Afer using cruisecritic forums and trip advisor for months ahead, there were no real surprises.
Embarkation and disembarkation quick and efficiently handled by Thomson.
The ship, Celebration, was as most people say - dated and in need of a refurb but very clean, service very good, activities suitable for most people most days. One real gripe we had was the the thin,old towels in the bathroom and the old lumpy pillows - all needed to be thrown out.
Cabin 138 on deck 7
Large cabin with plenty of wardrobe space and dressing table and drawers, 2 small armchairs and small table. Double bed was 2 beds put together but good size. Pillows awful. Two large windows (cant be opened) that looked out to sea with lifeboat above but didn't obscure any view.
Bathroom needs refurbishing - shower over bath with curtain, Loo and sink area all kept as clean as possible.
Quiet situation with little noise or vibration and away from lifts.
