Thomson Celebration Balconies?

[CRUISIN LINDA]

Lol, me too! Usually say, meet in the bar near the show lounge, or the bar with the canon. I always forget the name Hemmingway's.

Ooh thanks Sailaway not just me then? :D:D

[Jakanne1]

Just had to get my brochure out to see what bar you were talking about. Is it me? I never remember names of bars or staff names :o:o

 

If I'm meeting DH somewhere we always say "meet in the bar by the library/ up on deck 10/ by the pool" etc. :o:o

 

 

Me too, Linda. The corridor coffee bar, the bar near the buffet, lounge under the buffet, that place where they do the minute steaks......and I'm pleased my cabin number is on my ship card because I keep forgetting it! :D

Things are getting exciting though aren't they?

Did you all read what Ocavango had to say (or not say!) about Spirit.

Artists impressions of the new look explorers on the brand new official Thomson Cruises Facebook page. I think you'll all be happy from what I can judge.

 

Saw this earlier - looks great & just what was needed - hope we've made the right choice booking the Dream for next year now......!

Hi Linda

 

Here's my tip- I get a small bit of card and make a list of decks 1, 2,3,etc.Against each Deck number I write the name of bar/restaurant etc, and whether at front or back of ship! This goes in the outside pocket of my handbag for quick reference.

 

Only problem I have on Majesty is which is front and which is back! In daylight when we are at sea I can look out of the window to establish which direction it is to the front- but in the dark???? There was one ship with dolphins on the carpet which all swam forward, but not on the Majesty lol.

Thanks for the tips Flopsy :) Even if I see the sea going by, I still have to think "The sea is going that way, so we must be going the other way" if that makes sense :D:D

Definitely makes sense to me! I am the same. :rolleyes:

 

4 times on the Majesty and I still get confused, yet it is not a problem in a big hotel. Two day trips on Spirit and totally confused so Celebration would be just the same. But as Dream have all entertainment on the same deck that should make it easier. :D

I think it looks great too....nice and fresh....but not cosy.

 

Wonder if they have been doing something similar on the Dream while it has had a week "off"?

I did V. Hope it is still going from Newcastle to fiords, etc, though.

 

I pull my brochure to bits and make my own with the relevant bits and include any tips from here, Internet and FB and then add to it when I return from cruise.

news details on the thomson celebration details, looks like this is what they will call the coffe bar, so might be extended

 

 

Browser's Corner café with internet access.

No, was checking that also. Probably won't be any until the new brochures next month now. :(

[mtt]

they should make the deck 5 balcony with disabled facilities too

[Sailaway487]

New deck plans are now online:

 

http://www.thomson.co.uk/cruise/ships/thomson-celebration-deck-plans.html

 

Changes are on Eagle Deck (9) and Broadway Deck (5).

[Malch_uk]

Deck plan shows Deck 9 are "bolt-on" balconies and Deck 5 are "recessed".

[happy v]

I bet no.251 right next to the kids club doesn't sell very fast.:eek::)

[mtt]

Wehave booked cabin no 5 done quite well with the balcony size, was offered either 2 or 5, looks like they are the only twin bed cabins on that deck

I thought that too! Think I'd avoid that one.

Definitely the best cabin that one! HUGE balcony!!!

[Sailaway487]

Some pics from Facebook of the work being done. First pic is where the cinema once was. The second is the holes being made for the balconies on deck 5. Also, apparently a big screen will be placed in Liberties bar to show movies on now, plus more movie channels are being added to the TV channels now the cinema has gone.

Thanks for posting these Sailaway - I still haven't mastered the art of putting photos on CC

 

Wo are you on FB then? Assume you are on the "unofficial" Thomson Cruise group? :)

No, I'm not. I did have a FB account but I don't use it. You can view the Thomson Cruises account without it. :)
