Sailaway487 Posted October 1, 2012 #28 Share Posted October 1, 2012 About the time the leases run out on Spirit and Majesty ? Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2 I thought that too, especially Thomson Spirit. If Spirit leaves, then I'm guessing a new build would be its replacement.

Sailaway487 Posted October 1, 2012 #29 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I wonder if Cruiseman2010 or Cruisingboyo have got any information at hand for us. I remember previously regarding the Platinum upgrades and the swap of Destiny to Majesty, they had been notified beforehand regarding these changes and mentioned them on the forum. I think they also used to put up the preview of the next years itineraries, before being taken off. Have either of the two of you got any insider info for us? :confused: :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailaway487 Posted October 21, 2012 #30 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Just to let you know that the dates on Madeira Port Authority have now been altered and Thomson Dream's sailings have been taken off their site for October 2013. They must have made a mistake, so no cruises to be cancelled. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next February will confirm things when i have cabin 6005 booked. I have done the Red Sea and have no intention of going back. if i end up in the caribbean i might as well go P&O which is cheaper than Dream.

Currently it seems to be Dream in the Caribbean, Spirit/Celebration in the Canaries and Majesty in the Red Sea. Saying that though, as the Dream sailing dates were wrong on Madeira's website, chances are these might be too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's working now, but it says that the Dream is there on 23rd Oct, which is Tuesday. That can't be right can it? Mind you there are 2 big ships in at the moment and another due to arrive tomorrow, so not a lot of room! They do look very nice lit up :) camera 4 & 5http://www.madeira-web.com/camera/cam-04.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUISIN LINDA Posted October 22, 2012 #38 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Just found the Dream's itnerary on Cruise timetables and it is doing it the other way round this time, so she is at sea today (lucky them:eek:)and Madeira tomorrow. The weather doesn't look too good in Madeira today :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huddersfieldtourist Posted October 24, 2012 #39 Share Posted October 24, 2012 December is the release date for the cruise brochure as far as I am aware - and it was December last year too ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailaway487 Posted October 31, 2012 #40 Share Posted October 31, 2012 New brochures are coming out on Thursday, 15 November. Would expect then the release to be with the rest of the Thomson and First Choice range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sailaway487 Posted November 1, 2012 #45 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Just got an email from Thomson. Caribbean itineraries are going on sale 15 November. I'd expect the rest of the season to go on sale at the end of December. Looks like the Caribbean will be the only longhaul cruises on sale for winter 2013/14.

davecttr Posted November 1, 2012 #46 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Well i for one will not be jumping into booking a caribbean cruise for winter 2013. for me the important factor is where is Majesty going to be that winter. If, as rumoured, she is doing Red Sea Magic I will give serious consideration to booking the caribbean for that winter. Probably not on Dream though as the current price on P&O is £2329 plus £70 obc for 14 nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davecttr Posted November 2, 2012 #47 Share Posted November 2, 2012 According to my TA when the winter 2013/14 brochure comes out on the 15th it will include new caribbean destinations plus a return to Cuba The rest of the cruises should be published a couple of weeks later.

A return to Cuba! Now there's an itinerary to think about. :D Hope that is true as they seem to be really popular last year when they operated them. I wonder if it is going to be two ships in the Caribbean again then, one doing 14 night itineraries that get to Cuba and Jamaica, and then another doing the 7 night itineraries from Barbados.

Sailaway487 Posted November 2, 2012 #49 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Has everybody had the email from Thomson that mentioned the Caribbean cruises for next year? On it there's a picture of I think Cuba. It looks like it anyway. Will try and make an attachment of it on here to see if anyone recognises where it is.

Sailaway487 Posted November 2, 2012 #50 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Picture attached. Is it Cuba? Anyone recognise where it is? :confused: Quality of it isn't great I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
