EasyCruise: No frills cruising on the horizon OR Speaking Of Not Paying For Service..
"Cruising Chrissy" wrote in message http://makeashorterlink.com/?G51121087 I saw a story about this the other day. In it, the president was talking about the prices being about $60 per night per person, and then the traveler had to pay for meals etc onboard. As well as having to clean his/her own cabin. Ummm, I paid about $60 per night for my upcoming cruise. So where's the bargain? -- LES! "It takes the Village People to raise a child.

So where's the bargain? easyCruise from £29 a night "City-hopping by sea" or a "floating hotel" to enjoy your holidays in more than one exciting destination. Stelios is going back to his maritime roots by launching a cruise line that will bring unprecedented value to the Mediterranean and the Caribbean and will create a whole new cruise market among the 20,30 and 40 year olds. easyCruise will adopt all of the easyGroup principles by eliminating frills and unbundling the package which currently exists in the industry. In addition the best prices will be available to customers who book at www.easyCruise.com on the basis of the earlier you book the less you pay and with peak periods costing more than off-peak periods. Cabin prices will start at £29 a night. I'm not good on my pounds to $$ conversions these days but I believe this is cheaper than $60. http://www.easycruise.com/ Also, "At present the cruise industry is an all expenses paid trip which lasts a week (or specified length of time) where passengers embark at point A and then get off at point A at the end of the cruise. Typically round trip charter flights are included in the package. The result is that the cruise industry appeals only to wealthier, older customers who have time on their hands. easyCruise will un-bundle this package and offer rooms on board the ship on a night by night basis, so that customers can cruise for as many or as few days and nights as they wish. They will be expected to make their own way to the ship, typically using the abundance of low cost flights which serve the Mediterranean these days. Sailing will be for no more than about 6 hours a day departing in the early hours of the morning and arriving at a new and exciting port every day by lunch time. Food and beverage will be available from the ship's restaurant and shop on a "pay as you go" basis so that passengers can purchase according to their appetite and budget. House keeping will be an optional extra." The Not So Fine Art Of Google - Go To Top Of Thread http://makeashorterlink.com/?E29A321E6 |

I'm not good on my pounds to $$ conversions these days but I believe this is cheaper than $60. I've been told the best way to figure BPS and USD is to multiply the BPS by 2 and you have about what it is in USD (about 1.8 times the BPS is the average rate) So, 29 bps is about 53 usd. Depending on the time of year and the ports (since it is a smaller ship it might have more off-the-beaten pat ports) it might still be worth it. But most people think of cruising as being pampered a bit.. and there is nothing pampering about making your own bed. Afterall, I can do that for free at home lol. Particularly when you can get a finer product for slightly more expensive. -- LES! "It takes the Village People to raise a child.
