After reading previous reviews on here I was a bit apprehensive about returning to the dream for what would be our fifth cruise with thomsons.However i neednt have been,Once again we had a fab time and will definately be cruising with Thomsons again next year.No issues with the flights, outbound was on time return landed 1 hour early,bit of a delay on boarding the ship but with 2 Manchester flights landing at the same time only to be expected.Room was clean and kept that way for the 2 weeks we were there, never had dirty bedding or towels and these were changed regularly.Food was great though we did eat at the hotplate twice which was fantastic and well worth the money, but that was our choice.Couple of ports that the cruise ship couldnt get in due to weather but Santa Marta was definately an experience took an independant trip that cost £50 dollars and enjoyed seeing how the non tourist place lived.Didnt mind not staying in Falmouth as I had stayed here a few years ago and it gave us chance to go to 9 mile (where Bob Marley was born and buried) once again just took a taxi no issues at all with the locals and at least we didnt have to rush back.Did the trip on the panama canal (had booked this trip in England before we went) wasnt to impressed a bit boring really, in fact my little boy spent all his time giving out soft drinks on the boat to fellow passengers.Probably boring as we have a narrow boat in England and have done thousand of locks, though not as big as the ones there, but they all work on the same principle,but at least we can now say we have done it.Cartegena was my favourite place just wish we could have have spent longer there.Entertainment on the ship was sufficent for me and my husband, 26 year old son and 10 year old boy. 10 year old loved the kids club and the 26 year old loved all the different quizzes.Me and my husband just loved watching everything going on.Entertainers, Jake Cheryl and Adam were great fun and really got into the heart of things.All in all we all had a great holiday, 10 year old cried when we had to go home so counting down the days to our next holiday.Just like to thank Gary Fowler who always made sure we had drinks without any fuss.
