    Is it not a A330 as on a website it says the A320 is 3 x 3 with a capacity for 180 whereas the A330 is a 3 x 3 x 3 with a capacity of about 340ish.
    On thomsonfly it was a boeing 767-300 (me thinks) it was definitely a 2 x 4 x 2 formation and held over 250 passengers.

    Hi

    We're also flying to Jamaica to join Sea Princess at the end of February.

    As we are taking an internal flight to get to Gatwick and have to arrive the night before we decided to get a hotel as close Gatwick as possible so we're not having to use the transport buses etc.

    I looked at the Sofitel website and noticed they have a price guarantee if you find the same room on another site and it's cheaper they match the price plus give a 10% discount. You have to book the Sofitel first and within 24 hours of booking email them to a link to where you found a cheaper price and they email you back with the new rate.

    On the website it says to book online but it's the same deal if you ring and book over the phone. I explained I'd found a cheaper deal and she gave me an email address to send the link to.

    Superbreaks had it much cheaper and true to their word we've got the same room at a £30 discount!!

    See you all there!!!
    Yes, the price requoted by Sofitel was 10% less than Superbreak!

    How lovely Jan ...your 40th !! let them know ...as when we were on the Grand , and i filled in on the net that it would be partners b,day ...they never mentioned...so i went to the pursers office and then they did the balloons and singing etc ...he squirmed ...i recorded with my phone ...as you do .lol..i treated him to a an italian meal ...first time for us both ...we are addicted now ...was superb!!
    We certainly will let you know if we come across anything romantic ...but weve been before ...and our all time favoirite is Aruba!! pure paradise ....i have it on video here , must try and see if i can work out how to send it to you . the tender took us over to a "private pure white beach" turquose really warm crystal clear sea...luxurious deck chairs under palm trees ... gentle music was being played in the background on the drums ... and drinks as and when we wanted , and the most sumpuous lunch was laid out .... first time in years i got a lovely tan .... oh yes , we remember aruba !! and in 30 deg heat , pure blue skies ....never , ever forget it ... as we were both bought up in a childrens home , and had very hard childhoods...and lwe kept pinching ourselves that it was us !! but my children are grown up , and Dave is still building , so we deserve it ..
    you enjoy your 40th ...whever it is ....
    hugs

    We flew with T C in March to join the Sea Princess in Mo Bay. We found the flight to be fine with good leg room and complimentary food and drinks. The cruise itself was excellent.

    Hi we are flying out on the 5th December and my husband has upgraded our seats. We have travelled with them before and have found them fine. Food same as anywhere else. Staff were attentive but I think it always depends on who are the cabin crew as to the serivce you receive.
    When we celebrated our 25th in Montego Bay I arranged a taxi from the UK. I think we paid 150 for the whole day, but we did travel a fair way. We went to the Y river falls, Black river and then onto Pelican Bar a bar a mile out at sea on a coral reef and they will catch and cook fish for you) There were no tourists about and our driver was superb. If you want details let me know and I will attempt to find them for you. Also if you are giong to Ochios Rios, after Dunns River falls go to REGGAE BEACH $5 entrance fee per person but wonderfully deserted and again you can get jerk chicken or they will catch a fish and cook it for you. Very basic but that was the beauty of it.
