Thomson Dream Incredible Ports by cbloom7073

This was my 8th cruise with Thomson but the first outside of the Med. It was a typically Thomson cruise with all the good food, activities and service I have experienced before. We booked the cruise a fortnight before, based on the itinerary, and were not disappointed. The weather was very kind and the sea was calm throughout (although I believe the week before had missed a couple of ports due to high winds). Continue reading... Incredible Ports

 

Marco Polo Excellent Marco Polo by Benb111

Great cruise around British Isles, helped by excellent, sunny weather apart from Kirkwall. Nice sized ship, around 800 passengers, most aged 70 plus. (Average age way above 60). On board staff excellent, most from Ukraine; restaurant staff and chefs, mainly Indian. Brilliant waiter Kalpit and wine waitress Valentina. Wanted to see the Italian Chapel in Orkney, and signed up to a 'Leisurely Orkney' tour which highlighted the Chapel. Yet we stayed just 20 minutes at the Italian Chapel (in a 3 1/2 hr tour), totally ridiculous. We were bussed in and bussed out and taken to less interesting sites including a tea stop of almost an hour! Continue reading... Excellent Marco Polo

 

Island Escape The best cruise I have been on by ellie4evva

This was the 3rd cruise i've been on, however it was the first Thomson's Cruise. The other companies I have been with are Princess Cruises and Celebrity Cruises, both of which were more costly than this 'budget cruise'. To start off with the flights and embarkation were well organised and staff were very efficient. The ship looks big, however it is a nice size, there's plenty of space, yet you keep bumping into the same people which is nice. There are plenty of things onboard for all ages, including a couple of lounges, a 'pub', casino, swimming pool, spa, gym and of course 2 inclusive 'self-serve' restaurants. There is a wide range of food provided all day, with a different theme for each day, There is a 'posher' restaurant which serves delicious food with waiter service, for this there is an extra £15 cover charge per person, however I feel that this was worth it for the quality of food and the waiter service.
