Easy Cruise - back in Carribean for 07/08 season?

Country forums / Caribbean

HI all

Checked the EasyCruise website, but it seems to be only offering the Med cruises at the minute - are there plans afoot to return to the Carribean?

Any thoughts on where I can find promotional codes shown on its site?

Thanks in advance

I read a pretty detailed write up a few months ago on www.cruisecritic.com that said that for now, the existing boats that EasyCruise owns would be kept in the Mediterranean but that they were in the process of trying to purchase a few more boats. If & when they do that it sounds like they plan to return to the Caribbean, but I'm thinking that it's getting less and less likely that will be in 2008. I went with them earlier this year and it's a great, inexpensive way to island hop. I'm really hoping they come back soon. Since their Caribbean season (if it's like the last few years) starts in December, if you don't see something on their website in the next month or so, I think you can pretty much write them off as coming back this year for the 2007-2008 season. Too bad ...

Right now they are offering cruises in Belgium & the Netherlands and Greece, and both finish in October. After that, for 2008, they are offering the two Greek cruises (one of them extended to South Albania), which might be done with the same boat: the "Classical Greece" lasts from october to April, and the "Greece 2008" begins in May. So, I suppose they might do like other years, and have a boat in the Caribbean for the European Winter. I sent them a message some weeks ago and have no reply, but I think it happened something similar last year and their offer for the Caribbean appeared only in the last minute. This year they have been visiting St martin/Maarten, Anguilla, St Kitts, Nevis, St Barts and Antigua, and last year they were in the Eastern Caribbean, visiting St Vincent, Barbados, St Lucia, Martinique, Bequia and Grenada. Which would you like for this year?

Do they have sign up to their ferry offers, similar to their flights?
