must arrange that “get together” we have been promising ourselves. Then weeks turn into months and again, sadly, into years.

One of the best ways to do this is on a 2 night short break with P&O, when the new summer 2015 season is launched there will be many lead in prices at only £199 pp for an inside cabin. So I did a little cost analysis for myself.

2 night cruise £199.00 per person (based on Oriana 7th October 2014)
Transport/parking (depending on where you are travelling from) maximum £100.00 so therefore the total cost for the weekend would be £500.00

I know I keep using poor Manchester for this but here goes

2 nights in a decent 4* Hotel

Room Cost
Tue Oct 07, 2014 £143.20 GBP Wed Oct 08, 2014 £143.20 GBP
Subtotal £286.40 GBP Estimated Taxes £0.00 GBP Estimated Additional Fees £0.00 GBP Total
ESTIMATED COST
£286.40

Breakfast for two days

Already the cost has reached £486.40 and we only have breakfast. Add to this the amazing entertainment laid on for you, food all day/night including 24 hour room service and the value is there for all to see.
