Website Changes

Due to many factors the cruise news section has been somewhat neglected, however this is now being fixed and over the course of the week all the missing news from 2009 will be included within the news section. There will be a few other changes as we try and bring Cruisegle up to scratch. There are still a lot of cruise lines pages needing work along with cruise ship pages.

The home page which has been set up for cheap cruises will also be changed to look more like that of other cruise agents websites. The main reason for these changes is to try and give a complete cruise website with full cruise search ability and a great knowledge base for both current and new cruisers.

Finally the Cruises 2011 sub domain has bean started and as usual will have cruises added daily until in about 6 months time all the 2011 cruises will be online. There will be a number of ships starting their first full year of cruising in 2011 including the Allure of the Seas a sister ship to Oasis of the Seas another 220,000 super liner belonging to Royal Caribbean.

Cruise news for cruises in 2011 will appear in our cruise news section, which itself will be updated soon.

Gillett Travel

Gillett Travel ceased trading on September 11th 2009 with more than 4,000 clients having booked holidays with them. Specialising in cruise holidays Gillett Travel was the trading name for G&B Travel and was based in Bolton, Lancashire.

ABTA is advising clients to contact the cruise lines about their bookings with the two largest groups of cruise lines, Complete Cruise Solution (Cunard, P&O Cruises, Princess Cruises and Ocean Village) and Royal Caribbean (Celebrity Cruises and Azamara Cruises) announcing that they will take over the bookings for Gillett Travels clients.

Anyone not sure of how they stand on the collapse of Gillett Travel can get more information from ABTA on 01202 596 699 quoting the claims reference AB8999 and Gillett Travels ABTA No 30881

Cruise Travel Agent Goes Bust Logo

Cruise Travel Agent Goes Bust

A Windsor based Cruise Travel Agent,  Windsor & Neate Travel has apparently gone bust. Thankfully though of little consequence to some, they were members of ABTA as well as a member of Advantage Travel Centres.

This will not be the last holiday company to hit the wall during this recession and probably not the last cruise travel agent either. All companies offering cheap cruises and cheap holidays will have problems if the market does not improve further.

Cheap Cruises on Twitter Logo

Cheap Cruises on Twitter

We have added Cruisegle to Twitter, not under the cheap cruises banner, but under our name Cruisegle. Although Twitter is a great tool for socialising most companies use it now for getting little snippets of information across the world fast.

As you can see, most of the top cruise lines are following us, so we must be doing some things right. Some of the posts from off here will be tweated automatically and our aim is to become recognised as the place for Cheap Cruises on Twitter.

Cruises Insect Repellent Logo

Cruises Insect Repellent

No, I am not talking about that waiter who will not leave you alone! I am on about Incognito, the Insect Repellent from Lessmosquito. You may have seen them on Dragons Den in a failed attempt to gain monies from the parasites, well it looks to me like the insect repellant did it’s job as the parasites never bit! Since then the company has grown and could well be remebered as the one that got away from the Dragon’s.

Back to cruises, what has insect repellent got to do with cruising? Well, do you not go to hot places? Just because you are cruising in luxury can you not suffer the odd bite or two? Yes! So why not give Incognito Insect Repellent a go, if you bought one of the many Planet Cruises cheap cruises, you can afford the £7.99 for insect relief.

There is a slight delay to the rolling out of our Cheap Cruises Itineraries section, this was due to a technical issue yesterday; all sorted now and things are back on track.

What will this new Cheap Cruises Itineraries section offer? Well a list of all the cruise ships that are frequented by UK passengers and their cruise itineraries. Our goal on Cruisegle is to help find you cheap cruises, we hope this new section will aid you in this.
