Beat My Quote! Travel Agents Thread

• The Quote itself: 

  'Australasian Seafarer' Cruise on 14 Nov 24 - 22 Dec 24. It's Oceania Cruises on Regatta

  Outside Cabin £9239pp. Then jumps up to Veranda cabin with concierge at £12489. Flights included
• Who the quote is from: Lots of site offering the same price, e.g. Imagine Cruises, Love it book it and Oceania themselves
• Is there a booking fee: Don't think so
• The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel:  Oceania Cruises on ship called Regatta
• The departure Airport/Post:  Quotes seem to be LHR but we could do BHX or MAN at a push
  
• The Holiday Dates:  Dates above but seem to include a hotel night, to save and problems with delayed flights I guess. We're okay with a night or two before if price is reasonable
• The number of people travelling (inc kids ages):  2 Adults
• The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival):  N/A
• The Board (self catering/half board etc):  Included on cruises
• Any specific requirements:  Not keen on an inside cabin but outside or balcony preferred; flexible a day or two on travel dates if it makes flights cheaper. Same with airports - as mentioned above
• Is an in-flight meal included: Not bothered

Looks like availability is low and so we have no problem with a guarantee cabin.

Many thanks

Thanks anyway MATTR5. I think I may have booked with you before - long time ago. 2017 - 6 of us, to Hurghada. If that was you, very pleased. I'd recommend you.

Ah great and thanks.  It’s hard to remember from just your MSE name lol.  Keep my details for next time.   Make sure when you book this cruise you check readers offers limited.  Iglu. And cruise.co.uk. They tend to have the best prices .

Just a polite reminder to people who post a price to beat here to check back a few hours or day later for our response

Ive beaten the last 2 prices above and not had a reply - I'm here 7 days a week usually and try and respond as quickly as possible but may be busy/out and about

It could be that people prefer to book direct for a small saving, however it would be courteous to acknowledge the quote and thank you for the effort.
I've used you several times now and always been happy with the service.
