Where Do Cruise Consultants Go On Holiday?

With all of the exotic destinations that we sell on a day to day basis, you would probably expect that a Cruise Consultant may choose to go away somewhere far afield. Unfortunately you would be wrong. A small group of Cruise.co.uk staff travelled across to Sunny Minehead for 3 nights at Britain's equivalent of Disney. Somersets finest family establishment Butlins.


It was a family trip so we had kids and family's in tow, but was it good? I had never been to a Butlins before but they certainly don't do things by half's. You obviously cant compare this type of trip to a cruise voyage, but if you really had to, I would say its closest to a trip on the Oasis Of The Seas. I can hear the cries of disbelief already. Although this IS a very weak comparison, on both options there are unparalleled activities on offer and a lot of money has been spent on entertainment. So Is it worth saving yourself £1000's of pounds and visiting Butlins instead? NO!

You still get what you pay for. We did have a very good time this was down to the friends we went with and the resort was actually very good, but it still isn't quite measure up to a holiday abroad. Although unbelievably it was actually T-shirt weather the whole time we were there..............in October! The food was ok, but unfortunately both me and my wife fell ill on our last day. This could be a combination of either food poisoning, a winter bug or even swimming around in a pool of hundreds of kids, either way I hope we feel better soon! Well I'm back now for the rest of November so as usual, any questions please let me know!
