I used to book last minute but now with air fares what they are they get more expensive by the minute to Australia I wanted to make a decision on this ..
I have never been on a cruise .
Many years in the Carribean seeing ginormous cruise ships disgorging tourists has put me off .
Buy a European one does sound interesting .
Like everything else until one tries it etc. I used to absolutely hate the idea of being stuck on a cruise ship, believe me I was the most anti person on this planet.
What swayed me was the thought of seeing other countries without having to worry about travelling and the cost.
OOPs have to say I was really worried ,not being able to swim as well, so did the River Nile. Well at least we would be close to the shore.
That got me hooked. I cannot think of any other holiday where you get so much for the price. There is the cabin, and they are large with views that change every day. there also is the 24 hour food service let alone more entertainment than you can see in one day, and it is all included.
This next one includes trips out as well against having to book individual ones which makes a change.
Not only that but duty free thrown in, but the savings are not that great, one can get on the internet cheaper.
Can't really see this being done in a hotel, it was a hoot watching them
