Sail Date: Jul 2011

We sailed on the Thompson Spirit from the 1st of July to the 15th July on a back to back cruise, starting in Corfu going round the eastern med and then the Greek islands. The ports of call were wonderful, and as we did many of them by ourselves and not on an organised tour, we found it far more adventurous and less costly. We did do the Island tour in Dubrovnik which is good, and decided to do the water park in Kusasasi in Turkey as it was searing hot and so the best choice for that day it was great to be able to go in a lifesize pool that was clean....

Thats the good part, and although we did have a very good holiday, it was marred by the fact we had paid for 5 star service and got 2 star if that. Having been on the Royal Carribean Cruise ship which was 5 star all the way, the Thompson Spirit is like sailing in a tin bath in comparison. I wish I had read the reviews before I booked.

We had upgraded to the top deck with an outside view, and although the room was large it was very tired and in need of a full makeover and update, we had ripped sheets with stains on them, and the toilets were a law unto themselves as was the shower, the plumbling was definitely not the best. The walls are paper thin and you can hear everything from either side of you.
