True, some are in the Carribean (I will be on one this winter) and a few are on RTW's, but there are also some going to Christmas markets etc (as I was last winter!)

Coming down from Scotland (or indeed NI) to join a cruise ship at Southampton adds a day (and sometimes overnight accom etc) to each end of the holiday, so what's not to like if there is an affordable flight down/up on the day of departure/arrival.

Oh, and agree re. the above post from RJ, I don't see an EZY base coming, but I do see flights from other bases (ALC for next Summer?) and maybe even some W's for SOU
