I have a 'ring' around Sat Nov 12th as the date most likely for you guys to be flying out for the week.

Prices are holding here around the £900 mark for two weeks at the PCV for this period. Not low enough yet to tempt me into booking.

I'm holding off for the moment. Just wonder who will be FIRST to take the plunge?

Had to nip out to the shops, so thought I would call in to my local Thomas Cook to get an update on their price for the Nov 10th departure to the PCV.

Happened to catch the Manageress so I thought I might get some sort of reasonable price from her.

Written quote in front of me £1027.

Online price from their website as soon as I returned home £921 (down from £931 when I checked a couple of days ago).

A whopping £106 difference. Why do I even bother wasting my time trying to give these people a chance?

Incidentally Eclipse have eased back their First Choice Manchester departure price for Nov 4th to £851 - that is down from £880 - but still above the £826 is was a month or so back.

However prices are moving in the right direction at the moment. The single supplement for the PCV is just £182 for the two weeks, so I think that is quite reasonable. Looks like First Choice is a better bet as not only is it a direct flight but the aircraft seating has been upgraded.

Hi F&T...I bet if we hold out till last minute we can get a Santa Maria deal! I'm perfectly content to wait and see what happens :)

FredTracie · « **Reply #80 on:** July 22, 2005, 06:54:00 PM »

Hi Sunluvr
Not sure if that price will happen, but it certainly won't be $852 plus tax?????

Hey guys...can you just confirm you're still looking at the Amigo?? I've heard several possibilities, I don't know which end is up!

Thanks!

I'm open to anything in that area, Club Amigo, PP, or PCV.

Prices should start to shift in a couple of weeks.

Well this awful wet weather over here has once again turned my attention to Cuba and to the Holguin area proposed gathering in November.

Thomas Cook's website now longer will give me a price for a single to the PCV for their November 10th departure (it will quote for two people still) which indicates to me that the resort is selling quite well. That option now appears closed.

I have spoken to several TA's on the phone today and none of them can match the Eclipse price of £851 for the Manchester Nov 4th departure for 2 weeks at the PCV. In fact two people have told me straight to go ahead and book it.

I can still book the Cubana 747 flight on Wednesday 9th November which gives me 10 nights at the PCV and then flying on to Havana on Sat 19th Nov for 3 nights at The Comodoro (bed and breakfast). That is currently priced at £899 (including the tourist card). I do therefore have options.

I'm really not sure which option to take. Any movement either way in the Eclipse price though would definitely settle it.

I take it there is no movement in Canadian prices yet, so no one over there is considering booking just yet?

Hi Bellagio
Nothing on this side of the pond has moved yet for the Nov. 12/13 departures. But that's normal as we will have selloffs and promo's as Sept./Oct. roll around. So don't worry about us as we will get there, it is your arrangements that you need to be concerned about! That 10 days in Holguin followed by 3 days in Havana sounds really interesting?

Cheers.......F&T

Either that or my suitcase option still stands.

With all the uncertainity I am showing with regard to this booking that may be the only option left open to me.

I'm going to hang on until next week as by then the holiday will have moved into the 'late deals' category as it will only be 12 weeks away and maybe, just maybe, the price may ease back somewhat. I doubt it very much though.

Well the good news is, Mom got all her passport stuff figured out today ... I'd so like to go away again ... still looking Costa Rica for October (5th anniversary) but November is doable I think, with Mom not DH though ... will have to wait for a last minute package though.

I can't believe it ! That would be 5 trips this year if all pans out !!!

Does that mean you will be joining us all in the Holguin/Guardalavacca area in Nov then?

Shine · « **Reply #89 on:** August 08, 2005, 01:57:00 PM »

That was the point :p
Would be Mom's first trek to Cuba (she used to Cruise every year) ... she's not going to Florida for the winter this year, and DH suggested I take her away before Christmas sometime.
