We chose this cruise for the itinerary (2 weeks to cover Southern Caribbean plus Cuba and Mexico on the second week). We had a wonderful time. The ship was smaller than others we have been on, but we couldn't fault it. Yes, it was an older ship, but beautifully maintained, clean, comfortable, very friendly staff, biggest cabin we have ever had, excellent food, always fresh and plenty of it, and the hot food hot! The Show Team who provided entertainment on stage every evening were fantastic, all of them so talented. Embarkation and disembarkation were efficiently run and there were lots of interesting places to visit. We thoroughly enjoyed seeing Havana. As, expected, on sea days it proved more difficult to find sunbeds exactly where you would choose, but that was a minor problem, and there were plenty of other things to do,

Unlike othe cruise companies, Thomson don't add tips to your bill.

So if you are thinking of booking this cruise, don't worry about negative comments, as we read them, we wonder if these passengers were on the same ship! Read more
