If you post something like this, you are absolutely certain to get a bucket load of re-assuring replies, because that is what the nice kind people on here think you want to hear; and they may well be correct.
I assume you have the option of getting out of a TCD holiday without too much financial penalty, as there surely can be no point in starting a thread like this if you can’t??
However the main reason I am posting(despite your request for honesty) is that I think it is very important to give another view for the many people who read this open forum and might get impression that TCD are a good firm; which IMO would be a false impression.
So if you want to hear my honest opinion read on.
As you might have gathered, I wouldn’t book a holiday with TCD. I should declare that I have travelled only once with them, and had another separate dispute with them.
However I don’t like the ethos of the company and have read far too many bad reviews about them to believe there is no ‘smoke without fire’. Your wife has also read the reviews and a Google will produce countless examples of dissatisfaction with the company.
My only concern about the flights would be the same concern I have with many other charter companies, namely that delays are commonplace and with no ‘spare’ long distance aircraft, the delays can take days to clear; and is there any worse place in the civilised world to spend hours than Sanford airport?
I hope the quoted price includes all the extras you need – like the unbelievable prices they charge for car insurance alone; which is far more than the car rental site on this forum charges for the car together with all of the insurances.
However my biggest concern would be the standard of accommodation, and its location, you are likely to get allocated.
I have no connection with this site, in that I don’t rent out my property, so have no axe to grind. However you can see the standard of the properties available and, from the reports on here, the clients report almost unanimous satisfaction with the properties.
It is a racing certainty that TCD will pay ‘bottom dollar’ for their properties and they will be chosen for their price rather than their quality. There is little likelihood of them being the standard of most on here. – again do a Google.
As said above, I am not clear why you have started this thread. If you can cancel without penalty, I would do so. If you can’t, then you must take your chances and with luck all will be well; and I am sorry if my opinion is not what you wanted to hear.
Above all if you are another reader contemplating a TCD all inclusive holiday, I can only suggest you do some research first.
