The website prices change all the time, at least with the email, you could ring and then see if they can have the advertised price applied. Chances are the cabins are gone and the new prices apply though.:(

Watch out for some of these specials that end up taking more time (and sometimes money) to get you there. some have stopovers without accommodation.:D

Good point Mic, and while Thai is probably ok (don't know) other times they are with smaller carriers that sometimes have an older fleet. Not that they are bad for that, but just worth looking at all the details on offer.

You can find airline safety rankings at a German site called JACDEC. Well respected within the industry.

We have flown Thai, (to Thailand) as well as with domestic flights in Thailand and had only one issue, they ran out of bourbon. The flight, plane and staff were very nice.:D

We would get that as well as the other cruise companies and the TAs all wanting our custom. It does make it hard to resist sometimes.;)

We never seem to get any of these specials from the cruise companies themselves and by the time we get those from the TA's they have been booked.

You need to get onto the email lists, warning though, there is a lot of chaff emails along with the good offers.:D

I like it but as with everyone else, leave is an issue. Retirement may solve this though. Hope these offers a repeated for cruises in the future (years).:D

If you want a deal you have to be proactive in looking out for them. I check out the sites every day. Most times I have seen the deal on a cruise website before I get the email.

 

When you see it you have to jump. You can always reserve a spot for 24 to 3 days depending on the cruiseline or agency. This gives you enough time to think about things.

Yeap. That was the sole aim of creating this thread. Cause I like to post the cheapo deals so figured if I can't go, maybe someone else can go and it grew from there and others started posting deals.
