From what I can remember, they can't offer all inclusive on UK departures. Something to do with our licensing laws I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea why though. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davecttr Posted July 14, 2011 #4 Share Posted July 14, 2011 They don't offer AI deals on sailings from the UK but you will probably find that the prices may be lower than the equivalent length cruise if you fly. Ex UK they don't have the air travel expense. It might be due to UK laws but my pet theory is, as there are many 7 night cruises, any AI offer would just encourage the booze cruise crowd which is NOT Thomsons style, whatever anyone tells you. It is rare to see anyone really drunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they should make an exception just for us on our 13 night North Cape cruise don't you Dave:) Never cruised before without the AI should be interesting:eek: Mary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fern Posted July 14, 2011 #7 Share Posted July 14, 2011 We went on Celebration from Newcastle to Baltic & there was no AI. However we took some on board with us. The prices were quite high on board so this kept the bill down a little!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happy v Posted July 14, 2011 #10 Share Posted July 14, 2011 When we went from Newcastle we took boxes of wine. As there are no luggage restictions it saves a fortune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
