First time Thomson cruisers and somewhat disappointed with the overall ship. Cabin staff (Chris & Natalya) very good, I arrived on board on my birthday and the towel art & birthday greeting were much appreciated.
No tea/coffee making facilities in cabin and safe had to be paid for!! Mattress didn't fit the bed base properly but this did not detract from a good night's sleep. Toilet/shower area left a lot to be desired.
Buffet area a bit of a disaster - no trays and not enough room to accommodate the masses who gathered there and tables not cleared once vacated!! Service in Seven Seas & Four Seasons much more organised with Four Seasons staff being absolutely brilliant, food choice was excellent and very tasty with a bit of cabaret thrown in for good measure!!!
Booked outside plus cabin (627)with picture window in middle of ship at a cost of £39 to pre-book but had a similar cabin (703) towards front of ship and had a refund but it was ok. Wardrobe & bathroom space a bit limited, mattress didn't fit bed base but bed was comfortable. Brown water came out of taps one morning, cabin steward said it could be 'rust', it was sorted out during the day.
