Not having cruised with Thomson for quite some time we booked a cruise on TUI Discovery because we had sailed on one of RCI’s Vision Class ships, Legend of the Seas, in the past and loved it. The Discovery was the sister ship Splendour of the Seas, until recently a very popular part of the RCI fleet, but clearly deposed by the new megaships.
Thomson (TUI) have really set the bar high with this acquisition. The ship is stunning in superb condition, obviously TUI have made some serious investment. Everywhere from external paintwork to cabins, theatres, and restaurants, the décor standard is high.
The magnificent Atrium with its glass lifts and reaching up to Deck 8 is breathtaking. A great centrepiece for the ship.
Very comfortable with excellent large double bed. Nice bedside lighting. Storage facilities adequate, plenty of hanging space but drawers a bit limited. Good shower in bathroom but with curtain. Flat screen TV on wall. Tea and coffee topped up daily. Safe in wardrobe. Kept very clean by discreet steward. Soundproofing excellent.
