Another thought on the "PLATINUM" debate

[Cymro1953]

Funnily enough Berwyn i have just added a post to the thread about the drinks and all inc , i had a offers leaflet today from Bolsover CC, Celebrity are giving away FREE ALL INCLUSIVE on thier cruises if you book before the end of Feb 13, its worth up to $1400 per cabin on a 2 week cruise.:):)

The cruise prices are good too, the Venice 12 night fly cruise is from £1104 on an inside cabin £1334 for a balcony !!! ( Is this the one you meant ??)

Im not sure if you get the free all inc on that one , it doesnt say although from the leaflet it seems to be on them all.

Last night i did say to my husband we could cancel the Dream, use the deposit towards a cheap week in spain and book a week or 10 days last minute on P&O and still have change and get two holidays. I have a voucher for £200 off a P&O booking they have recently given me as a gesture of goodwill so would seem a sensible thing to do really.

Think is i really want to go on the Dream and so far we have paid £80 in cabin fees!!!! But if they reduce it again i may vote with my feet too. Nothing to do with the Platinum thing as not really worried about that. I like Thomsons ships whatever, just simple economics really. Just dont want to change it then regret it :confused: :confused:

 

Yes that's the one, 12 days, Italy and Croatia cruise it's called on celebrity website. We've got to pay final balance for Dream anytime now so it's a bit late to change as both cruises similar price and we have the "free" A.I. because we booked so early

Hi Berwyn , yes we have free all inc too , we booked in April on the day prices were released and i doubt i will change as in all fairness we prefer the older ships and just like Thomsons. We've got the deck we want , all inc , ive booked our cabin and extra leg room seats, we fly from Doncaster and its only 40 mins away so all in all its all just perfect. :)

Just really really hope they dont take the micky and reduce it so much between now and Oct that they really hack me off lol ! :rolleyes:

Will use my £200 on P&O next year as cant afford two cruises in one year, such a shame !! :(

Lovely, sounds like a lovely itinerary. I've had extra legroom before and it's great for the arthritic joints. But I can manage the flight to the Med in normal seats.

Just been having a look on Celebrity. Found a 12 nights cruise from Barcelona doing western Med and Adriatic, including Kotor and Dubrovnik. Flights and a balcony cabin for £3200 for two for 12 nights.

 

A Thomson Dream 14 night cruise in May for a Standard Inside cabin comes out at £3000. I know you get two nights more with this one, but for the luxurious new ship with Celebrity with a balcony cabin, you wonder how Thomson will continue charging what they do.

as much as we love Thomson cruises we would move to a new cruise line with offers like this. Especially since DW loves the bigger ships.
