    Who the quote is from: Virgin
    Is there a booking fee: Don't know

    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Virgin / Virgin/ Hilton Ras al Khaimah Resort & Spa (3 nights A.I)
    The departure Airport/Post: Heathrow, but would prefer Manachester

    We would be happy to stay in another hotel on a non AI basis. So effectively we wish to add a 3 day stay in Dubia onto the cruise. A real bonus would be a Manchester flight.

    Slightly OT, but are you aware that this hotel is not in Dubai? Ras al Khaimah is a separate emirate of the United Arab Emirates.
