We joined two cruises together starting in Barbados, Caribbean Treasures and Latin gems, great flight on Dreamliner so comfortable and great cabin staff. On arrival in Barbados we transferred straight to the ship so transfer time was kept to the minimum even check in at dock side went smoothly with cooled drinks offered to passengers. On board we went straight to our cabin on deck 2 number 701, had a good look round seems ok, took beach towels and went to find a spot to relax.

We had taken up Thomson trips and booked on line before departure and only one was cancelled, unfortunately the one my husband most wanted to go on, the train from St Kitts but it was out of action, so out of Thomson's control.
