Got a thing from Bolsover yesterday plugging Fred. He is now offering all inclusive drinks upgrades for £6.99 per night! Caveat of selected beers, wines & spirits; but up to 50% off others.

Is Fred trying to attract a new crowd?

It seems that all the cruise lines are heavily undersubscribed and are trying different things to attract customers.

At the moment, it's playing into our hands with some incredible bargains out there.

Some people are boderline obsessed with how P&O do things but if you look round, they are all at it in one way or another.

Even the very upmarket, elite companies have brilliant late deals at the moment.

As for a new crowd ? I don't know. Any crowd, I think.
Empty vessels .. and all that

AGree Barney, I get deals and promotions from virtually every line these days (by email and post).
They are all trying to put heads on beds ... good for the consumer, particularly if they can go at short notice.
