Host Hattie Posted September 9, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 9, 2017 After last week's reports of hideous flight delays, Scrapnana (I think) asked about a discount for booking your own flights. I have just booked for next year, sailing from Southampton and returning from Barcelona and had £150 discount per person for booking Cruise only.

cruiseluvva Posted September 9, 2017 #2 Share Posted September 9, 2017 After the hideous charter flights we had this year, we will NEVER booking one again, so that's good to read. Thank you Hattie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adammara Posted September 9, 2017 #3 Share Posted September 9, 2017 And you can come back by train these days, great for non flyers! We have met several people cruising from Southampton who cannot fly, either from a fear of flying, or medical reasons like us. A charter train to med based cruise would be great!

robbie_3 Posted September 9, 2017 #4 Share Posted September 9, 2017 There is a TA that has a Cunard med cruise package to Venice returning on the Orient Express. Great value when you look at the separate price of a OE booking. We are thinking of doing this next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Hattie Posted September 9, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted September 9, 2017 We did an Orient Express trip after a QV cruise finishing in Venice. We got the train to Vienna, had a couple of nights there and then got back on the train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbie_3 Posted September 9, 2017 #6 Share Posted September 9, 2017 That's the one we are thinking about Hattie, was it as good as you imagined? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Hattie Posted September 10, 2017 Author #7 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Yes, it was a great experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbie_3 Posted September 10, 2017 #8 Share Posted September 10, 2017 That's good to know, thanks. On a general note we no longer fly as a rule so it's good to learn of a possible discount for those that might want to make alternative arrangements I can also see cruise only becoming more popular.

Host Hattie Posted September 11, 2017 Author #9 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I originally did it so we could fly back to our local airport but I do like a good train journey so it's definitely something to consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
