Would rather be at home lol

Thames Cruise,London, £105.00/Person
Tucking into a three-course dinner with turkey as the main event and pulling crackers might sound as traditional as they come but the difference with this one is you’ll be cruising down the River Thames past the sights of central London and Greenwich to the Thames Barrier and back while you’re eating. The cruise leaves Westminster Pier at 12:30pm and gets back at 3.15pm, and there’s a welcome drink included and cash bar open throughout.
would you pay this much for christmas day lunch!

Jean, there is one advertised in our local paper: 3 days, 2 nights stay at a four star hotel, 2 dinners & breakfasts. The cruise is on New Years Eve on the Thames, and drinks are extra I believe. This one comes in at £269.95 per person, which I thought was a bit pricey, although it does include your return coach travel to London. Your one is way on the high side too. Best to stay indoors, because at the moment, its bloody freezing outdoors.

I've been on an enjoyable cruise down the Thames but it cost nowhere near that price! Mind you, a Christmas lunch wasn't included Why is it they inflate the charges at Christmastime? I suppose everyone involved is rewarded for working at holiday rates!

Once I finish work I rarely go back into London for pleasure at any time so it wouldn't appeal to me. A bit pricey but it is London so you have to expect that.
