Hi,
My husband, son and I are booked on a med cruise for 7/8. I toyed with the idea of the TA, but after looking at the headline costs on the DU website dismissed it as being far too expensive for a second holiday!
However, after meeting up with DizzneyDAnn whilst she was passing through Heathrow a couple of weeks ago i thought i would check out the costs just in case! I contacted DU and was astounded that the cost of the two week TA was over 50% cheaper than the 11 night med cruise! What could I do, it seemed such a good offer, it would be ridiculous to turn it down! We were initially quoted on a Cat 6 but we could not chose the stateroom, but for an extra $400 we upgraded to a cat 4 which we could chose. So we are booked, just four weeks between the two cruises! I did toy with canceling the med cruise, it does now seem amazingly over priced, but as our son is not coming on the TA felt it was a bit mean to tell him we are not going. I intend to keep an eye on the costs of the med cruise in case they come down with the lack of interest.
So there we go, we are booked and i am soooo looking forward to all those sea days and spending time with DizzneyDAnn and her family.
We did the last WB TA and the weather was amazing, the Atlantic was like a mill pond without a trace of a wave for several days in a row - here's hoping to a repeat.
