Thomson Majesty 1st time cruise

[WeeCountyMan]

Thanks, yes it is and very excited, but there are a lit if negative reviews on other sites, not that I really take much notice. We are doing the Mediterranean Medley. Any helpful info would be great thanks.

 

1. Ignore the negative reviews.

 

2. If you like a G&T (or whatever) in your cabin you'll not be able to buy a bottle onboard as the duty free shop can't open on this itinerary.

 

See my observations on "Bringing Alcohol On Board" thread hereabouts.

 

No duty free on flight, so source locally in Palma - or stash a bottle in your main hold luggage prior to departing UK.

Hi, thank you for your tips, not really drinkers so not a problem there, how come they can't open the duty free?

Also did you notice in the Morning, tables for 2?

Thank you

how come they can't open the duty free?

 

All ports of call are within the EU.

 

The reason why Gibraltar is a stop for nearly all western Med cruises is to include a non EU port of call to allow the duty free shop to open.

 

Same with American cruise lines sailing from US locations - a visit to a Mexican port does the same for them.

 

Didn't see tables for 2 in the main dining room at breakfast - all sixes. We went self service buffet in the MDR - maybe tables for 2 in the waiter serve area ?

Oh I see, thanks. Was meant to say the MDR, not morning.
