Hi
We are considering our first cruise and wondered if anyone can help us with a quote please? We have had the below for the Land of the Vikings Cruise departing on 11 June 2012- the price we have been quoted includes parking and insurance

Who the quote is from: Thomson (in a branch)
Is there a booking fee: No
The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Thomson
The departure Airport/Post: Newcastle Port
The Holiday Dates: 11 June 2012 to 18 June 2012
The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 adults

Is an in-flight meal included: N/A
Please let me know if you need any more information. Thanks in advance!0 -
I'm not a travel agent but enjoy a cruise. You're cheaper going direct to Thomson website - for same cruise with same cabin on website you are looking at £1304. If you go for deck 1 or 2 inside cabin it is £1234. If you fancy a window/port hole deck 1 & 2 is £1332 and deck 3 or 4 is £1430. Keep an eye on website cause prices do go up and down slightly.
Some thomson cruises offer drinks package for £49 - excellent value.
Hope this helps.0 -

Hi,
I have had several quotes for this trip of around £1800 per person. We would really like to get it closer to £1500.

Travel first two weeks of October 2012.
3 Nights in Las Vegas staying on the main strip on one of the nice hotels
10 Nights in Hawaii (two islands, 5 nights each).
2 nights in San Fransico (this can be a cheap hostel/B&B).
(in any order).
Thank you
Tasha
