We have just returned from an absolutely fantastic holiday where we spent 14 days cruising around some Caribbean Islands aboard the Thomson Dream. I will say at the outset, that when we first embarked on the holiday we went with some worries after having read some awful reviews that had been posted on the days prior to our holiday starting. Let me say, I can only think the reviewers were actually on another ship and for those of you who have booked the Dream, go with an open mind because you too will have a memorable holiday and have nothing at all to worry about. Over many years now, we have stayed in top 4 and 5 star hotels in Europe, the Caribbean and Africa, had only a couple of cruises before (including Thomson), but expect value for money and good service, so hopefully this review is balanced and fair.
I will first get the negatives out of the way, as they are few and will take no time at all:
All inclusive drinks package….don’t bother. It is way too expensive. We did not stint on our drinks and had exactly what we wanted. We are normal holiday drinkers and our drinks bill was only around half the cost we would have spent on the package. Bar prices are reasonable. If you take out the package, to use your allowance would mean you would have to be pretty ill for the duration and would no doubt miss part of your holiday!
