Expectation is the key to satisfaction (or not!) of the Thomson Dream. If you are hoping for a modern high-tech ship with a glitzy huge glass and marble atrium, then this boat is not for you. It doesn’t even have balconies! However, if you are looking for a smallish, homely style ship with a crew that thinks of itself as a family, then you have chosen well!
We chose this particular cruise simply because of the itinerary. We visited 6 islands in 7 days where other cruises had more days at sea.
Our cruise experience was very well organised from the minute we boarded the plane to Barbados. We didn’t see our luggage again until it arrived outside our cabin. Our embarkation and disembarkation was much quicker and easier than we have experienced before with previous cruise lines.
