Thanks Girls
I would like to try a freedom class ship, do you know if any do the greek isles or anywhere other that the Carribean that doesn't include Rome Sicily or Livorno? I dont mind if one of them pops up, but not all 3. Also I want 14 days, I felt like I was just getting around the ship when it was time to pack up and go!
Wish I was at sea now
I probably wont go for it anyway but have any of you tried a Fred Olson Cruise? The only reason I ask is that they sail out of Liverpool Port which is only approx 6 miles from whereI live. I would love RCI to go from Liverpool.

From this web site you can also monitor what is happening with prices. I also watch for better located rooms as often there will be cancellations
I do this and when I see a change I act on it but rather for me it is Celebrity. Have had the advantage of many price drops in the past 30 months or so. 2 on my upcoming NZ/OZ cruise and was able to upgrade to a 2A balcony for just £200. This was from a grade 9 inside room. The same rule applies to Royal Caribbean.
I still check the prices for this and for twin occupancy the prices are unbelievable currently.
Obviously the cruise is not sell due to the flight costs etc and Celebrity are pulling out of the NZ/OZ Market after this winter.
Good luck and just do the homework

The Black Prince(ex liverpool) being the smaller of the FO ships does have some limitations and is not that new(old in fact) reviews are mixed.
We have done a few short cruises(Black Watch, Breamar) and liked them but they were much more laid back very British.
Smaller ships with a very friendly atmosphere. We have them on the list for the short breaks and any itineraries that look very good, not so sure for a longer holiday trip with lots of sea days.
They have a very loyal set of passengers that like the offering.
Again I would suggest trying a shorter trip to try it out. if you don't mide a one way bus/train ride the 2-3 day relocs come up very good value late bookings sometimes.
this is a link for the FO deals sorted on price,

For Greek Island cruises you would need to look at Splendour or Legend of the Seas. All the others either start from Rome or include it in their itinerary. Most of the cruises that leave from Med Ports are shorter- 7 days or so. Indy is the only 14 day one I believe. If you need 14 days then just stay onboard the day they go into Livorno??
Don't think Fred Olson are for us.
We will hang on until nearer the time for Independance or Brilliance of the seas as they have itinerys more suited to us, and look fab.
Any deals you guys see can you PM me please.
Happy cruising
