    Hi areid07

    I can't beat this price as I dont sell Cruise except Marella or River Cruises
    I'll send you a couple of websites to try in my message 
    I hope you get a great price 

    As a general guide I can beat TUI, Jet2holidays, Easyjet Holidays, Kuoni,  and many other Tour Ops direct prices
    I can beat River Cruise prices but not Ocean Cruises 
    I can't beat flight only or anything involving Ryanair - Hope that helps 
    ps Im off for Xmas from 25/12 to 29/12 inclusive

    Hi

    I can get you £150 off this price - all booked with Jet2holidays so like-for-like - I  can also upgrade you free to the Park family room from the Deluxe Club Room they are including but I don't think either room is 2 bedroom
