gillhalfpint Posted December 21, 2015 #27 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I thought Oct 2016 wasn't on the website and wanted to check the 15 night transatlantic, but had to put destination as Western Med not Caribbean, and it came up. Really fancy that one, 29 October, but isn't that the bad weather season? Never done transatlantic before and fancy having a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daisyrae Posted December 27, 2015 #35 Share Posted December 27, 2015 We're booked on Discovery in September this year, a Golden Wedding celebration and a 1st Wedding Anniversary, how diverse is that, soooo looking forward to it. Cruised Thomson about 8 times now but they went off the boil, and we did Costa - a very good experience, so here's hoping Thomson are back to their usual good selves.

China doll52 Posted January 2, 2016 #36 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Apart from me? We're on her in September and there were only a few cabins left when we booked and that was months ago. You'll enjoy it I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone with any tips or in particular about suitability of port stops for wheelchair users (areas to avoids etc) would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babs02 Posted January 26, 2016 #42 Share Posted January 26, 2016 We're looking at a b2b 14 day cruise in August. Never cruised with Thomson what are there b2b like. Any advice would be great. Currently torn between this cruise and P & O Azura Not cruised on either lines before so any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davecttr Posted January 27, 2016 #44 Share Posted January 27, 2016 We're looking at a b2b 14 day cruise in August. Never cruised with Thomson what are there b2b like. Any advice would be great. Currently torn between this cruise and P & O Azura Not cruised on either lines before so any advice? On a b2b you get the extra full day in the home port and you can come and go as you please. There is no hassle of having to disembark and be reprocessed through check in. They usually have shore excursions available for changeover day as well. Do you mind flying? Do you mind sea days. For me the essential difference is the P&O ship is more modern and larger but takes a lot of sea days to get to the warm bits. On Thomson there are usually only 2 sea days in a 14 nighter. Thomson is more casual as well with the one weekly formal night dress code only applying to the main dining room. On P&O the code will apply to the main dining room and some of the bars and speciality restaurants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think definitely Rome Express is getting booked... but not sure of others. Can they be done quite easily on your own?? thanks... Looking at your itinerary, I can only comment on Livorno. We went there last year on a Celebrity cruise. We did an excursion which took in Pisa and Florence. I don't know what excursions Thomson do, but I would recommend this one if they do it. Hopefully, like us you would go to Pisa first, early, before the crowds descend. It was fantastic to see the leaning tower etc. Florence was beautiful and personally, I preferred it to Rome, but that's just me I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
