Rare Jim The Scot Posted February 3, 2010 Author #51 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Yes, I'll agree with that.I've just come from the TA now to pay the balance for 27th April and there's a poster in the window :- local flights, free A.I. and upgrade to outside cabin for £759. Berwyn Wheres local Berwyn? I've just come from the TA now to pay the balance for 27th April Ouch there's a poster in the window :- local flights, free A.I. and upgrade to outside cabin for £759. I was really meaning for cruisers already booked who never opted for the AI because of the price.Having never been on cruise where AI was available do cruise ship/Thomson etc give that option to upgrade to AI already paid up cruisers if the price drops?

Cymro1953 Posted February 3, 2010 #52 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Hi Jim, For us in North Wales local is Manchester airport, or sometimes if you can get the flights Liverpool. It was one of the 2 high street TA's that are owned by TUI and Thomson cruise line. I thought as it's them they would run it as a national ad campaign throughout the chains to try and fill the ship. I think that makes sense, it doesn't look quite right. Like you a big ouch after coming out of TA too. Ah well It's all paid for now. About paying to upgrade to A.I. I did see someone on here had done it after booking, I always thought you had to do it at time of booking. But I don't think they'll give us free A.I. if they re offer it after we've booked Berwyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I`ll be piggy sick if it becomes available from Scotland and at the time I`m going;)...Can`t find "I would be down in the dumps smiley" Like you a big ouch after coming out of TA too. Ah well It's all paid for now. True,the good thing about paying the balance is you know your cruise/holiday is getting ever closer About paying to upgrade to A.I. I did see someone on here had done it after booking, I always thought you had to do it at time of booking. But I don't think they'll give us free A.I. if they re offer it after we've booked My TA told me I could upgrade up to 2 weeks before my holiday/cruise. Wasn`t looking for it for free although it would be nice :D was just wondering if they are likely to drop the price of AI similar to IE..Theres is down to £98(£49pp)but don`t know if thats only available to new bookers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet there's something in the small print somewhere. it must be getting close as DW's starting to show interest. With her fear of flying she tries to ignore it right untill it's time to crowbar her into the plane. She's OK when we get on the ship.

Cymro1953 Posted February 3, 2010 #58 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Hi Mrs.c., it's just been raining here for past 3 days. No.2 son in Huddersfield rang last night and said it was bad there again with the snow. April can't come soon enough. Providing we get better weather than April 2008 that is.

biffybear Posted February 5, 2010 #68 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Hi We are going on the Dream on the 13th July, we are staying at the Grupotel Camp de Mar for a week before. Cant wait to read the reviews from the first cruisers. There are four of us and we have booked outside plus cabins on deck 6. The cabins look modern and spacious so should be good.
