My reasons for switching to Thomson are similar to yours. Last year I wanted to use up holiday over Christmas. Being a Solo traveller P&O seem to charge you for 2 people (sorry I don't know the exact prices). I went on the Cuba Fusions and Mexico. Places I had not been with P&O. Thomson Ships are a little smaller and can get into the smaller ports. I was on the Dream, which is a bit of an old ship and was really disappointed when I got on the ship. Soon changed my mind when I met the staff and passengers. All very nice. I've been to all of the places on this years cruise, but the ship is a better spec. Price wise between P&O and Thomson is massive for a solo traveller over Christmas. (PS.... Bequia is Fab, I hope you love it too)

Hi....really interested to hear this. I've travelled to Caribbean with P&O for the last 5 years as a solo traveller. Ports are getting a little stale, so thinking of trying Thomson next year. Sounds like it's all positives......anything that you prefer with P&O that's missing with Thomson? Tough decision for me especially as I've built up a whole crowd of friends on P&O, many of whom travel to Caribbean each year.

Great news on the upgrade - I had the same 2 years ago! The outside cabins are tiny, much smaller than the inside single cabins, but much quieter too.

Have a fantastic trip! Just 4 weeks till I head to the Caribbean too...first time on Britannia :)

Jaceyar....did you have a lovely time? Did you have a favourite island / trip? Looking forward to my 4th cruise to the Caribbean. ..but never done tours, just visited the beaches.

Oops, just found the 'very quiet roll call....already in place. I'd be dangerous if I had half a brain [emoji1]

Hi everyone....I've been looking for a roll call for this cruise, but haven't spotted one yet! Will set one up now, if you want to wander over.

Hammers - once the roll call is set up, I'm sure there will be plenty of folks who can recommend tours etc. I head to the beach most days, so can't help much with the tours.:confused:
