You're right. Their prices are very good for certain lines.

You'll usually find that other well known UK agents will price match if you can prove the Smartcruiser price quoted.

I booked a cruise with them last night. Even with the poor $ exchange rate their price knocks anything available in the UK for six with that particular transatlantic cruise. Never used them before, and will find out in less than a month whether or not they are reputable!!

So what deal did you get in the end?

Just check you booking with the cruise line and make sure the payments go through.

Please share your find Hamrag.
I am on cruise watch looking for something good and this company may be another 'port of call' .

Every price I have ever got off Smartcruise was beaten or matched by Bath Travel so I've never actually booked with them.

Let us know how you get on.

OK, and before doing so I will edit in a comment made by me back in November before Tuppence or anyone else throws it back at me!!
We have used 8 different cruiselines, but neither Costa or MSC, and would be unlikely to book with them for the very reasons stated by mehmeh.

We have booked a 17 night transatlantic on the Costa Fortuna, leaving Fort Lauderdale on 15th March and ending in Savona, Italy on 1st April. The ports are the attraction for us, 4 or 5 Caribbean ports before heading from Barbados to Tenerife, Madeira and then Barcelona. By going into the Med, and not up to Southampton, Dover or Harwich then potentially weather is better all the way.

And now the real reason, we paid $608 for an inside guarantee which equates to about £425 for a 17 night cruise!! Cheapest available in UK was £650ish. We are flying with Flyglobespan, for £190 each, direct from Glasgow to Orlando Sanford 5 days (10th March) before cruising. We plan to hire a car and visit a couple of places on the Atlantic coast of Florida (have done the Disney, and everything else, thing in Florida twice before when our family were kids) and embark on the 15th. At the Europe end we will abort the cruise a day early in Barcelona as we can get a Flyglobespan flight direct to Glasgow only £50 each.

We get a 3 week holiday for an incredible price, and will happily on this occasion take Costa as we find it!

Wow!!! Fabulous deal!! Nice one.
