Fancy being a guinea pig for a badly planned and researched new Thomson itinerary and pay well over 3 and a half thousand? This is what thousands of people are being encouraged to do! Don't ... It is rubbish!
The ship isn't big enough to withstand the high seas you get here. You won't dock at two ports (except in very unusually calm seas) so you will spend 5 days on board. The captain himself said this to a party who visited the Bridge!!! San Blas.... Forget it said the bike manager! Nobody tells you this before you book and they are already booking for next year!
Good for Thomson on-board business though, no doubt. Most of you will have some sort of sea sickness and spend days in your cabin. Cycle trips are in dangerous areas and have not been researched in the last ten years so you may end up with a police escort in Colon or serious intimidation from locals even in Cartegena ( We did.)
