It seems that Holland America line has increased cruise prices by up to 35% for UK cruisers in the last week mainly due to the collapse of the Pound against the US Dollar.
I've just had a pricing issue with Holland America and I'm certain I'm not alone ...

If you can find any good deals now then grab them quick as the falling pound will surely continue to have a knock on effect.
Just be very careful to check the small print on any cruises you are booking or have booked to make sure there are no clauses to allow the lines to make a future surcharge due to currency movements. (Similar to the horror stories we all heard about fuel surcharges when the Oil price rocketed)
Remember once booked in the UK under UK rules if the prices rises by over 10% you can cancel with FULL refund.
NCL prices do seem a bit higher than last year, but now it is worth booking in the UK before the US prices worked out cheaper so just booked through the US.
Have you check US prices for your cruise?
