This is not meant as a review. I Have not contributed a lot to this forum over the last year, but have lurked a lot and am very grateful for all the advice provided. This is my attempt to provide full information of what to expect on a typical Thomson Cruise.

It covers:

Hi Mtt,

 

Sorry, I do not have the excursion info. Because of health issues me and the wife tend to just visit the local ports of call these days. The trips are a bit too tiring for us.

When we went in July they run the trip in the morning and the afternoon. We didn't go on it this time but went on it the year before in the afternoon. I thought it was very good and enjoyed the little train trip from the bus park to the square.

You are welcome. I have received so much valuable information from this forum over the years that I just wanted to try to give little bit back and was determined during the cruise to collect and provide as much information as I could.

 

A big thank you goes out to kruzseeker and the other regular posters who take the time to provide the details that remove the uncertainty when booking a Thomson cruise.

And a great insight for first time cruisers too to help give them a feel of life on board.

 

I still remember the complete sense of confusion and disorientation I felt as we embarked on our first trip - and it just all slotted into place so easily! So really helpful I would think for information in general on what to expect - and not just for those doing this cruise.
