    No we only get holiday brochures. And at least one envelope a week. They send to my OH as she has holidayed with them. Do not wish to unsubscribe as we are interested in their holidays.

    I was just putting forward a suggestion in reply to a poster who thought they were expensive.

    Holiday does seem reasonable for the price.

    We have been on a Saga cruise to see the Northern Lights in Norway ( yes, we did see them!) and loved every minute of it. Yes, it's maybe dearer than other companies, but they collect you from your house to take you to Southampton or wherever, and it included stuff that others don't, including providing a padded arctic jacket which was yours to keep. We are considering sailing with them again although we go with other companies as well. However, we do get a lot of cruise brochures from them now, which is a bit of overkill in my opinion. We recognise the envelopes now and usually put them straight into recycling!

    Went on the above 3 centre AI holiday in April this year.....our first Saga holiday, and it was fabulous.

    Exactly the same holiday is advertised on page 66 of today's DM. Same time next year, same price.

    Bargain.

    Early, mid or late April?

    What was the weather like?
  • It sounds excellent value to me.

    5-19 April.

    We had a bit of rain, but much more sun.....pay your money and take your chance anywhere in the Mediterranean or Adriatic at that time of year.

    Cold, it definitely wasn't.

    Apart from the mountains of fan mail I get from them, my only direct experience of Saga is them refusing me motor insurance cover because my wife is/was "too young"

    The vicar seemed happy enough at our wedding ceremony.

    Sounds great Pete, but I never had you down as a Saga man as I know you love your DIY. I've seriously been considering doing something like that as Mr Duke dreads the long haul, although I'm still ready & raring to go.

    Had a month DIY all of February in Thailand and Vietnam, and got a couple of weeks of it in Bosnia & Herzegovina at the end of September to look forward to.

    The Saga holiday looked too good to miss, and we weren't disappointed. Got another one booked in November, 3 weeks AI at The Kaktus Hotel in Albir [Costa Blanca].

    Our children are paying for it all.....SKI:)

    We are going on this trip with Saga in September the flights have been changed and we now land in Frankfurt have 1hour to get the next flight to split, it's a 2hour stop in Frankfurt on the way back
    This is the first time with Saga and can't say I am pleased with the flights but we are looking forward to Croatia.
