    Can anyone beat a quote for Thomsons Destiny 2012 Xmas sailing either on the 21st Dec and 28th Dec for 2 people for 7 days flying from East Midlands Airport.
    Best quote at the moment £2150
    • The Quote itself: £1616 (£808pp)
    • Who the quote is from: Holidaygenie
    • Is there a booking fee: dont know
    • The Airline: Virgin (but would consider any other direct flights)
    • The departure Airport: Glasgow (or any Scotland)
    • The Holiday Dates: 15th or 16th Sept (14 nights)
    • The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 adults
    • The Hotel: Rosen Inn International Drive (but would consider any Quality Inn, Hampton Inn or similar)
    • The Board (self catering/half board etc): Room Only (or B&B)
    • Any specific requirements: No
    • Is an in-flight meal included: Unsure


    The challenge is on for me to find the best deal possible for our Orlando holiday. Directholidays had one on their website for 2 weeks to the Econolodge on the dates we wanted for £620pp but when I tried to book it this morning, it came up with a site error and when I called them, I was told this had been temporarily withdrawn due to 'contract problems'.

    If anyone can come back to me with a package around the £700-£800pp price range, I'd definitely be interested.

    • The departure Airport/Post: Gatwick
    • The Holiday Dates: 22nd May - 5th June (can travel any May/Jun/Jul if cheaper)
    • The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 adults & 1 x 4yr old

    • The Board (self catering/half board etc): Room only
