The perfect setting

Well, what a week it's been at http://www.cruise.co.uk/ !

Most of the staff have been working from 7.30am to 7-8pm. The Cruise Sales, being Cunard, P&O and Princess Cruises

Book your 2011 Princess and Cunard cruise today!

What a crazy time of the year for all Cruise agents, with so many people on the pre reg list so they can be the first to book and secure the cabin of their choice.

At 8am this morning Princess cruises Europe will be on sale at 8am (in about 20 mins) the office, at the moment quiet, will turn into a chaotic place to be, I'm in early but don't have one to book! should have checked properly but as the saying goes...better safe than sorry.

At 1pm Cunard club members can book (thats who I came in early for) it will interesting to see how much of these ships book up on sale day.

So if you are up and about and reading this, then hurry book because you might miss the boat!

The Celebrity Eclipse picks up stranded passengers

tcInaugural celebrations on a brand new £500-million Southampton cruise ship have been put on hold so she could head to Spain to pick up British tourists stranded by air delays caused by volcanic ash.

The 122,000-tonne Celebrity Eclipse is due to leave the city tonight en route to Bilbao.
The luxury vessel was to be in port before a two-day launch cruise starting on Thursday but the crisis caused by the Iceland volcanic eruption changed plans.
