    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.

  • Hi,

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

    3 People
    Flying from any London airport
    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

    I’m back and more determined than ever!!!!!
