My partner and i went to Thompsons Travel Agency looking for a last minute break (we needed to depart 10 days later). We were open minded, so when the assistant suggested a cruise, we thought why not.....
Well, here's why not. We were informed that once we checked in our luggage at Birmingham airport, we would next see it in our cabin. We arrived at Palma airport and wondered why there were nore ps to meet us. We saw an exit sign so went out of the termnal. When we finally found a rep, we were told to go back into the terminal to find our luggage, along with a telling off from the airport staff!
We proceeded onto the boat. From the moment we stepped on, we were so disappointed by the shabby state of the ship. It got no better when we entered our cabin. We had paid for an upgrade to a cabin with a window on an upper deck. It was so small and desperately old. The bed was uncomfortable with bullet hard pillows. It was impossible for two of you to be in the same place at one time! The shower and toilet area were small (i was pleased with the shower pressure however). I feel we were lucky to be placed midway along the corridor, as I would imagine that being closer to the Sundowner bar would have been noisy at night.
Small, shabby, hard bed and bullet hard pillows. You could hardly see through the window. The shower room was small too (only one person in at a time),. The shower pressure was good though.
