Hi

 

Just booked b2b cruise on Discovery around the caribbean starting 9th April 2017. Been looking for the right cruise for a couple of years and I am so happy that everything finally fell together right.:D

Hubby and I have booked the Thomson Discovery cruise for 19.3.2017 to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary later that year. We are doing the paradise islands and seven shores trips. Really excited. Anyone else doing this?

We are going on a back to back on the 2nd of July. Looking forward to seeing the newer ship.

Not meaning to boost this thread, but I paid our final balance yesterday, so we are going! Nearly cancelled though. Getting into the mind set of looking forward to a Thomson cruise! Hope there will be loads of people like our previous cruises - friendly and fun! Also, it's our golden wedding anniversary.

First time Thomson cruiser here also. Loved Splendour with RCI so have taken a chance and booked Discovery for the caribbean on 9th April 2017.

 

We've had grand suites on Royal, but the perks don't seem very good with Thomson so we've booked an aft junior suite as the services seem just the same and an awful lot cheaper than the grand suites. I sounds great not to have to worry about collecting your cases from the airport and having them taken direct to the cabin.

 

A bit nervous about sailing with a new cruise line but lots of you on here seem to love Thomson so am hoping we will too.

Glad you came along! I have also booked a JS as its our 50th anniversary. I have just asked on the RC board if there are any JS that should be avoided because of obstructed view, noise etc. You wouldn't happen to know would you? Thanks S2B

Hi Shottobits, Thanks for the welcome. All the Junior Suites are on Deck 8 at the moment so nothing to obstruct the view from any of them. I hope Thomson don't change the layout but it may be worth checking. The aft junior suites have larger balconies than the others but all are well positioned. HTH

It is unlikely that anything major will be done in the pre Thomson refit. They will downsize the casino and remove the separate diamond/concierge lounges plus change venue names and 'brand' the ship.

Thanks davecttr and cariad1000, useful info.

[Jackamama]

Apart from me?

 

 

Yes, just booked this week for the July 16th sailing :)

 

Really looking forward to seeing what Thomson have done to the ship as I have sailed on her when she was With Royal Caribbean.

[verynervous]

I am travelling alone on 22nd. October, flying from Manchester to Palma.

I have never had a holiday with Thompson before,so I am a little apprehensive as every travel company is different.

[fairygran]

We're booked to go 25th June, Highlights of the Med. Really looking forward to it.

[shot2bits]

No need to be apprehensive. Thomson normally handle the flights/ transfers and check in well. They have plenty of practice!

 

When the flight gets to Palma you collect your case from the luggage claim. If I remember rightly luggage claim is a long way from the arrival gate. Then you seek out the Thomson staff either in or outside departures. You should get advice on the plane about this. At this stage you might get your cabin number labels, stick 'em on the case and get it loaded onto the coach. then off you go :)

 

Thomson are pretty good for solo cruisers. Discovery appears to have the single cabins in nice quiet locations well away from the engines. They should have a social hostess or maybe a host who looks after solo cruisers. There should be coffee get togethers etc and maybe even hosted meals. I have had hosted breakfast, lunches and dinner on previous cruises.

Yes have just booked for Sep next year and would you believe it all rear cabins booked:eek:

[davecttr]

Oops I meant arrivals not departures :o
