Cricket world cup 2007

Hi all, I'm thinking about going to the cricket world cup next year and was wondering if anyone who posts on here is going, are any Irish tour operators doing packages or is there an official ICU tour operator? Appreciate any help, thanks.

Since we didn't make the soccer World Cup, I think we should all go and support Ireland playing the other "garrison game" at the cricket World Cup. And hey where would you want to go for two weeks, Germany or the West Indies?

I think I mixed up these two threads

Anyhoo... C&P....

Packages, as we'll be based in Jamaica, accomodation should be ok to get, a bit better than other islands, for sure, i.e. at least we are not in England's group for that. I don't see any package deals, but I'd be wary of booking deposits just yet, there is one more hurricane season left before the tournament starts, and the ICC themselves think that the WICB will get to host the tournament, but if a few islands and stadia get damaged, I think the have either Australia or SA on stand-by to step in.

Thanks DMC, damn hurricanes always causing trouble! I'm not thinking of booking anything yet, just gathering info.

Carribean Connections in Midleton Cork are doing packages, not sure of prices, I have heard that the cost of accomodation is very high as owners cash in on the WC. As regards being easy to get, don't forget that we are in a group with the WI who will have a big travelling support from the UK so flights and hotels could be hard/expensive to come by.

A girl in our club is organising the package for anyone interested in North County and the Hills CC i think... (she is married to Paul Mooney, plays for NCCC and Irish team)
€1300 flights and 3star accomodation....

can't remember the name of the place she works for, but at next training session i'll check it out for yee if ye like...

I think there are 54 going between the Hills CC And North County CC... i'd love to go but am going to Florida in Sept, and i'd never save in time lol

I think the tickets for the matches over there go on sale this week.

I know i got a price in March for €2119 including match tickets but they couldn't confirm they could get the tickets for the matches and they wanted €500 deposit non refundable cause they can only book flights a year in advance or something i think and they couldn't even confirm defo getting them, that was from Carribean Connections... i'm trying to find the e-mail now lol
