What will be the future for the Island Escape?

razor blades??

unfortunately you cant do day before checkin for caribbean flights (or dubrovnik afaik?)

baggage labels with your cabin number will be given to you at the bag drop desk on the day (gatwick.... dont know about other airports)

its best to check with your travel medic for individual vaccination advice

but if you are wondering if any vacinations are an immigration requirement?

we did this itinerary last christmas cuba mexico panama costa rica etc... we didnt have any vaccinations (we were all up to date) and were never asked to provide any vaccination certificates

i would recommend a good insect repellent (costa rica/panama)

hope this helps

 

contact Nigel Calder

good idea

if enough people contact him he would be in a good position to demand some sort of explanation from thomsons

Nah! the crate would be cider :D

 

not really ;):D .... cider has a supplement on ai:D

guess the nationality?!!!

Somerset? :)

tell taxi driver the ship and they will know the right place to drop you for checkin (driver should help with your bags too)

could always use the balcony i spose:D

Not the one, geo. Nice try, but no cigar. :p

yeah... good point

just tryina help ... thought it may help those out who are considering a balcony?..... (in the absence of anyone having any pics)

my pics are from face book ....thanks f/b

i havnt actually been in a balcony cabin on thoms or even seen one:o ...perhaps you could fill us in on the respective cabin numbers?:cool:

Why are they doing military exercises near international airports?

thats just what they are telling us linda.... i find it hard to believe that they would be firing live missiles anywhere near a comercial flight path:(

yep... cheap rucksack & cheap sandals.... which you could probably pick up out there very cheaply;)

i usually buy a couple of those cheap combination padlocks so that i can lock up my rucksack (through the zipper pulls) and padlock it to a tree (or someting?)

once a day sun lotion (p20) put it on before you go no need to take it to the beach

I find those little waterproof phone cases useful (they sell them on the plane) I clip it to the inside of of my shorts pocket and keep a few dollars & ship card in there.... i have a waterproof camera which i keep with me in the water (with a floaty strap)

i dont think you are alone in feeling that way linda, hopefully travel companies will do the right thing for their customers and allow people to switch .... its looking increasingly likely that egypt is not gonna be back on the tourist map anytime soon tbh

Happy Hot Dogs!

ooooh!! just in time for the neighbourhood fireworks party damp squib washout tonight;):)

all i know is they are replacing the casino... with the same casino probably:rolleyes:

and putting some chairs out the back

best bar deck 10... deck 10.... deck 10 ... deck 10 again (especially live lounge at 9pmish):cool:

cabin 5132 outside plus midship with bath and a bigger picture window... havnt been in it personally but all o/s+ are the same... spacious, good shower & plenty of storage, steward will convert from twin to double or vice versa

enjoy

hope this helps

tbh linda that sounds pretty nice .... makadi bay is lovely (we have been there) it wont be too busy only a couple of flights a week from UK going there... maybe even just one flight a week?.... lots of security in that area locals are used to tourists and are pretty friendly/westernised

makadi water park is quite good.... ok its a water park with rides/slides? but an all day all inclusive ticket is cheap, includes food and drink, nice big pool, terraces, sunbeds, gardens, palm trees, fixed price no hassle shops, lots of diffrent cafe bars (no alcohol btw) its a large site and it'll be pretty quiet

discovery dream & celeb use the same hotel agency as was used on the old ie.... so you may see some ex ie staff

maj & spirit are run by a different agency

there's good community of pax from all over uk and beyond and from all walks of life & age groups on all thomsons ships imo

have a good one:cool:

how great for you that the weather has cleared up:cool:

the celebration must be on its repositioning trans atlantic cruise ... should be a lot of waving and cheering from the decks later ;):)

you can buy british newspapers in morrisons or in the newsagents in casemates square

have a good one

ahha another website to track (bookmarked) thanks stevio:cool:

that is a v good price for a gatwick room.... premier inn is v convenient for north terminal (even more convenient at that price)

we ditched sharm this year .... we had been going there (with family in tow) first week in november :eek: for several years, we did breifly toy with the canaries for november but in the end we decided to stay at home this year

are you definately switching from sharm linda? probably a good chance that you can change without any financial loss

the Premier Inn at Gatwick was snapped up when it went down to £39 for the pre flight stay. :) :)

oooh! not bad:cool: ... is that by booking direct with premier inn or thru a holiday extras style site

its a long walk around the port to get to the town, the main part of the town is pretty level some shops are up a steep hill and the gardens have lots of steps (but I think there are ramps?)

the cable car is accessible (they have an adapted car)

I think? the port run golf carts up to the start of the town for people with low mobility (someone will be along who knows for sure)

if not? taxis are available from the ships gangway, a taxi tour may be the way togo? away from the port area/center of town the rest of funchal is pretty hilly

good to have you back campolady... good to hear the food is still ok on dream

we also think the wine packages are good value and a nice selection to choose from:cool:

glad you had a good time
