Is there a better place to book?

[campolady]

Just about to book a Dream cruise for next October via the Thomson website.

 

Can anyone suggest a better place to book?

 

Thanks.

Try Cruisedeals website, part of Thomson but i have found them to have better prices (booked my last two through them) :)

Although Cruise Deals is owned by Thomson by ringing them you just normally get through to any Thomson shop or the main call centre. If you get through to a shop they can discount up to a point to get your booking but they may not offer, you will have to ask.

 

Better still price it up on the Thomson site on line. Make a note of exactly what you have priced, date, cabin type any extras added, luggage, All inc etc etc then when you have a total ring round quoting the same details so everyone quotes like for like.

 

Any co-op travel will often give a better deal as you get your divvy points usually worth over £50 on top of any disc given.

Most high street and net TA's can match the online price at least, some may give an even better deal.:)

Thanks for the replies.

 

Thomsons website was still the cheapest so we have just booked our second trip on the ´Dream´ (last sailed on her in May)!

 

A long time to wait but something really to look forward to.

http://www.cruise1st.co.uk have done the trick for us.

 

Flights + AI week in Sharm + AI week on Celebration for £699. The drinks package was thrown in.

 

All we haven't got is transfers. I booked the airport to hotel transfer on Travel Republic. Private transfer for £7.10. I'll work out how to get to the cruise port while we're at the hotel, gitto for the transfer back to the airport.

 

Setting off in 2 hours to LGW for an overnight stay, before catching the EasyJet flight to Sharm at 0905 tomorrow morning.

 

Btw, check-in on-line with EJ and you get your seats allocated, either £3 to choose, or free random seats. We went for the free allocation, and still got two together on Row 20. The earlier you check-in the better.
