Cruises

The world of Cruises in 2011 was an interesting one to say the least; whether it was the latest of the new builds to come on board or the demise of the cruise agents Gills Cruises, there was something that had an effect on almost every cruiser.

Cruises 2012

As we get towards the end of 2011 the thought of Cruises 2012 comes to mind; hence this website about cruises! Many cruisers, especially the regulars would have already booked their 2012 cruises, though just as many, including numerous first timers may just be starting to think about them.

One of the big changes in 2011 does have a big effect on Cruises in 2012; this is the new pricing policy of Complete Cruise Solution. CCS run P&O Cruises; Princess Cruises and Cunard in the UK and have introduced a policy of a flat 5% commission which should stabilise prices and mean that the companies that offer the best customer services will win the cruise trade. Those that undercut will suffer in the future as they will not have funds to pay for the back-end staff that will make the handling of cruise sales in 2012 run smoothly.

Cruises 2013

As for cruises in 2013; well some are on sale now and like cruises in 2012 the pricing policy of CSS means it will be just as cheap to buy 2013 cruises directly from P&O Cruises as it will be from an agent.
