AN UPDATE FROM JACK
We started Need That Cruise six years ago, and what a journey it’s been! From just 148 members in April 2019 to over 12,000 today, our growth has been incredible. We have never spent a single pound on advertising; our success comes entirely from happy members recommending us, reflected in our outstanding 5 0 Trustpilot rating
We run an annual Christmas Draw, unlike anything else in the UK. Last year’s winner treated themselves to MSC Yacht Club with £2,000 off, and this year’s live draw will take place on Monday 22nd December, with a £2,500 Future Cruise Credit as the top prize. To be in the draw, simply make a booking, the more bookings you make, the more chances you have to win!
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of our loyal customers for being part of the Need That Cruise journey so far. We’ve got so much more planned for the future!
You could win in our Christmas draw!
I would like to say the biggest thank you to Jack Kay at Need That Cruise, as we won the first prize of £2000 in the booking number draw competition of last year. We had the most amazing time in Yacht Club on the Virtuosa, sailing to Norway and exploring the Fjords.
Thank you Jack for the opportunity to experience this through our prize, your service is outstanding right down to every detail. Through booking with Need That Cruise, we have travelled many times and have been fortunate enough to experience many beautiful parts of the world. So don’t forget, this could be you in this years draw, and I hope you have such a magical time like we did. Thank you Jack!
