【解析】M: Hi, Ms Lawrence, I am fed up with spending my summer holidays in the same place year after year. So, when I saw your advertisement, I thought I’d make a phone call and ask you about the cruise holiday around the Mediterranean Sea.

It isn’t clear in your ad when the cruise holiday is scheduled to begin. Are there fixed dates during the summer or can we choose when we want to go? You see, my wife, Pamela, and I would rather go at the end of August. As we also like shopping, do you think we’ll have time to go shopping at every port? Some friends of ours went to Spain last year and they found some real bargains! Since we’ve never traveled on a cruise ship before, will we have lots of things to do on board? I suppose there will be a fully equipped gym at least!

However, I’m mostly interested in finding out how much this is going to cost. Will I have to put my hand real deep in my pocket? You say that there are special offers, especially for families with children. We are taking our twin daughters, Emily and Julie, aged 5, with us, so I’m really anxious to find out the total cost as soon as possible. Thank you.
