Thomson celebration jan 31st -- feb 7th
Although a cruise virgin & nothing to compare with except for hotel holidays I can only say it was exceptional from start to finish.
Everything neatly planned by Thomson's at arrival in the airport to transfer to ship. A warm welcome with a band playing & drinks offered. Even our departure was fully planned -- we were not flying until 8pm but Thomson's gave us the option of a further excursion in sharm or to stay on the ship until 6pm when the coach left. They also provided a complimentary room for half hr sessions to get showered/changed before we departed ship (you have to give up your room at 9am)
room 854 deck 1/2 outside cabin - lowest deck possible (below blue line on ship) looking up at gangway. - ample space with enough storage for two & cases stored under beds. - not quite finished upgrading rooms (due to be completed in may for platinum status) so no tea making facilities as yet. room server it purpose as you were not in it that much. no complaints.
