    Might be worth having a look at the Thomson site

    example: 14th April - 7 nights - Thomson Spirit - Pharaohs and Promised land B (flights to/from to Limassol)
    15th April - 7 nights - Thomson Celebration - Red Sea Magic (flights to from Sharm)

    not been on a Thomson cruise so might be worth checking reviews and kids activities. (both come in under £2k total even with upgrading to cabin to an outside on a higher deck)

    I desperately wanted to go on this! It comes up at a great price even before I get my haggle hat on :p but sadly hubby can't get time off :(

    I went on a cruise last year and loved it - such a great way to holiday!

    if you go for the Thomson cruise DO NOT pay their website price!
    Call Thomas cook cruise and they will knock money off. Then call thomson and give them that quote to beat :D

    Thank you egyptian girl, I thought the online price was good but Thomas Cook knocked some off then the lovely lady at Thomson knocked a little bit more off. 4 people on the Island Escape (Tenerife) in April for less than £2000 including parking, bargain :T.

    I am keen to cruise with Thompson in May 10, but I am a little confused by your advice. I understand that the Thompson phone operators will offer a lower price than online. But I can't see why Thompson will beat their own quote:think:. Please explain as I am keen to grab a bargain. What sort of discount can I expect?

    Thanks:)

    I got a quote online from Thomson, phoned my local Thomson shop and they said they could match it then I saw egyptiangirls advice so I called Thomas Cook (who offer Thomson Cruises) and told them I was looking to see if they could do it cheaper. They knocked some off so I took the quote reference in case I needed to go back and accept that quote but then I called the lady at Thomson back and she knocked a little bit more off so I went with her. Hope this helps x
