No UK departures from the south.

We have been on 2 cruises from Harwich and 1from Southampton, they were so convenient for us living in Essex. We are celebrating our 25th this June and because there are no sailings from those ports with Thompson's we have booked with another line,unfortunately the wife can't fly now, previous we had done 12, cruises with them and loved them, but it's their loss and another companies gain.

That's a shame. I wonder if there's too much competition for them to consider the South East - Harwich/Southampton/Dover/Tilbury and Newcastle is pretty well placed for Scotland and the north.

CMV and Fred. Olsen seem to do really well out of Newcastle. Exciting to Thomson back just a shame it's not the ship that we would want. Maybe if it does well they'll consider other UK ports later on.
