Haggling cruise prices

[Deleted User]

I want to go on a cruise for a week in March and i've been doing ok with knocking the prices down.. i just don't know how far I can push the prices.

Its a fly-cruise on the Thompson Destiny .. they (Thompsons) originally quoted me about 1230 GPB for the two of us.. however, i had previously phoned around and got that price down to 602 each... told them this and after a few minutes of silence they came back with 579 each.. a good price drop. I just wonder how far they will go.

So, anyone in the business, how far can I push it? Think I can get it to 550? My original goal was to push for 500, but i think that's unrealistic

I've always wondered what level of discount they can do over the phone - how low can it go?

At the moment you have only got just over 5% off ... I have never booked a package holiday without at least 10% off so keep going ...

If they can't offer you anything more moneywishe, then push for free insurance and/ or a room upgrade? x

have you tried the web site? also try www.latedelas.co.uk

I would even say if you can be flexable leave it till the last minute
If you could go tomorrow or the 12th Jan you would get it for £369 each

Hmm.. very interesting.. i think i should hold out for 10% since I can get the exact same 'deal' from latedeals: http://google.cruisedeals.co.uk/deals/details.jsp?dealId=67987
