    Hi Powysshrew

    I can't beat that price- Virgin Hols have a 10% off weekend sale on and that knocks me out

    Hi,

    We have found a holiday on Jet2Holidays for £1340 for:

    September 30th - October 7th
    East Midlands to Costa Brava for 2 adults and 2 children (9 and 2)
    All Inclusive, 22kg bag allowance each and transfers to the Costa Encantada Aparthotel in Lloret De Mar.

    I've also found it separately for around £1200 through booking.com and jet2 flights and a hire car
    Would love it if we could save some money on this price :beer:

    I'm not sure if this is possible, but I am looking for a specific cruise.
    Royal Carribean Independence of the Seas
    10th August Mediterranean Cruise for 12 nights
    no flights
    I am looking for 2 adults and 2 children (13 and 15)
    I don't think they have any family cabins left,so I am looking for adjoining cabins with balcony.
    Planet Cruise have a junior suite that can accommodate 4 people for £2462 per person. I can't find any other info. Ideally don't really need a suite just need the cabins with balcony. Do not want internal cabins at all!
    Hope this is allowed. Thanks.
  • It's quite cheap! Thank you for this information!:)
