Rebel Rouser Posted December 27, 2012 Author #178 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Been following the price difference for the Alleged sailing of the Island Escape next July 2013 for 2 weeks same dates flights (airport) etc ...what a difference in prices. 08/12/12 = £3068 10/1212 = £3122 12/12/12/ = £2942 19/12/12 = £3220 When I booked now unbooked 2 months back it was a lot less than that :confused: :eek: Today it's down to £2782 only deck 3 or 4 left :eek: Still not under cut my price yet :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenny wren Posted December 27, 2012 #179 Share Posted December 27, 2012 It's got a long way to go before we'll think about booking it!!! We booked about 8 weeks before this year and paid 1600 for the two of us for two weeks outside Deck 6...BUT of course this year its All Inclusive so that'll be a bit extra. I have noticed the Thomson website is playing up and its not putting the correct supplement when you choose a better cabin...I gave up yesterday! :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevio Posted December 28, 2012 #180 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Today it's down to £2782 only deck 3 or 4 left :eek: Still not under cut my price yet :p See what you mean about price cuts RR... My Thomson Dream cruise on 26th April dropped £45 per person, but the Island Escape alternative on the 23rd has seen its headline price of £770 for inside 5/6 go down to £638 pp in one go. Had I booked a one week cruise for two at the old price one day & seen it go down by £264 by the next I would have been a little peeved. I know it's off season in April, but if you take off air fares, transfers & the All Inclusive, they must be getting close to a free cruise... The bit I don't get is so far there has been no advertising of any special sales, what's the point of bargain cruises if you don't tell anyone? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Rouser Posted December 28, 2012 Author #181 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I have too have noticed that the IE hasn't been advertised in the Saturday / Sunday papers like last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Rouser Posted December 31, 2012 Author #182 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Well as it's the last day of the year.

CruisePlannerkjb Posted January 1, 2013 #186 Share Posted January 1, 2013 For those of you who sail often on the Island Escape, we loved her when she was the Viking Serenade sailing out of Los Angeles. We sailed on 51 voyages and she was our weekend getaway and she is truly missed. We would love to see what Island Cruises has done to change her but we have been told there are not any Americans onboard and that everything is catered to Europeans. Can you please tell me if you think Americans would feel out of place or would we enjoy the experience. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Rouser Posted January 1, 2013 Author #187 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Hi Cruise Planner I don't think you would be out of place at all, over the past few years I have seen some yanks as well as loads of Canucks. Happy new year to you my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Rouser Posted January 3, 2013 Author #188 Share Posted January 3, 2013 £2758 today for 2 weeks "waves" to every one :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenny wren Posted January 3, 2013 #189 Share Posted January 3, 2013 1379 each then?? is that for outside....sitting together on plane and choosing cabin...oh and local airport...or is that just basic fare for inside?? I could go and work it out but can't be bothered!!!!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Rouser Posted January 3, 2013 Author #190 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Ohhh as you asked :D Flying from Norwich (local) sitting with the Pilots :p and a basic fare for inside. As we had an inside cabin in October we much preferred it to an outside as it was much quieter...just to save you the hassle ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenny wren Posted January 4, 2013 #191 Share Posted January 4, 2013 First two weeks in July 2468 from Exeter basic inside cabin today ....so looks like its coming down a bit....interesting what you say about inside cabin....we've only had one once and weren't really bothered that much so wouldn't mind doing that again for a shortish cruise. Several people we've met who have done world cruises have done them in an inside cabin ...more money to spend on other things then !:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grez Posted January 5, 2013 #197 Share Posted January 5, 2013 RR - someone's asking a question on the Thomson Cruise Facebook site about the Island Escape AI - are you able to pop over & answer please? :confused: ;) I'm not sure anyone can really answer that until she starts sailing this year, I would expect there to have been some changes over the winter.

Rebel Rouser Posted January 6, 2013 Author #198 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Have answered the best I can, as it's the 1st year of "true" AI only time will tell if it's any good and the drinks have been watered down?
