Balconies on Thomson cruise ships?

[Essexlass2]

I apologise if this question has been asked previously, but are there any balcony cabins on any of the Thomson cruise ships?

 

We have done one cruise with Thomson and enjoyed it very much. Certainly this board always appears to be much more laid back and friendly than any others, so I'm hoping someone might be able to help me please.

 

If they have balconies, we'd much prefer to abscond from P&O and come with Thomson again :D

Hi Essexlass! Not seen you on here in a while! :D

 

Yes, Thomson Dream has balconies (Grand Suites) and Thomson Celebration is currently as this very moment in dry dock having 26 balcony cabins added. The ones on deck 9 are deluxe ones which are being converted and the ones on deck 5 are new cabins that are replacing the old cinema. There's a thread on here called Thomson Celebration Balconies? that has some pics of the work being done and an artist impression of the cabins. :)

Here's the thread on Celebration's new balconies:

Quite long but there's some pics and info on there.

Thanks Sailaway487, interesting reading and I'm really pleased to know we will now be able to think about another cruise on Thomson :D
