With only 22 days left until St Valentine starts to spread his pixie magic, I guess it's not surprise the cruiselines are trying to get in on the romance scene.
Windstar, the don't-go-on-without-your-loved-one line with real sailing ships, has a great Romance Package - even greater for the fact it is free as long as you book a 2009 cruise and hand over your deposit by February 14.
Romance Windstar-style means chocco-dipped strawberries delivered to the cabin, a bottle of Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label and his and hers massages in the spa. Agents who make a booking will be entered in a draw to win a seven-day cruise on Wind Surf.
Norwegian Cruise Line, the "you're-free-to-whatever cruiseline - has up to £100 off Valentine Day cruises (seven night in the Caribbean from £799 with flights can't be bad) and a special Valentine Day dinner in the French Le Bistro. They will even be serving romantic cocktails throughout the ship decorated with heart-shaped ice sculptures.
I bet the crew will LOVE doing that.
