As always with Thomson Cruises this was an excellent cruise. We boarded the ship at Marmaris and after 1 day at sea called at a different port every day taking in various Greek and Turkish ports.
The ship is looking a bit tired but will be going for a refurbishment at the end of the season so that was to be expected. All the public areas are kept spotless. The pride and joy of all Thomson cruises is their entertainment team and this was no different, absolutely brilliant entertainment team "run by" a brilliant Cruise Director Richard Grey, I should also give a special mention to Shona & Ted who day in day out were always cheerful and had a smile and nice word for all passengers (no matter how rude or grumpy the guests were) and I know from personal experience that to walk around all day with a "plastic" smile on the face is not easy!
Reception staff were also helpful and always had answers to a variety of questions.
Considering we booked this cruise 2 weeks before departure our cabin was more than adequate, yes it was only a porthole instead of a picture window, but that was fine all we need is to see daylight when we wake up!! Yes we were on deck 1 where there was some engine noise and vibrations but there was ample storage and the cabin crew maintained our room to a very high standard - albeit I think the towels have seen better days!
