    quote £2982.82

    for 2 passengers
    14 nights
    going out 7th February 2016
    ship:
    Cruise: Thomson Dream Pride of Panama/Cuban Fusion
    Outside cabin option.


    Would like the drinks option included but it is £795 extra which feels too much.

    If anyone can improve on this i would be grateful.

    We are joining an existing party of 6 passengers so it has to be this cruise. The others booked a while ago and paid £1600 each incl drinks package.

    Hi Spirit

    Therees not a huge amount I can do as its a Thomson Exclusive

    I can get £50 off the total so £2932

    I can also get a further £50 off the drinks package so thats an extra £745

    Thomsons do sometimes do deals on the drinks packages but it tends to be early bookings so not sure if its worth hanging on in case they do again ???

    • The Quote itself: £3320
    • Who the quote is from: Thomson (online)
    • Is there a booking fee: No
    • The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Thomson
    • The departure Airport/Post: BHX - MBJ (Jamaica)
    • The Holiday Dates: 15/11/2017 for two weeks
    • The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 adults
    • The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Luxury Bahia Principe Runaway Bay
    • The Board (self catering/half board etc): AI
    • Any specific requirements: Very flexible. Anytime in November really.
    • Is an in-flight meal included: Yes



    As it's Thomson we will have to pay to be seated together :mad: so if anyone can get a similar price with allocated seating it would be a bonus! I should add that 20kg's of luggage is included in the price as is a coach transfer.

    Regards,

    Baloo

    Hi Baloo

    OK we can do this like for like (the only date cheaper in Nov is the 29th and you can take £20 per person off these prices if you go that date but all the below assumes sticking with original date)

    So - still with Thomsons, same flights, reps, transfers, hotel/room - ABTA/ATOL protection - no booking fees on debit cards

    I will give you the pre-booked seats for FREE and beat you price by £10 so £3310 inc pre-booked seats

    or

    I will upgrade you both the Extra Legroom seats both ways and pre-book your seats for a total additional £40 so £3350 inc all that

    nb As i make these offers and dont hear back for days sometimes Im adding this - this offer is only valid today and tomorrow - after that add £10 per person
