If you can, please give it a quick like - and maybe a share too! 👍❤️🥰 We all love a bargain, and you’ll often see websites shouting about their “best price guarantee” - but you have to ask, what’s the catch? We know we’re not always the cheapest, but when you book with us, you get more than just a price. You get a small, caring team at the end of the phone, ready to help - whether you’re just looking to book or need support afterwards. Our dedicated Care Team is here if any issues arise. We’re not part of a large, faceless website chasing every booking. By booking with us, you’re supporting two small businesses! We’re proud to work with Travel Village, a fourth-generation, independently run family business based in Blackpool. Alongside their expert team, we’re also here to help - with around 50 cruises under our belts in the past 10 years, we know not every cruise suits everyone. That’s why it’s so important to pick the right one - and that’s where our experience comes in. It’s not just about price! Without your support, we wouldn’t be able to share our cruise adventures with you. Thank you for being here! 🥰 Next time you are looking to book a cruise, contact Cruise Monkeys team: ☎️ 0330 880 5555 📧 travel@cruisemonkeys.com 🌍 Or fill out the form on our website
