Have to look at the price of that one. It is my birthday on 18th June and my OH on 20th June, so it would be lovely.

Sue,
Just noticed the free AI on that date is now no longer available..phew...Geezo,thats 11months in advance.Theres either a helluva lot booked up or theres not that many packages available..I`ll go with the latter
Its available the week after
BTW Sue...I got my price/deal through my local TA(independant) and he beat Thomson/Thomas Cook etc by some way

Hi Jim - was it a better price than Cruisedeals too? I did a check with several on-line companies (by phone) yesterday and they weren't as good as cruisedeals - the independents round here don't seem too competitive - mostly it's the multiples on the high street. :(
Pleased you got a good deal though and AI ;) We have booked for a similar time next year on Celebration - also got AI - now £75 more and no AI!! :eek: Of course at the last minute it could be a fair bit cheaper - but you always run the risk that it's not!! Good to have one to look forward to!

Hi kruzseeka,
Yes it was better than cruisedeals.Called them this morning and got their best price.My local TA beat them only by £42... but £42 pounds is £42 pounds :DIn fact Thomas Cook gave me a better price than cruisedeals.
Was looking at the price of AI(£338)for next year if your paying for it and I`m sure it was dearer this year
It certainly is good to have one to look forward to....Countdown is on :D

Well done Jim :D
This will be the 1st year in eons that we havnt booked a year in advance, as Im taking all the family next year x 8 1/2 thought I would hold back to see what bargains I can get nearer the time. Looking around about that date.. so you never know? you still might buy me that drink yet :p

Aye RR..I`ve always/usually been an early bird by booking well in advance,sometimes its mostly benefited but other times not.I book early so as to get the deck and cabin I want and any other freebies :D
