  • Hi Matt,

    Just to say I've booked the holiday you recommended. You saved me a tidy £250!!!

    I'll definitely give you a heads up first when I book another holiday later in the year. Hopefully you can save me even more.

    Thanks, boltonsam

    Hi Cabbage

    Ive rung Mystic Meg and she has told me the price you have had ;)

    Seriously run this by a cruise specialist (there are loads in the back pages of the Sunday papers) - if anyone can beat it they can
