Thanks for the reply. I don't know what I am doing (obviously!) but I get an online quote for £1476:
2 × Ex-UK Cruise £ 1,518.00 Fuel Supplement £ 0.00 1 × Deck 3/4 outside cabin £ 196.00 1 × Newcastle port parking £ 56.00 Worldcare Fund £ 2.00 Sub-Total £ 1,772.00 Online Savings: - £296.00 Total : £1,476.00 Thank you!
Hello,
You can take it down nearly £200 by taking an inside cabin on deck 1&2. I've not been on that boat but have been on another Thomson one and have had both inside and outside cabins. It was nice having a window but not really worth an extra £200, esp for port hole. If you want to change the cabin grade just select the one you want and the price should up date. Also £200 is a fair bit towards trips and drinks money.
To get the price to £1278 I've been selecting the cruise priced at £612, selecting the cheapest cabin, adding the parking and removing the travel care donation. Also, if you do go for the cruise Thomson will call you and try to get you to buy extras like pre booking your cabin - not worth it as they are all much the same.
Anyway I'm just sticking my nose is as I like a cruise! All the best.0 -
