We sailed on the Thompson Spirit from the 5th till the 12th of August, starting in Corfu going round the eastern med and then the Greek islands. The ports of call were wonderful, this was the main reason for booking with Thomson and we did the majority of the ports ourselves the only organised tours we did was Athens on your own, this was basically a 15 min trip on a coach which cost us £18 each. This can be done much cheaper on your own.

Having cruised with P & O previously, which was excellent, the Thompson Spirit is of no comparison.

We had an outside room, our room was large, very tired and in need of a full makeover and update. The porthole was very small. There was no fridge in the room. Room service was available but at an extra charge. There is a key safe in the room which was charged at £15 for the week. I did not see the need for this charge by all means take a deposit for the key but this should then be refunded when the key is returned. Read more
