  • Hi

    We are struggling to get quotes of any kind for a cruise of 7 - 9 nights in mid may 2010. 2 adults, outside birth NO flying.

    Best Quote so far: £500
    Who the quote is from: teletext
    Is there a booking fee: yes 2.5% cc
    The Airline/Hotel: unknown (teletext quote)
    The departure Airport/Post: Southampton
    The Holiday Dates: 15th May
    The number of people travelling: 2 Adults
    The Hotel : n/a
    The Board : good question - not sure, never been on a cruise before
    Any specific requirements: no flying - wife will be 7 months pregnant

    Thanks in advance for any quotes
  • Sorry, nothing to do with the actual quote but have you looked into travel insurance for this trip? I may well be wrong but I think most insurance policies only cover up to about 26 weeks in pregnancy (I know ours does) and it could prove very costly if your wife suffered any complications whilst on the cruise and had to be transported to hospital. Might be worth looking into this before you book anything.
