What is the best (and cheapest) way to book a cruise?

[elizabethcharlotte]

We think we are going to book a cruise to the Norweigan Fjords for next year. Would you book direct with P and O? Or would it be ok to book through cruise critic which seems to be cheaper? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

I always book direct then try to wangle extras

Reader Offers usually have the best cruise deals going.

Thank you. I will have a look at Readers Offers now as I've never heard if them before.

Feckincrutches What sort of extras do you try to get???

I was looking at cruises today, I noticed freebies like some on board spending money. They had a great round the world one, going through thd Panama Canal, fantastic, £12,000 :0, I was just dreaming, one day maybe.

Try Vivavoyage, their prices are usually a bit less than directly with the cruise company.
