Grand Princess 14 day Caribbean October 25th - $699 if booked through US, worth enquiring what it would be if through UK agent.

Also Grand Princess Transatlantic Sep 25th has plenty of GTY availability at good prices if booked through US agent.

HAving a look for something between now and Xmas these have caught my eye

Noticed the Celebrity constellation has 7n ex BCN for <£300 on the 23rd and 30th Oct.

Flights are not so easy to get as the 23rd is 1/2 term so over £200

Easyjet from Luton works for the 30th at around £140.

Cruise and maritime still offering the ocean countess out of Plymouth

12n for £499. 19 Oct.

Star princess has a med 12n 10 Nov venice to Rome
US site showing cruise at £440(+tx)
Princess UK want over £1k

Royal Caribbean -
Always supposing you could get a reasonable flight at this date , :que the Enchantment of the Seas sails from Baltimore for 9 nights to the Bahamas - starting at $399 plus tax for Inside cabin on November 27th 2010.
The same sailing on 18 Nov or in Dec are around $100 more. A bargain.

This might be a candidate for bargain of the year.

Celebrity Constellation 23rd and 30th Oct
prices are good but there is a 55+ special

cruise fare is £164pp + tax at £73 tips £54.

so the 2 pax totals including tips

£581.66 inside GTY
£761.66 OV GTY
£881.66 Balcony

Suites are also cheap on this cruise
2654.44 royal suite and this can take 3/4pax at £354pp(cheaper to get an inside nearby if you can)

Flights for the 23rd are expensive(1/2 term) but you can get easyjet stansted for £120pp

I'm open to looking at cruises that stop in Limassol (and Larnaca at a push) where we can get on and just pay Cruise Only price, if anyone can help with that?

Ideally, we would like to end up back at Limassol but are open to taking a one way flight back from somewhere we can fly directly to Cyprus. We know we can get flights at the moment with Ryanair into and out of Gerona but not sure how long they have bought that particular route....

Louis Cruises don't seem to have very much planned for next year and they were very quiet this year with their itineraries.

Other than that - looks like we will be Nile Cruising in September to celebrate my hubby's 50th birthday.

We're looking to book only the cruise part (ie - no flights included) as we can make our own way to either of the ports from our home town in Limassol and we can get our own flights very easily with Egyptair if we're doing the Nile cruise.

Anyone got any ideas or deals?

to see if anyone will help, just make sure they know where you are from.

P&O have some good deals for the caribbean still at £799,
Just look on TXT or cruise.co.uk or Cruise1st.co.uk for prices other agents should be able to match.

They were doing 4pax for <£2k inc flights for anyone looking to share these have probably gone now.

Those who know me from these boards will realise I would not choose to sail Thomson, but.....there is a stonker of a transatlantic deal on Dream, sailing from Southampton, La Coruna, Porto, Madeira, right across warm route to St Lucia, then Barbados. £649 for outside cabin, including flight back to Bournemouth, Manchester, East Midlands or Glasgow. Available via travelzoo top 20 deals, with cruise1st, this week.

Looking out the window at 2 feet snow blanket, I really do wish...... Maybe someone?
