Have you ever cruised in a staff cabin?

One of the questions I get asked a lot about cruising is 'where do the crew sleep at night?'
On one memorable occasion I remember one person asked me if the crew went home at night!
The easy answer is that staff and crew cabins tend to be below the water line at the bottom of the ship; well out of the way of the guests.
The staff quarters tend to be a lot smaller and more crammed in than guests cabins but can be quite nice still.
A lot of guests sometimes show an interest in crew cabins and want to see them but they're normally told that the cruise line won't allow this.
However after a phone call to a cruise line this morning I've found out not only can you view some crew cabins you could book a cruise in one if you wanted!

This might not be for everyone, but.......

Ever fancied a cruise but thought the price was just too much out of your reach. Have you ever considered a Re-Positioning cruise?
These are when a cruise line has been sailing in one area for a season, say the Caribbean, and re-position the ship in another area, say the Mediterranean. You can book passage on the ship as it sails from the one location to the next, and because there won’t be lots of destinations you usually get massive discounts.
As an example I have just booked a client on the MSC Melody sailing from Cape Town South Africa to Genoa Italy in March 2011. The cruise is 18 days long calling in at Walvis Bay in Namibia, Jamestown in St. Helena, Dakar in Senegal, Arrecife De Lanzarote in Spain, Barcelona in Spain, and then Genoa Italy along the way.
The Price for this unbelievable 18 day cruise was only £350!!!
Yes £350!!!
Even after I had added flights, MSC could do London to Cape Town and then Genoa back to London for just £630. That’s a total of £980! Only £54 per day, with all your food and entertainment thrown in.
If this cruise is of interest to you or you just want to have a chat about any other Re-Positioning cruises give me a call on 0800 408 6142.

Happy Cruising
