easyCruise are offering early bookers of their 2009 cruises discounts of up to 30% for bookings made by the 31 August 2008. For Summer some easyCruise prices now include half board and daily housekeeping, which I think it is a much better idea than just paying for the cabin and everything else being payable as an extra. I looked at the on board menu and was pleasantly surprised by the prices with most main courses costing around 8 euro and a litre bottle of mineral water 1.5 euro. Even if meals aren't included you can pre-purchase breakfast and lunch/or dinner for 12 euro per person per day. There are other packages as well offering wine with meals and shore excursions.

The cruises vary in length from 4 days to 14 days. Prices start at £120 per person, based on two sharing a compact inside cabin The journeys between ports, which only last for a few hours, arrive in port by around noon, leaving with the whole afternoon and evening at your destination.
Their cruises concentrate on Greece and her islands but one itinerary visits Albania for a day and another has the option to start your cruise in Bodrum, Turkey.
I've never been on a cruise but this does sound like a pretty good deal and I like the idea of a good amount of time on shore. Have you been on an easyCruise, how would you rate it?
