    What sort of honeymoon are you after?
    You can always go into the actual travel agent and then have a look for the same holiday online?

    There are so many people out there who will tell you
    what you can't do.
    What you have to do is turn around and say, "watch me"!!

    hey steph. me and h2b tried the websites but gave up as we are doing a multi-centre honeymoon.
    so instead we went into TC and got the holidya sorted. we knew what we wanted when we went in as we have researched it all before hand.
    if there is anything you would like me to look up, place wise and hotels wise, i would be happy to help you out hun xx

    we went with Th***sons and they are the other company linked to FC. I dont know if the site is easier to navigate? But get prices from the web and in store and see if they can do a good deal.

    we got about 500 off by comparing prices and acting indecisive.

    We went with Kuoni who were really helpful, we got a 15% discount too by umming and aahing - I went to TC and felt like it was just a package holiday not a honeymoon, he was trying to get us on charter flights etc and ignored what I was asking for completely! My friend used Destinology too who were really good too apparently - you could always try these places for ideas then go and book your own separately if you prefer?

    we just went in and said we have this much and we want to go this week and it has to be hot and she looked through all sorts and then when she found one she showed us it in the brochure and we picked one so that we fly 4 days after the wedding so it gives us time to pack and send out thank you cards and stuff

    I always get a quote online with companies like TC and FC, but then I use a different company to book, as they specialise in the Caribbean, price-match online quotes, and are just much more helpful in my experience than the bigger companies.

    Finding holidays online shouldn't be difficult; go to the holidays tab, select your destination, departure airport, and dates, and then see what results come up. I then click on the ones that interest me (eg that are within budget and look nice) and read a bit more about them, check out the photos etc, and then shortlist about 5. These properties I then research more on review sites, to see how well rated they are, and if I think they will suit our needs.

    I've been to Cuba twice and stayed all over, and if you do Cuba, I would suggest a twin-centre with a few nights in Havana, as IMPO Havana is a must-see.

    I've also been to the DR, and we're going back again in June/July; we've booked a property called the Gran Bahia Principe Esmeralda, the rooms are beautiful with 4-poster beds and jacuzzi baths, and 24 hour room service, plus full mini-bar, we can eat at a la carte restaurants every night if we wish, inc a choice of 3 adult's only ones, we have access to 4 pools, inc a small adult's only jacuzzi pool, and so on; we were at another resort on the complex in 2008 and it is immaculate: very clean with beautiful grounds and a gorgeous beach. We've paid £1180 pp which includes private transfers and choice of seats on the plane.

    I can also recommend Mexico; we've been 3 times and it's great, but tends to cost out a little more for the better resorts.

    If you'd like any info, please let me know.

    We went with TC. We booked 10nights in Cuba. The website wasn't great so I went in and we spoke to someone really helpful who helped us choose where to go and made it feel like a honeymoon rather than a holiday. I think it definitely depends on the agent themselves as we went somewhere else.... beginning with a T and the bloke in there was so disinterested and was trying to sell us somewhere we didn't want to go as he obviously was getting commission or something!!!

    Here comes the bride......

    We went to Mauritius and booked with Mercury direct - we found the exact same holiday as with a more well known company for WAY cheaper xxx
