Pay to Have Your Stateroom Cleaned?
Those of you who watch the reality-TV show Airline UK on the A&E Network are already familiar with the UK no-frills airline EasyJet. The airline's founder, Stelios Haji-Ioannou, is a self-described "serial entrepreneur" who has now launched a low-fare, low-service Mediterranean cruise line, EasyCruise, to complement the rest of his very orange EasyEmpire (which includes -- no kidding -- EasyPizza).
The EasyCruiseOne ship seems more like a large ferry to us than a cruise ship, with only 86 staterooms, of which (it seems from their Website) only four have a window. On the upside, you can sail for as little as $50 per person, per night. On the downside, that buys only an ORANGE inside stateroom and you will pay extra for everything from getting your stateroom cleaned, to every last morsel of food.
Doesn't seem like our cup of tea, but then again, we could be biased. The company only books passengers directly, cutting travel agencies like us right out of the loop.
