Inexpensive, last minute getaway
 

Just saw this on Today.
EASYCRUISE.com

accommodation is on a room only basis and each cabin has private shower, w.c. and is made up with linen and towels on arrival. Then you decide how much you want to spend either ashore or onboard in the bar, restaurant or shop and on fresh linen whenever you need it.

Prices start at around $20 a night!! {No food included nor airfair. to departure}

Maybe just what you wanted??

Hope this helps...

is this the cruise line with the orange rooms? If so, great for kids (meaning 18 and up).

yes, it is the orange rooms. Why do you say kids? I realize that it is bare bones with minimal services, but not for older travelers??

I think if you're an adventurous travler who thinks of a room as a place to shelter and sleep, and only that, I think it'd be great.
Unfortunately, I'm the more lazy traveler who likes comfort and a little luxury, so it's not up my alley. But I have great respect for the other kind of traveler who takes a route like this.

I looked up Holland - the base price is cheap $35 a night, don't remember how much in Euro. Add cleaning and towel change 8.50 euro, and while I tried to look up food prices, got Acrobat's virus warning. Clicked on "debug" and got kicked out of every program, including Fodor's.

I won't dare to open this 2nd time.

I think it's good for young people who want to see Europe for less.

this is the one where the rooms don't have windows, right?

<<Why do you say kids?>>

Because I'm pretty sure that's who will be on these cuises primarily.

On photos, all cabins have windows. I think in description each type has a window, toilet, shower.

Inside rooms do not have windows, outsides do...there are a couple of suites on boat too.

"great for kids" .... Suze thanks for explaining what I meant!

Debi, thanks for passing this on!! My son has decided my idea for a "travel fund" for his Christmas gift is a good idea. I saw this and mentioned it to him and thinks it sounds affordable and fun.

When it says 70 pounds per person, is that for the entire cruise?? How do you find out what the food prices and drink prices are??

And if anyone has any other budget travel websites I would appreciate them as well.

I think I've created a monster traveler. His favorite tv show is TravelChannel.

Have him sign up for travelzoo.com eletters.

I get the travelzoo eletters. Just wondering if there are other sites geared for cheap travel -- hostels, etc.

Thanks!
