This was the first time that my husband and I have used the Dream. Having read previous reviews on this ship we were slightly anxious regarding some of the statements made. We flew to Bridgetown on a First Choice plane which had seen better days. Very well worn. Leaflet pocket could not be used as literature just fell straight through. The choice of meals were either chicken or beef but by the time the last 5 or 6 rows on left of plane were served we were dumped with chicken and told in no uncertain terms thats all they had left as too many people had requested the beef. It may seem petty but having paid the same proportion of money for the flight we should all have had the same choice.

On board the Dream it looked quite luxurious and did appear to have had a refit. Very pleasantly surprised by cabin. We had a very pleasant young man who attended to our every cabin need. We had paid for the drinks package as we usually do on all our other Thomson cruises but there seemed to a lot of supplements to be paid which were never applicable before. Normally cans of soft drinks were included in drinks package but 95 pence supplements were charged. You could however get a glass of pop on the package. Canned and bottled beers had supplements to pay as well. I don't know if this is a new policy?

I would think twice about taking drinks package deal in the future as with so many supplements on a variety of drinks you might as well pay the full amount. The drinks waiters were extremely slow in serving and seemed to be unwilling to accept any orders. We observed a lot of impatient people trying to attract waiters attention.(Most unusual for a Thomson ship) Read more
