Dizzyfitz Posted February 23, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 23, 2014 OK I've just read on the FB page that on the Thomson Dream they allowed people into the MDR in football shirts and shorts, please tell me this isn't so? Also on the next night they let people in the MDR in tracksuits. :mad: Is Thomson's turning into McDonald's or are the government paying too much out in benefits? Sorry, but I hope the post was a windup. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojo67 Posted February 23, 2014 #2 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I don't think it's anything to do with standards dropping! When we were on Dream in 2010 they allowed men in football shirts into the MDR. We also saw jeans in there on formal evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Majesty in June on the first formal night there was a man in jeans and check shirt guess that's how it goes now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now Thompson are moving into this so called platinum optional VIP mode you may get more people showing this sort of attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wacktle Posted February 24, 2014 #7 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Can't say that we noticed any of this most people were really well dressed I agree. I didn't notice anyone inappropriately dressed in the MDR in the evening on our January cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzyfitz Posted February 24, 2014 Author #9 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Sorry about the benefits bit, I was having a really bad day and yes it wasn't called for.

Midsomer Madness Posted February 25, 2014 #21 Share Posted February 25, 2014 It was probably my post you read on Facebook. We returned yesterday from 14 days on the Dream and had a fabulous time, but the standard of dress in the evening left a lot to be desired..there were football shirts, shorts, tracksuits, hot pants, and vests on show in the Orion, also the latest trend is for middle aged men to not wear socks? Men in flip flops were also frequent sights. Thomson state that they expect men to wear long trousers and a shirt/polo shirt in the main restaurant..well they certainly don't enforce it. Did it ruin our cruise? Of course not, if people want to look scruffy it's entirely up,to them, personally I have more respect for myself and the crew than to turn up to dinner dressed like that. There were a few niggles overall but nothing to detract from the great time we had...some surly bar staff in certain areas, having to get up at silly o'clock in order to get a sunbed on sea days, the main band were far too loud, had no personality and a very limited set, and a few members of the entertainment team who obviously think they are far more important than they are, looking down their noses at passengers who ultimately pay their wages. The good points were the fabulous waiters who served us and kept us entertained, Neil and Carlos in the deck 10 outside bar (where the smokers go) and the brilliant trio of musicians who popped up all over the ship..brilliant ports of call and of course the lovely weather.. We will probably do another Thomson cruise, but more than likely it would be for 7 nights rather than 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geomagot Posted February 25, 2014 #22 Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) oooo hot pants! ;) (thumbup) :cool:....opps...sorry:o I'm guessing/hoping the weather was lovely/hot/sunnyblazing (hence the no socks)?

Midsomer Madness Posted February 25, 2014 #23 Share Posted February 25, 2014 It was dinner in the Orion restaurant, air conditioning on, why some weren't wearing socks is beyond me, but they certainly looked rather odd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
