What's happened then Thompsons? Such a big difference in service and quality from our cruise from last New Year.
Two dates for embarkation 27 and 28 December We joined the ship in Gran Canaria on 28th December. Arrived late due to air traffic problems over Portugal. Transfer from airport to ship was swift and efficient. Got on board at 9.20pm and lined up to register our credit card etc, about 20 of us to check in I'd say. Apparently another flight came in even later than us. It took the one girl so long to register us all and by the time we got on deck for the lifeboat drill - it was just ending.
Cabin was good and quite big. Paid to reserve it to ensure a double bed. Bed most uncomfortable , we could feel the springs through the sheets. Cheap and nasty little shampoo, no conditioner or body lotion but we did have a sewing kit and two, yes, two, shower caps. Constantly we had to ask for sachets of coffee or sugar for our cabin. We saw no evidence of change to Platinum status except for the kettle.
