rookery Posted July 31, 2016 #1 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Anyone else on this cruise. Seriously thinking about it but find the itinerary on Thomson website differs from that on Cruise Deals website for the same cruise. Thomson's say Day 10 transit Suez Canal, Day 11 at Sea, Days 12 & 13 in Jordan. Cruise Deals says Day 9 transit Suez Canal, Day 10 Port Sokhna, Day 11 & 12 Hurghada, Day 13 Sharm El Sheikh. They cant both be right, can they? I rang Cruise Deals and they were clueless. Out of curiosity, I rang Thomas Cook to see what they had to offer for this cruise and not surprisingly got the same office as Cruise Deals so I didnt even bother asking the question. And I was going to book it today too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanCruise Posted July 31, 2016 #4 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Some months ago Thomson changed cruises to Sharm El Sheikh and Egypt to go to Jordan. I am booked on the following one on to Dubai. UK Flights are still not going to Sharm El Sheikh so you can't go to there. Doesn't say much for Cruise Deals! It seems you can't book these on Thomsons web site, go in to a Thomson shop.

A lot of the other sites load the cruises in when they're announced, and aren't updated if there's been a change, so 99% of the time the Thomson site is the most accurate.
