joybelle Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I have just got back from my first cruise on Thomson Dream and had a fantastic time. I treated my SIL to this trip as we have both had a rough couple of years. We flew to Palma and sailed to Sicily Naples, Rome, Corsica, Barcelona and then back to Palma. We had a couple of days when the sea was rough but it wasn`t a problem for us. As neither of us had been to these places we did all the trips going. The ship was great couldn`t fault anything the food was fabulous as was the entertainment. Being in these ports was an eye opener our ship was big 1500 passengers but we saw many bigger some having 4500 passengers! What I enjoyed so much about this holiday was waking up in a different place every day, I will certainly do another cruise, just have to start saving up.

Plum Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Never fancied a cruise but you make it sound so good. You must be exhausted how long were you away for? Hope this is the start of a better time for you both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickpea Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I went on a cruise round the med in 2006, and even though I was in my early 20s, with my parents, and on an adult only ship (loads of elderly folk) I had an amazing time, like you Joybelle, I loved waking up in a different port in the mornings, will never forget opening my curtains to look out over the palm trees and blue sea of St. Tropez. *sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 So glad you had such a wonderful holiday! My Mum & Dad are booked to go to the Caribbean on The Dream next spring, so I'll pass on your great review! I'm hoping that they'll still be able to go as Mum has suffered a couple of strokes recently. They have badly affected her speech and we have been fighting to get some sort of after care or therapy to help her to recover. Nothing has been forthcoming from the NHS but that's a whole other thread!! Hopefully your fabulous holiday report will give her a boost and help her to feel as though she has something to look forward to, so thanks for posting!!

We were away for a week. and two of the trips were all day ones we had to get up at 6.00am the trip left at 8.00am,didnt get back to the ship until 6. We did so much walking during the week in a way it was nice to get home for a rest!!!! Joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
