Emped

Hi to all those cruisers just returned from Celebration

Am getting a bit freaked out with paranoia, about excess luggage!

We're going next Monday 9 June, would I need to take a cardie/wrap for on deck in the evenings?

Sorry, a very trivial question I know!

But thanks for reading

Regards

Hi Dronnygirl

Thanks for your fantastic, informative post.

We visit Ashdod 12/13 June, on Celebration. Also going on Jerusalem/Bethleham tour with guidedtoursisrael, on June 13, so it was great to hear that you had a good time with them, especially as we paid up front

Really looking forward to our cruise now.

Thanks again

Regards

Thanks for taking the time to reply

Wasn't sure if plugs would have changed after refurb.

Booked to go on Celebration on 9-23 June.

Finding luggage allowance restrictive, as I'm sure other ladies can appreciate!

Can anyone advise me on the laundrettes on board? Are they worth using, is there a charge, do I need to bring own washing gel etc. If it's OK, I can bring less t-shirts etc

Also, what are the plugs in the cabins? I've read Continental/US, is this still the same? Also how many plugs are there? Would I need to bring 2 way adaptor for extra plug

Sorry about all the above questions, but many thanks in advance!

Thank you both for your replies.

Think Ill take my own!

We HAVE booked Cabin 696 yesterday, so hope that will be relatively noise and vibration free!

Thanks again, as a first timer with Thomson, I'm starting from scratch!!

Many thanks to both of you for info etc

I DO have some mobility issues, able to walk for around 90mins, which is very restricting. Hoho bus is probably a great bet, why didn't I think of that!!

Am looking forward to seeing Bazaar and Hagia Sophia.

Thanks again, much appreciated

Hi

Our first cruise with Thomson, previously with P&O and RCI

Are toiletries provided, ie body lotion, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel etc, as they are with P&O? If so, are they a recognised brand?

As weight is an issue with flying, I don't want to bring my own if unnecessary.

We are in outside cabin, Deck 2

Thank you

Hi

Posted this on Roll call too, but am not sure if that is correct.

Does anyone who has previously visited Istanbul or anybody on this cruise, know of an excursion company, other than the ship, offering Istanbul tours?

Thank you
