Chris there are big price increases for the hemera, the september date has gone up buy at least £800 per couple compared to september this year. If price are that high I can't see people booking, especially as the recession really starts to hurt with higher job loses, it will be a case of waiting to see what happens to prices, if they are lowered because of slow bookings.

I just rang Direct Holidays myself and spoke to a really helpful lady who is calling me back later as she wasn't sure whether the price she was seeing was including the discount. She didn't have Susesi listed and said the contract for Cornelia hadn't been finalised yet, but she did have Royal Dragon, Royal Wings, Arcadia and they all priced up at around £5,200 for a family room (2 adults, kids 13 and 15) to give you an idea. A big hike from this year.

If anyone is interested, she also listed:

Grida Village
Maritime
Atlantis
Papillon
WOW
Alba
Lara Beach

Brochures aren't available yet, but she thinks they'll land between 22 - 26/6.
Interestingly, the Saturday flight from Gatwick was cheaper than mid-week and the flight times were quite good.

TC don't have flights on the system yet, although the woman did go through the rigmarole of putting all the details in but it came back with the same error as it does if we try online!!

That was leaving from Gatwick 14/8/10 for 2 weeks in a family room.

Chris would your kids be priced as adults because mine are, have you priced as 4 staying in a suite, with TC this year that was the cheapest option. I reckon its best to wait for the prices to go live, the lady who i spoke to said there could be a lot of errors in the prices and she can't check against the brochure price.

I think the kids would be adult prices, but she didn't say - she just gave me the final figure. She tried pricing for 2 separate rooms, but that was coming out dearer - don't suppose they have all the info available yet - It was cheaper to travel on the Saturday because although the airport tax is more, the adult price was less.

Good to have a rough idea of prices though - I thought they'd be high. Wonder if they'll drop later on?????!!!!! DH left a message on my answerphone saying she hadn't heard back from the Product Dept about whether a discount would be applied to the prices she gave me.
