Would someone please advise about booking via American TAs. I see that VTG now show international booking rules that prevent UK residents from booking on most cruise lines.

We don't have a US residence, do I have to book via a UK site?

Thanks in advance.

try http://www.cruisecompete.com

As long as you say you are UK those US TAs willling to sell will make offers on your trip.

I used it to home in on BestPriceCruises which worked for a couple of trips.
Not so good when we wanted to make changes the internet discounts get clawed back.

NCL still are OK with UK doing US bookings.

P&O Oriana, 2nd June 14 nights return Southampton for £699 inside. Goes to the lower reaches of Norway, then across to Iceland and ends up with Dublin and then Cork. If only it had been 16th June, would already be booked, and it is a "one off" seasonal cruise!

sorry, late edit, should have said it is iglucruises.co.uk or com

For those that like a smaller ship.

I have a flyer from Page&Moy(not sure how old it is but think less than a week.)

Athena Iceland and Norway 14 May. Baltic(including Keiel canal) 1 May
Ex Harwich both 14nights
tried to check on-line but it is phone and prices are higher.

£599pp Inside.
£999pp Suite(best available) includes VIP pack with parking,bubbly, £40 credit for an excurtion.

A quick search I cannot find a lot of info about the suites sizes.

For the itineraries this is a good deal if you can get it.

Ventura- 5th Jun 2010 - Short Break Cruise - 7nts
Southampton, La Coruna, Bilbao, La Rochelle, Brest, Guernsey, Southampton

CruiseKings offer at £399 inside sadly, for us, the date is not quite right! There are other P&O offers that look enticing from May-July if you want to access the cruisekings website!

I noticed on teletext at lunch time today P227, that the Ventura 14 night Med cruise on 3rd July is effectively £729. The price is £929 for an inside with £200pp OBC. For those who would spend at least £400 on board this is a really good deal. Not sure what is going on at P&O these days, but many of their sailings are available at prices I have not seen before!

What has happened to the Updated headline on Teletext holiday deals?

When I get the site to show the print version to see 10 pages at once, they all have exactly the same Last Updated date and time.

This is a real hassle, as you have no idea how old the deals are.
