We recently took our first cruise on the Thompson Dream taking the Mediteranean Medley Itineray. We had read the bad reviews on the ship but where assured by our rep at Thomas Cook that all was now resolved.

We flew out to Palma on the 23rd July with only a 15 minute delay, all was fine on the flight except for a fellow who hasd drunk too much and was threatening to smash his sons face in. Transfer from the airport was smooth as was embarkation, didnt like the lack opf information given on entering the ship though it was a case that you where ushered to your room after being supplied with the boarding pass. The ship sailed late due to 2 flights which had horrendous delays and after all that I believe 40 people got left at the airport hotel and joined us 2 days later.

Day 1 was a nightmare, hit a really bad storm in the Med with force 11 gale, made me n the misses sick as a dog and wondering if we had done the right thing, after taking advice we went up on deck and where fine after that. The emergency drill was fun especially for my 16 year old daughter who hadnt heard the announcement and thought it was a major evacuation. We also found out that Peter andre and family where cruising with us and would be doing autographs etc, daughter and wife couldnt wait. The Andres where really nice people, just mingled with us all in the lifts and ashore etc.
