Decent enough ship, good food, poor entertainment and poor ports

I chose this cruise as I have cruised with Thomson twice previously in the Med and quite enjoyed it. This time I fancied seeing some of the Caribbean.

I must admit I didn't research the ports of call much as this cruise was the only one that matched my availability, that was probably a mistake. some of them were very dumpy and they were all geared up to milk you for as much money as possible.

The ship was quite nice, seemed pretty spacious and very nicely refurbished in the public areas but as others have said the cabins are still a bit dated although they are very clean and fully functional.

Cabin Review

Cabin Junior Suite

Not really fit for 3 adults and a teenager as beds are doubles not a double and 2 singles. Good job both my children are girls. Balcony was nice and roomy Bathroom was nice , shower was fantastic. Lots of storage. Beware that ALL the rooms on deck 8 at the back of the ship are below the adult sunbed area. This is no problem during the day but at night (about 3am usually) the staff move all the furniture about about and it makes a fair old racket, I did complain to Reception but nothing changed. Also beware that Junior Suites aren't allowed to use the Concierge facility so no free wi-fi . Cabin Steward (Amertio) was excellent
