I am a teacher and so am restricted to certain dates for my holidays. I went on the River Douro Cruise last year and am going to canada and Alaska this year - paying a huge supplement to go in July but I have no choice. I sat down this week to browse the new brochure and plan next years holiday - I know it is a long time ago but I like to dream!!
I was really disappointed to see that there are even fewer holidays in the school holidays (end july to beginning of September) in the new brochure than in previous ones. I think there are only 4 dates when I could go and none of those holidays appeal to me as I like to go to more exotic or unusual places. I was hoping to go to China on the Yanghtz cruise but it is no longer available in July.
Why is this? You are missing a market by not catering for people who want to go away in August, it is getting harder eacg year to find a holiday destination for me.
