Many people have used Vacationstogo and bestpricecruises off Holiday truths and say how good they were
You do have to select your cruise company carefully if using an american agent as some dont accept bookings for UK. NCL,RCCL and Celebrity are still allowing people from the UK to book but a few people have had problems booking with some other lines like Princess or Cunard
If yo use cruisecompete make sure you put in that your from the UK

Has anyone ever had an experience with this company? They are offering a too-good-to-be-true price for a 2 week cruise which I am tempted by, but the integrity of the company is also important to me!

Please PM me or post reply.

Thank you!

I would call thomas cook and see what price they come back with for it

They usually can match anything if your unsure about this travel agent

Thanks

Whats the deal?

cruisedeals.co.uk are actually part of Thomson (TUI europe ).

with most web sites follow the about us/contact and check the ABTA,ATOL or other bonding numbers to find out who they are.

with most cruise bookings you are ok once the booking is showing on the cruise lines site, just need to make sure the payments are made as close to final as possible and do at least some(deposit) on a Credit Card.

Thanks getmore4less.

The deals is a 2 week med fly-cruise during school holidays for £1359. The next lowest quote I received was £1415 from Thomas Cook.

I have checked the ABTA number & they have a physical address - not really sure what else I am looking for? I am aware they are part of TUI as well. They agent I spoke too wasn't able to give me his ATOl number which is understandable in working for a large company I suppose?
They have been around for 5 years as specialist cruise agents.

They ask for 10-11% deposit & the rest is due in 10 weeks.

They said they buy their cruise packages in bulk & that is why they can offer such a good price.

Other agents I have spoken to are all surprised to hear the low price they are offering me, but maybe they are just trying to win my business? It's a jungle out there!!!

I am going to have one last conversation with OH about it & make a decision I think.

Any other comments?!!

Thanks all!
