Rare Eglesbrech Posted October 28, 2013 #1 Share Posted October 28, 2013 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!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUISIN LINDA Posted October 29, 2013 #3 Share Posted October 29, 2013 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 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakanne1 Posted October 29, 2013 #4 Share Posted October 29, 2013 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geomagot Posted October 29, 2013 #5 Share Posted October 29, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeeCountyMan Posted October 29, 2013 #11 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I loved the classical sailaway from Malta on our recent Spirit cruise . 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 !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
