Is that not a typo £3393 for five day taster med cruise?

**Ally** · 02-16-2007, 10:05 AM

It was tiny numbers for the descriptions under each offer, so I just removed them

**middy** · 02-16-2007, 10:07 AM

Prices look better now, never done Island but thought that was a little over the top

The Brazil transatlantic looks interesting...not bad at 899 start.
