  Jarred , try Bolsover Cruise Co. [they are online]. They are agents for major cruise lines & offer 15% discounts on top of cruise companies discounts. Been using them a for a decade. Excellent service and backup.

  Leader of the Council = cruise.
  Us poor Councillors with free train travel = Derbyshire.
  LOL thats laugh out loud Paul not the David Cameron version.

  Self employed= take a long weekend every couple of years and catch up on DIY jobs.

  As a retired self employed person with pension I think I'm entitled to spend my pension how I wish John..
  
  I also like to get the best price because someone of your political persuasion decimated my pension pot & that of many millions of others.
  
  Don't get free rail travel but do have senior rail card John as you know.
  
  My wife does not trust me with DIY jobs Peter so that benefits local economy by using trades people.

  Not complaining Brian but certainly don't do the Delta/North West Airlines John manages in another thread.

  Jarred - email me on advice@regency-ifa.co.uk and I will give you details of one of my clients based nearby who is an expert on cruising and can get some great deals. He also provides first class advice. While cruising is 'his thing' he even managed to save me £50 on a weekend away in Brugge coming up soon compared to what we could do ourself via the internet with exactly the same break!!! A contact well worth having for anyone who like to holiday!!
