Spent about 13k on a holiday to St Lucia then a Disney cruise. Only for us to miss the start of our cruise🤦🏻‍♀️

My honeymoon first time round in 2000. Can't remember cost but we went to South Pacific & Aus for 4 weeks. Was amazing. Not so amazing having to divorce him 10 years later though!

£8000 on Florida but that included the flights/accommodation/car hire/spending/park tickets

About £10K on Mexico. It was beyond amazing and worth every penny.

Two weeks in California and Las Vegas, three years ago. It was our last family holiday when our kids were 19 and 16, it was more expensive than it should've been because we booked two rooms in each hotel as we travelled around whereas we all stayed in the same room when they were younger.
I think it cost around £7000 with everything added in but it was a brilliant holiday and we wanted to do something special seeing as it'd probably be the last time that the four of us would go away together.

We just went to CentreParcs...

Three weeks in California for a big birthday. LA, Disneyland, road trip up the Pacific Coast Highway, Yosemite and San Francisco. My half was about £3k.

£24k - 8 weeks in Europe with stopovers in Hong Kong and Shanghai for a family of 5.

Worth every cent!

Cruise last week to the med. Booked a royal suite which was huge. It wasn't as expensive as some - it was £4400 for 2 but it was the most money I have spent on a holiday.

Bloodybridget · 12/08/2019 22:16

For price per day, it was the three night cruise on a small boat round a Scottish island, last year. It was absolutely wonderful.

Club Med Thailand. Was very nice as we could palm the dds off all day. We flew from Oz when we lived there, and it still cost £10k.

ParkheadParadise · 12/08/2019 22:29

Spent a lot on a trip to Dublin last month for DH's birthday 3night stay. The hotel was stunning. £1,000+

TheRLodger · 12/08/2019 22:32

Per a night a long weekend at hotel not in mainland UK

As a holiday in general Disney Florida, Cuba or Kenya

JoJoSM2 · 12/08/2019 22:34

OP, did you mean 800 or 8k?

I think my most expensive might have been 2 weeks in the Galapagos.

Nicknacky · 12/08/2019 23:19

cheese I went to Vilamendhoo in 1999. Paid £800 for a week in Sri Lanka then onto the Maldives, both all inclusive. In hindsight I don’t know how we got that deal (apart from going to Sri Lanka which was a shit hole but hotel was fab)

Nanalisa60 · 12/08/2019 23:24

Five days rafting down the Grand Canyon, cost a heap of dosh but worth ever penny!! It was amazing !!

RezCowgirl · 12/08/2019 23:26
