We booked this cruise last minute as a value getaway. Have previously cruised on Thomson Celebration we were expecting a similar experience on the Dream.
We didn’t get this, the Dream is not as well maintained as the Celebration, wear and tear are revealing its 32years.
Cabin - paid extra for a Plus cabin on deck 7. It was spacious but troubled by noise coming by the Explorers Lounge directly above (which has a tiled floor, the sound of chairs being dragged along the floor could wrench your teeth out!). The Reception staff ‘solve’ this issue regularly by handing out earplugs and giving you a bottle of bubbly to keep you sweet.
If you drink like a fish and sleep like the dead this could be the cabin for you...
Beatutiful promenade, great tapas, good shopping.
Walked straight into town, cable car, wicker basket, flower market, poncho. Love Funchal. Beautiful island I plan to revisit.
