Although we have done a few cruises, in the past, we are not dedicated cruisers, we usually prefer to holiday in the Greek Islands, in traditional surroundings with local places of interest to visit. However we last cruised with Royal Caribbean, 2 years ago, and my husband was keen to try another cruise. I wasn't so keen, so we opted for a cruise and stay holiday in Corfu, which seemed the best of both worlds.We had never been on a Thomson cruise before although booked holidays with them many times over the years
We booked the holiday in April 2011, so qualified for the AI drinks package, which was nice, but after booking I started to read the reviews about the Destiny and was not filled with joy, so when Thomson changed ships, I was not really bothered, as it didn't seem that I would be missing much. We had pre booked a cabin on Destiny and had no trouble transferring to a similar outside Plus cabin on Deck 4.
EMBARKATION
Cabin 439 was quiet, bigger than expected, with plain functional decor. When the air conditioning was repaired after 24 hours, it was comfortable but certainly had nothing special about it. The bathroom was small but everything was in good working order. There was a single and double wardrobe space and plenty of drawers, a good choice and if I returned I would not hesitate to pick this cabin again
