We will be using our 50% off voucher on this cruise following the cancellation of the inaugural cruise last year.

We also got an extra 5% for being Oceans Members. So we have done quite well with discounts without even asking for tehm.

Hi John

Do they take the 55% off the lowest fare quoted for the cruise or off the usual brochure price.

That sounds a good deal.

Friends of mine join the Braemar for her Atlantic crossing next month.

This will be their seventh trip on her.

I should clarify. The price we are qyoted for the cruise is 45% off the "usual" price. As Ocean Members we get 5% off the quoted price. After the 5% deduction we then get our 50% compensation discount.

It is a very good deal.

Now that I have completed the Alaskan cruise I can start planning this cruise. One thing I need to do is get a decent camera. The one I have is good but I missed a few good photo opportunities in Alaska and don't want to that in the Arctic.
