I think you will agree that this is the cheapest we have ever seen cruising before making it so much more appealing to new cruisers and also repeat cruisers, so everyone is a winner.
The cruise business is soaring and with many more ships such as Royal Caribbeans Adventure of the Seas due to start sailing from Southampton things can only get better.
