sorted byThe bus terminal is a 5 minute walk from the cruise terminal. Buses 91 and 60 will take you to the airport in about 50 minutes and cost £2.60. You can pay by credit card. They run every 20- 30 minutes and are reliable.
If you have some time to kill before your flight, Canteras beach is one of the best city beaches anywhere and is a 10 minute walk from the cruise terminal. Most of the cruise lines will allow you to leave your luggage in their pickup area until about 5 pm. However, there is no secure left luggage at either the cruise terminal or bus station.
Or spend a couple of days in Las Palmas. It is far removed from the tourist south of the island. The city's hotels are quality and good value. Playa Canteras is a good city beach and, 5 miles south of the cruise terminal, the old town and university district has great shopping, bars, restaurants and culture.
-Great holiday to make use of 6th May bank holiday
London flights at time of posting are PP:
Euro 69 (Ryanair), £70.99 easyJet, £100 TUI (edited)
This is a 12n cruise split into 2 6n cruises
Any of the majors
Cruisenation
IGLU
Cruise1st
Cruise.co.uk
Cruiseclubuk
...
Also worth checking MSC USA
Appreciate this cruise is out of Southampton .... which is probably more of a pain for anyone outside the SE anyway
Google flights and Skyscanner are your friends...
12n £828/£1,196
6n £248/£432
6n £303/£487
Worth shopping around often seascanner is not the cheapest.
I'd add igloo & vivavoyage to the comparison list.
Also make sure you compare like for like. e.g. sometimes vacations2go looks super cheap but they are selling the "American" product which doesn't include port fees, taxes or gratuities by default.
My wife and I enjoy a couple of drinks a night .. rarely no more, but also enjoy cocktails.
For us it is difficult to work out the likely cost of these holidays, and for sure we expect it to be considerably more that the headline price of £248pp. Works out to £41.33PPPN, and I am not knocking the deal, but just trying to work out if we could afford this, or similar other cruise deals
So what is the likely cost for the two of us, on board charges, port fees etc.
Thanks I've got my sun glasses at the ready
Drinks package is reasonable.
Don't fly back cruise back.
There is a movie of the day which is a free for all entertainment.y nephews went and they didn't get boarded at all (8, and 16;yo)
Anyway, got home yesterday and a couple of the forum members had been on with me, they had even done the 3 nighter before and I had done the 3 nighter before that last week, anyway on is stying on for this trip to Las Palmas and also doing the return leg Las Palmas to Southampton, the other is flying out to meet him and doing the return leg, I just decided to do the same so I am flying futon Saturday to meet the ship and cruise back, booked on MSC USA website, you can call them as well, cost for a solo passenger is:
Cruise $198 USD
Port fees and taxes $150 USD
Tips $70 USD
I also bought Easy drinks package $294
Wifi package $53
But these are optional
You just need your flights out there, I could only get a business class flight with BA at over £350, business class on these routes is a total waste of money as its the same 3 seats but with the centre blocked off, you get in the airport lounges but I am BA Gold and get there free anyway even if in economy, anyway that arrives at 12.50pm from LGW so just need a 25 min cab ride to the ship from the airport. Another forum member is flying out the night before with Veuling airlines and staying a night win a hotel.
It may suite someone, I have always had the Premium drinks package but don't drink champagne or cocktails so been a bit of a waste of money, but with seascanner you only ever get the choice of nothing or premium.
Other drinks package available prices are:
Premium £305
Easy Plus £305
Easy £234 (includes bottled beer, draught beer, house wines and spirits, soft drinks, teas coffees etc, that will do me!
Still cabins available!
Me and Gadgetdeals will be onboard on the 6th and be happy to welcome and other hotukdealers (edited)
So Easy drinks package is £39 a day including taxes which at £7 plus 15% taxes for a 33cl or 400cl glass of beer means I will be in profit by 10am each day
