It was with a little trepidation that we set off on the 26th June on our cruise aboard Thomson Spirit, on the plus side we found the service excellant and the staff´s attitude was the best we had come across nothing was too much trouble and everything was dealt with promptly. The entertainment was also the best we had come across something for everyone and they were very good at whatever they did, as for value for money we thought it was very good indeed. The itinerary was brilliant and our second week taking in Slovinia, Croatia and Montenegro was beautiful, loved it.
The minus side was they changed the sunbeds half way through our holiday from some very nice comfortable ones with mattresses to some extremely uncomfortable beds that hit you in the back of the head every time you changed position, the food was ok but not the best I have had but was served well and always with a smile. To sum up if you are looking for 5 star this is not the cruise for you, but if you want good value for money at reasonable cost Thomson´s is for you, all in all you get what you pay for.

the Spirit is only sold as 3 star so i would say it amply exceeds its supposed rating
