This is tempting. Very tempting.
I heard about it on Clark Howard's radio show. ( Same place I heard about MagicJack)
I priced it for a 7 day Mediterranean cruise and it was as low as $45 USD per day per person, double occupancy!

It is essentially a floating hotel where you are at port for 21 hours and then mosey on to the next port.
Meals are available on board though not included.
You have a floating hotel room just offshore in areas where rooms normally cost outrageous amounts.

Feb 10, 2006 -- "Easy" empire offers cruise deals! About year and a half ago, Clark talked about a discount cruise line that started up in Europe called EasyCruise. The company does Mediterranean cruises at about a fifth of what they would normally cost. And the company is now sailing in the Caribbean, with stops in spots like St. Lucia, Barbados and Martinique. The costs are per night/per cabin and some nights are as cheap as $12 a night. That’s for two people sharing a cabin! Most cruises cost at least $100 per person, per night. These are very basic ships with the noticeable orange everywhere. And food and drink are not included. But if you want to visit these destinations and stay for less, this is your ticket. You have a floating hotel room just offshore in areas where rooms normally cost outrageous amounts. You are at port for 21 hours and then you mosey on to the next spot. EasyCruise will be docked in the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale, in addition to its Mediterranean ports, according to recent news reports. There are also Easy flights, hotel rooms, Internet cafes and cell phone deals.

pavlustravel.com Just booked a 10 day tour of spain for my family for winter break. 10% discount right off trafalgar prices, 5% for repeat customers.. I've found them to be cheaper than vacationstogo.com, and since they're both booking agents, price is all that matters.

I don t think Easycruise goes to Mykonos by the way, as you have put up a photo of hte island! Even though the island rocks :P I think the boat sails alongside the French Riviera. Not a bad route, though the cabins are tiny. If you don t have a prblem with that then it s not a bad idea. But, if you are coming all the way from the states then I wouldn t suggested it.

Roger, apparently this is one bug party. Young people drunk who knows maybe drugs, on a floating party. Its a reaction to the discount market I think, students and budget travellers. I was going to go on it with my friends.
