Standard cabins down to £29 thats £14.50pppn half the origional pricing.

So Stelios its all going well.

Just looked up the website and seems like you can get up to 11 May for £29 per room. That's cheaper than a hotel room in any of the cities though. I have mixed feelings about it. If you want to hop about europe, maybe there's nothing wrong with it. However you have to get the flights to match up, which isn't easy from Scotland, nor probably last minute when the good cruise prices are available!

Forgot to say - anyone looked at

The rooms are strikingly similar to the cruise cabins. Sunglasses definitely required!

Hi Alit,

thanks for telling us about this programme. I heard about it a while ago and thought itd be interesting.

It is on Sky One on Friday 29th at 9pm and for those of us with a Freeview box it's on Sky Travel on the 1st of May, again at 9pm. I am certain it'll be repeated ad-naseum, after all they are still showing Cruise Ship. I keep tuning in hoping for a new episode but it is just the same old ones repeated for about the twentieth time.

I wonder if it'll do much for the cruise market and whether the motto all publicity is good publicity is true? Will people be dazzled by those cabins and will the programme be sponsored by Tango or Sunny Delight?

Craig.

Idiot that I am I missed it but a bit of digging and it is repeated on sky travel. so have a recording pending

Saw a bit last night during refit and looks like it will be very interesting.

Saw the programme and also visited the website! Certainly not for me but Hey Ho will suit some folks I think. I certainly agree with what they said on the programme about it being a bit like a ferry. It's just seems to me, a place to lay your head after a day/night on the town. Doesn't seem much to do on-board and once you have paid for your cabin and add on food (1 burger £4.50), and your flights, you will certainly spend as much as on a "normal" cruise. Also don't think I could sleep soundly in an ORANGE room, not to mention watching/hearing my room mate using the toilet facilities!!!

I thought I had added to this thread since watching but must have forgot to press submit.

Not sure yet if this will work but we have looked at cruises that do overnight stays in port and like them. but out onboard spend is minimal.

I though there was too much glass in the cabins for the out on the town sorts wonder how long they will last(cabins).

The locals pointed out this is the riviera a place for the rich and famous they want people who spend money as visitors.

Cost to start up this operation £20Million was Stelios' claim. I wonder what break even cabin pricing needs to before the next refit(which will be a lot cheaper)

One significant fact, the ship is the sister ship to daddies boat so I wonder if stelios is still trying to prove himself to his dad.

Loooking forward tothe rest of the series.

I don`t much like the look of this as a proper cruise, but if you want to hop on and off it could work out ok as an alternative to travelling by land.

A sort of floating Tango-bus!

Don`t fancy sharing a jacuzzi with several hundred sweaty backpacking students either...........rather be keelhauled! :lol:
