Compared to Cunard, P&O, RCI, Voyager: Liked: Open dining, any time from 18.15 to 22.00, sharing a table to meet new people or on your own. More flexible to choose early or late shows, depending on daytime activities..and being stuck with dinner partners you do not like!
No noisy Tannoy, no advertising, no auctions. Different lounges with different music/entertainment to suit all types and ages. Lots of destination information to help non-excursion buyers enjoy ports. Great idea of transport only when local transport was difficult/unreliable. Excellent cruise director and entertainment. Cabin surprisingly spacious with tea and coffee making facility. Plenty hangers.
Also liked the gratuities being included...no extra on drinks etc., though we did tip our cabin stewardess and others small amounts for excellent service. Very friendly and helpful staff.
Thomson Dream 7175, inside. Very spacious, plenty hangers, and quiet. Tea and coffee facilities. Flat screen TV End of corridor opened to big deck (covered) with seating and easy way up to back sun deck.
