Thomson Cruises - more generous than the other cruise lines

When it comes to booking 3 passengers in a cabin then Thomson Cruises win the prize for being the most generous. Not only do they give a very good 3rd adult reduction, but they will also allow all adults in a cabin to have the on board credit.

This is the only cruise line that I know of that do this, most restricting the on board credit to the first two passengers only. They may not have such new ships but you can see why they have such a loyal customer base.

Cunard Christmas Cracker?

Cunard's Queen Victoria is sailing a 16 nights canaries cruise departing on the 19th December. Taking in Christmas and New Year and cruising to one of the warmer destinations, she should be the ideal choice. Yet this Christmas cruise still has availability when nearly all other cruises sold out months ago.

Maybe it's the recession - although P&O, Ocean Village and NCL all appear unaffected. Maybe she's too expensive, but with free upgrades, on board credit and keen discounting I think she offers an attractive proposition. I'm stumped, I can see no reason why she hasn't sold - can you?
