Does anyone know of any 2010 deals for Royal Carribean ships either Med or Greece ?
I need 3 cabins with 2 in each which I am paying for as its for a special family occasion, we specifically want to go away on or to inc the 11th July 2010, and need to find the best deal I possibly can due to me having the outlay.
Any help appreciated as I am not very good at finding deals.

I just priced up a 7n RCI, ex LA, 24 May, Mariner cruise only on RCI web site with UK setings
£502.44 total for 2 pax inc tax and tips, it was more using US settings.

If allready in the US there are some good deals around.

first rule of deals flexabily

By closing the date, region, cruise line you have narrowed your deal to ship and timing.

Your choices are 6n,7n,13n,14n 7n/7n on the following.

2010/06/02 Brilliance.
2010/06/03 Independance
2010/06/10 Aventure
2010/06/10 Spledour
2010/06/11 Voyager
2010/06/11 Navigator

Start by pricing up all these and setting targets for each one you are interested in

Check the RCI web site regularly for all the options and wait for a price drop.

you could book one and hope for price drops but I woul keep my options open untill May next year unless a bargain comes up.

Any over 55s in the group RCI often have good discounts

Keep a VERY close eye on this years pricing and look or any trendsit will give you targets for next year

Gtt all the deal emails you can and check them all.

No substitute for investing time, I check prices every day looking for deals.

Thanks Windjammer

It seems that RCI have a Cruise sailing from Rome on the 11th July which would be ideal and we like the itinery, the thing I have a problem with is finding deals. I have priced it on RCI own website but I know that it is probably going to be cheaper elsewhere and may have free onboard credit etc.

It is all your fault by the way!! You recommended and put me on to the Voyager of the Seas RCI last year and now I'm hooked haha!! Thanks though because we had a really good time hence taking the family on a RCI cruise next year for my sons 21st with his girlfriend and my daughter and her friend.

I think this is new- if not I'm sure Windjammer will know.

Every little bit helps

Another cheap Baltics

Celebrity Constellation 13June 14N £569

This time with saveNsail.

Further cheap Baltics deal

NCL Jewel 22 May 2009 12N £408 (online booking) and free parking at Dover

Currently on cruise.co.uk website

IMHO, not as good a cruise line as Celebrity but good value at £34 per night.

Given the quality of the cruiseline and ship, this must be the deal of the summer so far, from Cruise Kings:

Does it really get much better than this?

Celebrity Constellation - 13th June 2009 - Scandinavia & Russia - 14nts
Harwich, Copenhagen, Warnemunde, Helsinki, St Petersburg (overnight), Tallinn, Stockholm (overnight), Oslo, Harwich

From only £549pp for 14nts

Gill's Cruises also have it for £569

And another real bargain, with free parking at Southampton, from Gill's cruises!!

Norwegian Jade
12 July 2009 for 14 nights
Southampton - Malaga - Barcelona - Cannes - Livorno (Florence/Pisa) - Civitavecchia (Rome) - Gibraltar - Lisbon - Vigo - Southampton
From under an incredible £50pp per night!
Inside from £699pp
Outside from £799pp
Balcony from £1099pp
Free Car Parking

Do all the NCL UK prices still inc the service charges?

I cannot imagine they would from the TA's. The prices on NCL website do, and are considerably higher than the prices available with TA's for the cruises mentioned. Incidentally, anyone going for those NCL deals will be better pre-paying the service charge to the TA at £6.50pppd. If not, then the on-board charge is $11, which is approximately £8pppd at current exchange rates. Not a big saving, but every little helps!

NCL service are $12pppd if paid onboard definately worth prepaying the UK £6.50 rate.

They have been off loading the Jewel through TAs for the baltic cruises no sign of the Jade trips yet which are still cheaper through the US even with the $12.

ps.
Looks like I may be redundant so may have a chance to pick up some of these bargains

Another NCL deal

This one is close on price with NCL direct for the inside GTY.

Round britain 13N 31 May £658 (idealcruising)

NCL UK £699 L GTY
NCL US £682 N GTY ($1034)

when looking at US prices it is $799 + $235 tax

uk tips are 6.50pd so £84.50(prepaid) against $12pd £102.77, so the US needs to be £20 cheaper to win on price.

Big jump in price to go up the grades so watch this space for any price drops.

Nice itinerary

http://www.ncl.co.uk/itinerary/voyage_british_isles.html

UK bookings should include the free parking, if not with a TA then check with NCL direct this could swing the deal, parking for the 13n at the port is £117

Here is an interesting one for our Dublin viewers

http://www.vacationstogo.com/fastdeal.cfm?deal=20059

Dublin to stockholm Baltics 12n $899+tx. Tahitian Princess

No idea on flights back though.

windjammer!! a nice little find from Dublin 90 miles down the road from us would be a dream if we could find more cruises from here and not have the expensive add on like flights and overnight hotels .this date does not suit will be doing my Alaska cruise then but as a group we are looking for a bargain Sept-Oct not many about yet do you think they may reduce a little closer to the time

Another Norway option this time cruiseclubuk
