For some reason Mexican Medley and Mayan Treasures is showing the same itinerary. Not sure if this is a mistake or not?

[Sailaway487]

One thing to note, all Montego Bay itineraries include only 4 ports (3 regarding the overnight in Havana), so 2 days at sea. I guess this is the sacrifice though of having to sail somewhere new that is quite a distance away from the home port. Would prefer only one day at sea, but I think being able to get to places like Panama it's worth the two days. :D

[Sailaway487]

As said before, long haul itineraries will go on sale next Thursday (14 Nov). Would expect the rest of the season to go on sale Thu 12 Dec. :)

I couldn't get the link to work with the 'www.' in it. This worked for me though:

Thanks! I've edited now. Had problems trying to add the link in before, kept not recognising it so just added a www. :D

We have recently returned from a Panama Canal transit cruise, the closer we got to central America the wetter and more humid the weather with cracking thunderstorms, at one point it felt like drinking the air! I very much doubt the Dream would do a partial transit of the canal, but will offer tours to Gatum locks from colon,very interesting eco rain forests in costa rica just be prepared for the rain!!

its still the rainy/liquid sunshine season in caribbean at the moment

 

dry season starts in late november/december thru to about march (feb is the best time to go for calm seas and sunnyness imo)

Thank Sailaway, I love winter holidays. I just hope I can do my two favourite itineraries btb. If not I'll suffer in silence and do the other one the year after.;)

 

Geo, you will have to calm down the £10 ai is only on Celebration, because they know we'll all want to do the new destinations.

[Little Nell]

Well, that is ok for me, Happy v, because I haven't done the old ones :D

[Sailaway487]

Now that the info regarding next winters itineraries is out, it would seem like the perfect timing for a Q&A. ;);):D

Panama and Central America has been mentioned a lot on this forum and how people wished Thomson to sail there, and kudos to them, now they've got the Dreamliner and the ability to do more flights to Jamaica, they've given it us. Clearly they do listen. ;):D

[geomagot]

tbh sailaway I really am v impressed with thoms right now

 

brand new state of the art aircraft

 

montego bay, cuba...... fantastic...good call thoms

 

balconies....yep that will be fab

I hope it all works well for them....and us

Just read on a Cruise Deals that not only will they offer £50 onboard spending per person for Thomson Dream sailings, but also free all inclusive upgrade. Not sure on how true that is. Perhaps the free AI is for transatlantic cruises?

 

They seem to be really pushing cruise and stay this time, particularly Sensatori Jamaica. Apparently cruise and stay is worth 30% of the business now!

 

Thomson Celebration will be adults only in January 2015.

Now that would be unbelievable!, but quite acceptable :). I'd book early for that......and I don't drink!!!

I like the itinerary on the Pride of Panama cruise, visited there previously with Princess when doing the Panama Canal, especially as it includes Limon in Costa Rica, with Sloths and monkey's jumping from tree to tree .
