Our first cruise. What a
fantastic experience.
Perhaps we were looking
at it through rose
coloured spectacles, who
knows? Does it matter? We
enjoyed ourselves
anyway.
We drove down to
Southampton the night
before and stayed in the
Travelodge, possibly...
We enjoyed our week's
cruise of the western
Mediterranean after the
initial boarding
experience at
Civitavecchia. There
were hundreds of people
queuing to board - many
of which had not
completed the health
questionnaires and so
slowed down the whole
process...
just returned from a two
week med cruise on the
grand,very good weather
and a tan to die for!!

cruise last year and the
hot tubs are still

Although Grand Princess
isn't a sparkling new
ship it still has a lot
to offer. A balcony cabin

luggage arrived with

highlight; we did a great
river cruise, followed...
We went as first time
cruisers on the Thomson
Dream for 1 week and flew
from Manchester. We were
led to believe that this
was a brand new ship,
however it is a new ship
to the Thomson fleet but
it is 25 years old! The
arrangements at the
airport were dreadful...
Sailed end of august from
Venice, excellent cruise.
We had a suite on 8th
floor, very spacious and
great views, the balcony
was great. Staff very
friendly and helpful

We did my time dining
which I would highly
recommend...
I would like to let
people know about the
cabins on Marina Deck on
Black Watch, we were in
Cabin 3106, and for the 5
nights we were on board,
only had sleep on one
night, when docked at
Rouen, because of the
horrendous engine noise...
