Me and my husband did the Adriatic Explorer cruise a couple of years and enjoyed it so much we decided to do it again. We were not disappointed as everything was fabulous and we had a brilliant week - flight, embarkation all went very smoothly. Cabin - 462 - was rather small, next time we'd go for an outside plus on same deck, it was kept immaculately clean, no bad smells as others have reported. In the evenings we ate in either the Seven Seas or Four Seasons restaurants, preferred the smaller Four Seasons overall. Captains night was great, can't understand the number of people who say they don't like it, it's one of the highlights! Variety of food was fantastic, surely anyone complaining must be very fussy as something for every taste. The entertainment team are brilliant, putting on a different fabulous show every night, best were Africa and the West End Shows but all were great. Loved Kirsty the pianist in Rendezvous Bar, and late night dancing in Frame 52. I could go on and on. If anyone reads these reviews before deciding on their first Thomsons cruise please ignore the negative ones. This was our 5th Thomsons cruise and certainly not our last, looking forward to the new Discovery. Oh, quick word about excursions, we're not keen on coach tours but did a great boat tour in Dubrovnik and a bike tour in Split. All the ports in this cruise were lovely, Kotor was amazing, and Venice, so easy to just go ashore and do your own thing.
