We had been told by others who were experienced cruise holidaymakers that a cruise holiday should be experienced, we booked about a month before departing and got a good price.
Flight over - Thomson chartered a jet from Skywings, piloted by a Canadian with an Irish crew. Comfortable (paid for extra leg room) and a nice flight.
Upon arrival, a bit of confusion as to where to meet the Thomson reps. It was actually a helpful hire car rep who told us that they were outside. Went outside, got directed to a bus that wasn't actually open yet, so stood about for a while. On the coach, got handed small medical questionnaires to complete - but no pens as such.
Little small, if you push the twin beds together there is a little climbing about to be done. The crew make amusing little animals out of the towels, which bring a smile at the end of the day.
