    You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time but you can never please all of the people all of the time

    yes it is £900pp

    Can I ask who that is with and for which hotel?

    I am a little out of touch but on the face of it that does seem a lot for 10 nights during that season but if you are saying that that is £50 off of the current online price (?) then I suppose the price is due to it being half term (a time that I have never priced up)

    Are you completely restricted to those particular dates?

    I'm hoping you mean AI, Virgin's online brochure certainly describes it as so; most if not all accomodation outside of Havana is AI simply because there are very few (virtually none) other places to eat.

    I know the holiday place have some good deals and they offer the same hotel they usually do deals for 3 nights Havana and 10 nights all inclusive in various hotels. Usually they have them for around £799 not sure if they are that price for the time you want.

    You have to ask yourself is it worth risking for a honeymoon what only theoretically speaking happens once in your life, the money you may save can be earned again fairly quickly where as your memories last forever. dont half do love hehe
