Since I recomended in a recent post that signing up for emials was a good way to find/get deals I was asked by Luci(one of the Mods) to share the information.
So I would like this thread to be a place where we can share hints tips and usefull links specificaly helpfull to those seeking cruise deals.
My first contribution will be to some of the cruise lines and I have used the following format(would have liked to use tables) and will use the similar format for a future post to some on-line travel agent info
Cruise line | UK link | us link | email sign up link | offers link |
Now these links may change over time so if you find a link does not work then a follow up post with correct links would be helpfull.
I have not used all the agents/cruislines that I get information from and so I would prefer if we keep the thread to usefull info and promoting/slagging off a cruise line or agent can be done elsewhere.

Many, many thanks for that WJ as I know it wasn't a 5 minute job.

TXT acts as a portal to a lot of companies so there is no dedicated Email or offers page. but the searches used to show up the odd special not seen elsewhere(not used it since the latest revamp of the pages.)
TXT is still very popular for some companies especialy those associated with the major UK brands, First choice and Thomsons etc, so a lot of really good deals are on those pages and the prices are normaly a bit lower than those shown on the web sites.
As well as the TXT adds on regular tv and some pages on Digital that I have not checked recently they also put the regular TXT ads ON-LINE.
(sorry for the long links the URL tag parser is broken)

I did get some problems this morning checking the links worked but the pages were being updated. A refresh seemed to work but I did notice some advert tracking which could also contribute to my problem(blocked).
You are doing a great job here and the information lets people out there what is available.
Thanks, still got the TA stuff to do, may take a while I have some family and work stuff to do over the next week and still trying to find a couple of cruises for 2007
When WJ gets around to adding the individual TA's, can it be a 'Sticky' too and can it be made so that members can add to it too? I personally subscribe to quite a number and some of these are outstanding with what they can offer i.e. reducing cruises further by including some of their commission! I also know of a couple which are good for Solo cruisers, one of which actually has a thread purely devoted to solo cruising offers!
Cheers

Hopefully Windjammer will add the TA's to this topic so they're all in one place. I don't want too many sticky topics at the top of the forum.

I was not going to make any special comments but I think the idea of those that do have "single traveler" specials may be a usefull addition
I do note that some of the current stickies are probably past their best and could be demoted.
