we did a coach tour of sardinia.that was nice and took you to places you wouldnt have gone on your own......an organised trip to pompeii and vesuvious well worth the money.we went to rome and paid£38 each for the coach there and back but did the sights on our own but i would say do that on the train by yourselves.the train station is near where you dock and the fare to rome is only 10 euros...once you get to rome you can find hop-on/hop/off buses which take you to near the main sights for 16 euros but be warned when you get to one sight the others are quite close by so you maybe not even need the bus unless you want to do the tour round then decide where you want to see, in corsica and menorca we just got off the boat and walked into the towns ourselves browsed the shops and had lunch etc there was plenty to see and do for no money! the only other thing i would say that if you want to go to the vatican in rome.....do an organised trip because the queues to get in are horrendous maybe 2 hours queuing and on the organised they get you in quicker......we didnt have time but did see the trevi fountain and the spanish steps and walked the via del condotti(the designer street) which was lovely.we decided you need about 4/5 days to do rome justice so will go back later this year for a long weekend.there is a free trip in palma on the last day but this entails sitting through a leacture on beds at a factory..which lasts about 2 hours!!!!!!!!!! not for the faint hearted! hope this help but please ask me again on anything you`re not sure about...........oh yes and have a wonderful time..i`m so jealous i wish i could do it all again xx

Sory to disagree, I saild on the old Arcadia, the entetainment was hit and miss in comparison with other cruise lines. A tribute to Queen was scheduled for 01:00 when we were docking the following day with trips scheduled to depart at 08:00 The staff were sullen in comparison with other lines that we have cruised with. My wife and I have crui se with Thomson twice and can find no fault with them. We have also cruised with Celebrity, Fred Olsen, Royal Caribbean

hiya you must cruise top notch cruisers some times these cruisers do island as well you see you sometimes get better service on island cruises you just have to read this site .so im afraid all classy cruises have problems and complaints as well

we certainly didnt expect this to be a 5* cruise you get what you pay for..............and we got total value for money.yes the ship is old yes it could do with a lick of paint but with what they had the crew certainly kept everywhere spotless. we were`nt expecting 5* food and we were very happy with what was on offer there was plenty of choice and i never ever once got cold food unless i went to the cold buffet. for a budget cruise this was spot on.we are going on the oasis of the seas in january and yes we will expect perfection...thats what we`re paying all that money for. The drinks were very reasonable in price and we were quite happy with the all-inclusive selection.however if we did want something else we paid the price ...........again we all have the choice.

This is utter cojones (that's Spanish for round spherical things). Why denigrate someone's honest revue with your prejudices. I notice you don't mention the rip off drinks prices on the lines you mention nor their "nickel amd diming", as the Americans would say. The reviewer enjoyed their cruise and that's all we need to know. Your comments add nothing.

Actually, I think I was adding some substance to the concept of a "Professional Moaner". Like I said, it depends on the reason you're going. I merely stated that someone whoe has cruised with other, premium lines will notice the differences BUT they should have known the difference by looking at the brochures! Next time I'll keep my words simple.

i would hardly call the drinks prices a rip off.........you can`t expect top brands for pennies
