    It's £2956.88 booked Direct with TUI.

    A quick Google of the cruise bought up Iglu Cruise, who's website quotes £2846 for the same.

    I'm wondering why the OP can't identify such alternatives ?

    I wonder if they intended to post on the beat my quote thread but it ended up here instead?
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
