Where is it?

Can you please give some more details like URL, dates, routes, etc? I don't see the offer. This should be reported to http://www.farealert.net .

You can find it on travelzoo.com

I posted it here BUT I did not send it to farealert.net because when things are reported to farealert they get gone in ten minutes!

I wanted to reward the loyalty of FT readers.

It's basically posted on farealert -- practically everyone gets that Travelzoo email.

My god... Easycruise. I saw something on TV about that. A huge vessel painted in orange. Pay extra for everything; a 2m x 2m50 double with no ensuite, no window and next to the engine room; drunk English folk around you, only a pool of 3m x 3m on deck. You will certainly not have a good time. It's marketed for young folks with no money, and the product is alike.

six-person jaccuzzi

bunk beds... lack of service facilities...

I thinking of booking...Prices are high to the required major airport/ports. So what is the best MR to either GND, BGI, or SLU from NYC 12/8-15

Yeah, I got the Travelzoo email too. I considered it, but decided it'd cost me an arm and a leg to get down there. They claim their average pax age is 33, but I figured it'd be a 24/7 spring break-like scene. Not appealing.

Whomever goes, have a great time. Let us know how it was.

Yeah, The whole deal seems very not like a "cruise" in any common sense to me. If the mode of transportation is the trip itself, I'd like it to be nice.

But, I'll be curious to hear if it's as "spring break" as it seems like.

ps. whoops-y have I replied to myself, thought was editing the post.

surprisingly good reviews

clearly not the traditional cruise but I was surprised by the positive tone of reviews of the Med ones this summer, eg:

http://travel.guardian.co.uk/saturda...483253,00.html

however as the web site seems permanently stuck at present it may not matter anyway
