Sorry Linda, I was being flippant and not thinking.:):) Brain not back in gear yet.

No don't worry Jan:) She brought everything on herself. I refuse to feel guilty.

 

How are you anyway? Isn't it cold? Glad I've got cats and not a dog. They take themselves out (or not! when it is so cold)

Looks very nice RR - do they do other trips other than colourful coasts.? Nothing would persusade me to do that trip to Morocco and back again:eek::eek:

Is there a separate brochure for IE, I've never seen it in Thomsons brochure.

 

Looks nicer than Ocean Village:D:D Oh shut up Linda! stirring again!

By the way what did you think of OV?

Just got the IE brochure. Like the look of "Escape to the Med" but can't make head not tail of the pricing. I looked on the website and they only seem to have deluxe (maybe) or inside (no,no,no!!) Really like outside cheap!:D

 

What cabins do you experts (R.R./Jan) recommend?:confused::confused:

Hi Linda

 

Only been on the once as you know and we were on deck 9 (Golden, I think). It's really confusing with deck numbers and then names, as well as the colours not matching on the key and the cabin diagrams. We were in 9048 and it would have been perfect but for the fact that there was a great big tender obliterating the nice big window, on the deck plan it looks as though there are gaps between the lifeboats but don't be fooled as these gaps are taken up with the hoists and other metalwork. Deck 8 has a promenade along it and they allow smoking on there so you find a lot of people lurking around there all the time which is no good if your window looks out on it. I noticed that most of the curtains were shut all day long which defeats the object. Deck 9 though was very convenient for us to nip upstairs to the Beachcomber, pool, gym etc. and down to all the other parts, it was very quiet on there as well as above our cabin was the photoshop I think. So I would def. book a cabin at either end away from the lifeboats if you want that one, we had a fridge as well which the cabins on the lower decks don't get. The balcony cabins aren't worth the bother, if you remember Berwyn had one and they never went on it as it was too cold and windy. They hang over the side of the ship as well and obviously have been welded on as an afterthought, I wouldn't feel safe on them at all. Personally I don't see the point of paying all that extra for a De-luxe cabin but that's just me. Cheap!!:eek: Having been on the lowest deck on Celebration I don't think we would do that again as we spent a lot of time walking up countless flights of stairs as the lifts were always full, especially on port days.:):)
