Michelle we will be somewhere in that queue with you in the morning, what a mess this whole thing is we have just checked our tickets. Would not have noticed it if you had not pointed it out, lets just hope we enjoy this holiday. Is the rollercoaster ride over now? or will be getting back on tomorrow morning? who knows.

Hope you all get the holiday you want and everybody have a great time

to you all.

back in two weeks sukaay and firebird

have a great time sukaay and firebird

im sure that this will be one rollercoaster ride that all of us will remember for a long time to come off to the airport in an hour its 4.30am and im knackered lol

see you all in 2 weeks

After 10 months and 170 posts we are finally on our way to......Pegasos Tropical. Cheers FC.

have a wonderful time firebird and sukkay, we are off to cuba next thurs long flight but our kids are teenagers they look after themselfs, pp and pt looks very nice please let me know what its like for next year,
get your buts on them sunbeds and breath a sy of relief and enjoy !!!!!!!!!!

I hope everyone has now managed to find alternative holidays and that you make the most of them - I think after all the hassle we have all been through we deserve them.

We were really limited on replacement holidays as there are not many 5 bedded rooms left anywhere but finally got sorted and are now going to Blue Bay Escape in Corfu and although its not what I booked it looks okay and there are kids clubs etc.

As I originally booked directly I phoned the helpline (0161 number) and the 2 girls I spoke to were fantastic and helpful in sorting this out. They honoured the free kids place as well (they said it was possible as long as the hotel you were going to advertised free kids.)

I have told first choice that I have accepted this alternative, but not in full and final settlement and will be persuing the matter further as I have had
3 holidays cancelled by them this year and each time have had to change my dates of travel etc.

For those of you that go soon have a fantastic time - I am grateful to everyone on this forum as without your posts I expect I would still be thinking I was going to Kos on 2nd August as FC have made no attempt to contact me.

Hi everyone
just a little note please ask to see what you are being charged for as we were told our holiday cost more than KABC but when you checked they had added, fuel duty was increased from orginal cost, and sitting together had been put on, even though we didnot ask for it, and other items, it added nearly £150.00 to our holiday cost, and get them to check the internet prices, and late availability, as the should match.

Anyone been to Bulgaria? Can't seem to find anything else...

I have now got 4 possibles

Titantic Beach & Resort hotel in Turkey
Aqua fantasy in Turkey
Hotel Petra Mare in Crete
Blue Bay escape in Corfu

Anyone been?
Any advice?

Kelly Marie,

Aqua Fantasy in Turkey looks great. We couldn't get in there.

Leannec have you found any reviews for Titanic ?
When do you go in July?

Kelly Marie

We went to Titanic in May when they changed opening date from 1 May to 24 May (we were due to go 20 May). We loved it - lots to do for adults and kids, good shows, clean etc. PM me if you have any specific questions (so that Wizard does not tell us off for going OT) - and also see my review under the Hotels section.

Good luck!

I was told by the 0161 number that I could change my holiday if I wanted but everything is coming back at more or less £1000 more which we just can't afford. She said that they are dealing with this years holidays first and then they will get around to next years in order of bookings taken.

You would think they would just give us our deposits back to save the hassle of having to find us alternative holidays later.

But nothing is that easy with First Choice.

hi everyone just about to book sun tropical holiday village in lanzarote just waiting for an agreed price then hopefully thats where we are going anyone been there or anyone heard anything about it hi kelly we liked the look of hotel petra mare but was put off with over 4 hour flight then nearly 2hours to get there with tired kids thats half a day travelling

Kelly Marie look at this site

It is set out like a static cruise ship.

I go in August.

IMPORTANT PASSPORT REMINDER

For travel to Greece, immigration/entry requirements specify that passports need only be valid for the duration of your stay in the country.

Please bear in mind that some other countries have different rules and require you to have a minimum of 3 months or 6 months validity on your passport.

As some of you are now being offered holidays in countries other than Greece, please just make sure that your passport (and visa if applicable) meets the requirements of those countries. It would be terrible to accept an alternative holiday, only to discover that your personal documentation does not meet the entry requirements for that country.

If you travel with a different tour operator, that operator may also have passport validity rules which differ from those of both First Choice and the country which you are proposing to visit.

Before booking or accepting an alternative holiday, please check out the passport regulations for the country and tour operator concerned, ensuring that you have sufficient time to renew your passport before departure if necessary.

If you do require information (resort, accommodation or entry requirements) for any other country, please post in the relevant Holidaytruths resort or country forum, as posting here in the Greece forum may not attract the attention and information which you urgently require.

Hi all,

I have spoken with Trading standards this morning.

Just as We have a contract with Eclipse/FC where We cannot get a refund. They are in breach of contract with all us not ending up at KABC. Any holiday offered to you should NOT COST YOU an extra penny. You should only be paying the price stated in your contact!

I appreciate that some of you just don't have the time and needed to find a location in the space of days. This is a note that may help us going later.

First Choice has taken the decision not to put customers into the Kos Aqua Beach Club this summer, and will now be taking legal action against the developer. For full details of the statement, please click here:
