Cause Martin says ... :money:

Taken from Page 1, Post number 1:

What’s this about?

This is a special thread where you can ask all the Travel Agents and MoneySavers who frequent this board to beat a holiday quote you have and get personalised replies.

The idea is to see if someone can beat a quote for a specific holiday; not just a general price. So you need an exact quote. E.g.

"I've been quoted £507 per person, all-in for 2 people to Hotel Martino, half-board in the Dominican Republic leaving Gatwick on 3rd of the month returning on the 17th with Tour Operator Airtours.

Can anyone beat it?"

If you haven’t got a quote, then first go to the Package Holidays: Undercut the cheapest prices and Cheap Flight and Hotel Finding article.

Because thats the rules of the board and if you dont like it take it up with Martin or come back with a quote as set out on page 1 of this thread.

Go back to them and double check this. I know Caribbean Warehouse package their own flights and accomodation together but this stil works out extremely cheap for this date. The flights on their own are £850pp on this date with Thomson and they are the only company with flights that day.
For the package Thomson are more than the price you've been quoted per person let alone for 2!

If its correct and still available snap their hand off!

Quote from Thomas Cook website for cruise on Cunard Queen Victoria 15 August 2010 ("Jewels of the Mediterranean II") for 12 nights, for 2 adults and 1 child. Cabin is A4 Cabin with Balcony.

Total cost is £3,972.92. This includes discount for being previous Cunard passengers, plus children are free on this cruise. The Thomas Cook offer also includes onboard credit of 300 (dollars or pounds - not sure which?).

The "official" Cunard offer is £4,058, but without any onboard spend. The Thomas Cook price is the best I've found so far, and I've looked around quite a bit, so I'd be very impressed if anyone could beat it!
