Great holiday so much better than expected. This was our first cruise with Thomson's and we were not disappointed. The weather was in the 30's, the only time we needed a cardigan/jacket was in Petra when it can be a bit chilly in the shade.

We left from our local airport, the plane was new and we felt had more leg room, we knew there would be no entertainment on board so accounted for this. I would advise purchasing food at the airport for the plane journey, as food on the plane is not good, little choice and dried up. Once at the Sharm airport we didn't encounter any problems we had reps to greet us and were on a coach quickly to take us the 30 min trip to the ship. Checking in was easy and we paid the extra 15 for a safe. The ship is cashless, everything goes onto your account which you can settle by credit card, cash or debit card. Credit card incurs a surcharge.

The ship is fairly small but very friendly and welcoming from the Captain down. The crew couldn't be more helpful and kept the ship spotless. Read more
