One sure fire way of not getting turned around is to remove said items of swimwear before proceding down the slide, or better still at the begining of the queue, that way maybe you will get to the front quicker, i'm sure i would prefer you in front of me .....lol :p :D

53 days to go, nice to say we go on cruise next month :) , i remember when it was 186 days away, time flies (but hope it drags on the boat)

You could always book the same cruise, then you would not have to hassle setting up the countdown as its already there :)

You can nearly see my house from there. Doing the epic on 30th August, thanks for the good review, nice to see its not full of whinging and moaning.

Why doesn't a cruise line do an Alcohol free package ?? not all adults want alcohol all the time, i would buy one if it included juices, virgin cocktails etc, and would gladly pay individually for alcoholic drinks

My wife and I have the UBP , even though we are not big drinker (to be honest the wife is near teetotal )and our 2 boys have the soda package, can our boys get virgin cocktails on their soda package , or could the wife order one and swap it for their cola when they order drinks ( the boys like a virgin cocktail while watching the entertainmemt at night, makes them fell grown up....lol )

We have just hit our 89 days from sailing and have booked cagneys (just for me and my better half) , tenpanyaki and other restaurants no problem , we have UDP and all bookings have been confirmed.

Thanks folks for the answers, we are going the end of August, and are just booking the speciality nights now its 89 days away!!!!! we were going to go to Speigel on first night, but knowing this now we will be going on my birthday night instead :)

Is cirque dreams incuded in the UDP for the first night of your cruise ?

Great to hear a persepctive from a fellow brit, we too are doing the Epic at the end of august with our two boys, so seeing the dailies would be fantastic, just so wil know how to keep them occupied, only difference for us is that we live in Majorca, so a quick 45 min flight from palma to barcelona. and of course we won't be getting off the ship in Palma as "been there done that", more like " live there, seen it all".....lol

Website not that helpful, as just says port play, so i take it their is no kids club activities whilst the ship is docked ?? We like to stay on the ship and not always go explorong the ports, usually on all other cruise lines they have had some kind of activities for the children during the day.

found this link for the Epic which explains it better

Does anybody know if they show films on the big screen on the Epic, i saw a couple on a daily. #Atrium and H2O spice, but i thought kids are not allowed into spice ? my youngest is a film nut and would love to sit outside and watch one on the big screen

Its a shame we dont stay longer in Palma so everyone could get off the ship, so I could have it to myself. i'm not getting off there as i live in mallorca and go to Palma nearly every weekend. Don't get me wrong there is still lots of stuff i haven't seen in palma, and visiting the cathedral is a MUST !!!, shops are just up the road from it. Great bars and restaurants, any info needed drop me a line. BTW its 27'c here today, wonder how hot its gonna be in August !!!

Has anybody got any photos of a balcony cabin for 4 (2 adults 2 kids) i was just wondering of the configuration for the beds. i can't seem to see where the bed 4 is. Thanks in advance. Staying in cabin 11073 if that helps

So your saying i dont have to pay DSC if i don't want to ?.....Yippeeee , maybe i could afford one of them excursions now :p

Thanks glad to hear this about the safe. How would I know if on the Med cruise what is required for passport? We are thinking carry photo copy leave original in safe, but not sure of protocol as hearing conflicting reports. Thanks for the info.

I live in Mallorca, Spain, and the law in spain is that evryone must carry some type of photo ID, ie passport, driving licence, health card etc. In 17 years of living here i have never been stopped and asked for ID, but there is always a first time. If you are purchasing anything from a shop with your credit/debit card they will always ask for ID.

What time do we have to disembark thomson dream on our last day ? On RCI we had to be off for about 9am, as we live on mallorca we can stay on until they chuck us off.......lol, but would like to know what the official time is.

Thanks for the great report, that will put my wife's mind at rest as we go in 2 weeks. All people ever seem to focus on is how bad something was. Glad to see a positive post. Can't wait til i can post one when we return, it's been a long summer already.

Hi folks, i know this has probably been asked a few times before, but what plug sockets are there on thomson dream cabins. We live in spain , Majorca actually , so just a 40 min car drive to get on the boat, shame i have to work until 4pm on the day of sailing first.

We use the european round 2 pin plugs here, not the lovely 3 pin plugs (separate fuse) ones i pine for from back home.....lol

Hi, does anyone know if thomson dream do a soft drink package, we are not all alca frolics, or any other soft drink promotion as my 2 kids will drink like fishes on there
