CRUISIN LINDA Posted May 21, 2015 #30 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Sum interezting punkchewasion, spellung and grammur abowt hear !!! Ha ha :D :D Returning to the subject of food, the only time we have not had good food on Thomson was on the Dream in 2013, when the food was not cooked properly and as I have said (many times :o:o) may have contributed to the illness onboard. I don't mind good plain cooking, but object to it being undercooked. Compared to the food on Fred last year - well no comparison :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalos Posted May 22, 2015 #39 Share Posted May 22, 2015 As Jules and Linda have said ,Fred's food is far better in my opinion to be honest we even preferred P&O's & Princess food especially their buffets they were far better than Thomson's offerings but as said in an earlier post .. It's down to personal choice and taste . Now lets see if I can earn Stevie his Sixpence ... ;) No good ever came of talking to your underwear :) Or worse still .. underwear that you do not know :eek:. Don't feed them :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruzseeka Posted May 22, 2015 #40 Share Posted May 22, 2015 (edited) Off thread again....sorry but just want to say hope it's all going well kalos. If you have as good a time as we did you'll be very happy! ;) P.S. If you haven't been to Akrotiri - might be worth considering when you get back in the next day or two. And if you do go for €2 (for seniors) the Archaeological Museum in Fira has some of the reconstructed frescoes from Akrotiri (most are in Athens). You can get round in 20 minutes quite easily should you wish but they are stunning and it's absolutely amazing how they've pieced those tiny bits together. Meant so much more having visited the site already. There are also examples of the most beautifully preserved pottery. 4,000 years old! And word of warning - if you plan to do Ancient Thera it's a good strenuous half hour climb from the car park to the top of the site!!!

mtt Posted May 22, 2015 #45 Share Posted May 22, 2015 (edited) the food wasn't as good on the spirit in april, the crew still so friendly but quite a few missing, the entertainment was not up to the usual standard at all, that we have had on our previous spirit cruises,very disorganised and not a friendly ents team at all Edited May 22, 2015 by mtt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boatboy2000 Posted May 22, 2015 Author #48 Share Posted May 22, 2015 On Fred Olsen Black Watch at the moment and it has to be said that the food on here is far superior to Thomson, we have noticed a deterioration over the years,we were on the Celebration in February and the food was worse than ever, come on Thomson get your act together! Didn't have one bad meal on the whole cruise, plenty of choice and really well presented, well done Fred:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langtoncouple Posted May 23, 2015 #49 Share Posted May 23, 2015 We came of the Majesty yesterday. While we enjoyed all aspects of the cruise, I am afraid it was the food which let it down. Now in previous years we have had 4 cruises on the Dream, (2013 food so so, 2014 much improved fare and enjoyed it but the Majesty was the poorest. We breakfasted from the buffet and it was the cheapest sausages, unappetising fatty bacon, disgusting weak tasteless coffee from the machines. We ate in the Seven season restaurants but it was the wee things we noticed which let it down. Desserts came with the pure white synthetic scooshy cream, boiled potatoes did not seem fresh, even the butter was the Lakeland salted packets yet on the Dream it was lovely creamy unsalted German butter packs. I think what people say on here is that it all depends on the head chef and budgets. It may be that next time the food will be much improived.
