5 of us settled for this cruise as the itinerary appealed to us all. 12 stops in 14 nights. Flight from Doncaster just over 2 hours and transfer only 15-25 minutes. Throughout the cruise the food and waiter service in the 7 seas restaurant was outstanding. Abdul the maitre d is a great man who oversees everything and everyone. Our main waiter was Matt , a lovely man from the Phillippines, assisted by Wayan and Richard, our wine waiter. All staff were polite and hard working, with special mention to Elizabeth and Manoj at breakfast, plus Gabriel and Beckham in the buffet restaurant. The show team worked hard every evening to produce excellently themed shows. Muzzik Unlimited were the resident band and they also put on a different show each night. Cruise director Paul Evans did his best to keep everything together throughout the ship. However large groups of dare I say , Welsh and Scottish adults chose to sit and talk whilst the shows were on. One lot even sat with their backs to the stage chattering. This ruined evenings for ourselves and lots of other people. It's this lack of respect for the entertainers which ruined our evenings and has seriously put a doubt in our minds regarding booking another Thomson cruise. It's got to that stage.
