No more napkin folding!

[Eglesbrech]

I have been cruising for a very long time and in particular with Thomson since almost day 1. Consequently I have seen every variation on napkin folding, ice carving and cocktail making demonstrations that's there is to see.:)

 

If you were the cruise director on a Thomson ship what new entertainment / pool side demonstrations would you introduce to keep things fresh?

I agree - it is getting tedious now which is why we avoid Lido deck when it is busy!!

Personally, I'd just like to sit quietly by the pool and read my book in peace, but I guess that's not an option :rolleyes::D

 

That is why we rarely sit by the pool and prefer the promenade deck :)

I'm like Jules and Linda. I like a quiet relaxing spot too. Tried to remember what went on round pools in hotels I have stayed at and wouldn't encourage water polo, and the like. Lunch time beach BBQ's with dancing went down well though. :eek::rolleyes:

[geomagot]

definitely should bring back the lunchtime barbeques with a beach party theme (they did them on destiny once a week)

 

they do have a lunch barbeque on dream....but its just barbequed food on deck with a dreary cd on a loop

 

add more commentaries during those stunning early evening sailouts .....thoms you could capitalise on those sunsets and sell a few cocktails ;)

 

organised treasure hunts ashore....v popular with families in resorts

and

 

I am still mourning the loss of the captains dance on island escape....ahh, those were the days....when the the staff crew were around and about meeting and mingling most days:cool:

 

on our last cruise the captain didn’t even turn up for his own gala reception:confused::(

Or hunt the spare sunbed

[geomagot]

there are some exciting new activities available on some thoms ships

 

sunbed timing....everytime someone leaves a sunbed 32 wrists go up to check the 45 minute rule

 

join a conga by the bar......or are they just queues?

 

join the thoms (elbow) version of the birdy dance at the (late morning breakfast) buffet

 

become an x factoresque judge in one of the pay per view boothes in the dream showlounge

 

run a marathon on the dream looking for the blakes/horizons/sky bar

 

play eye spy something begining with balcony........that wont take long

 

:D

See how opinions differ - we thought the choice of music was absolutely dire - having expected a party time type repertoire like on other cruises.

 

 

I hope Thomsons ain't gonna go all classical and cultural on us !!!
