If you are after a nice break over Christmas, this actually seems a pretty decent price for a no-fly cruise, with a good balance of ports and at sea days. It works on it at £1447pp based on two sharing and like any cruise, tips are extra but you can opt out of automatic and tip independently which I did on Cruise and Maritime. Drinks actually weren't that badly priced and if you had the cocktail of the day it was very reasonable - you can upgrade to All Inclusive drinks for £17pp per day which, depending on how much you can drink could be good value.
When a week in the Canaries full board in a half decent hotel is well over a third of this price at the Christmas and New year's period, I actually think you're a getting a good deal when most cruises tend to have pretty good food compared to the offerings of budget hotels.

Looks like an excellent deal. Of course its 3 weeks in the Atlantic in mid-Winter. Crossing the Bay of Biscay not once, but twice. Leaving the continental shelf for the deep ocean. That's the time and place where the largest ever wave was recorded - 6 storeys high. Where the second highest wave was recorded - a mere 12 metres higher than the main deck. Higher than a house, by far.
Me? I'd love to go. It could be like a three week, no wait, wet water ride with no queues. I wonder if there is a dating site for the like-minded, so I could find someone to go with me?

Could be a bit of chop in the sea there in winter. Like the log flume at Alton Towers for three weeks solid.
