...not to know me. The Thomson Emerald is a fantastic looking ship, and as Jon said, she had a fabulous bottom! We walked over a red carpet then climbed about 200 steps to actually step foot on the ship, after getting our breaths back we headed over to reception. The girls behind the desk were from all over the world, Russia, Romania, Greece, Philippiens, Essex and they were lovely in their sailor uniforms, i saw my new husband take a second look ...
...and staff on board the Thomson Emerald were awoken to the news regarding the uk terroist bomb plot, all we knew was what the news on the telly was telling us, we were due to fly back the next day. The staff on board knew as much as we did, we were told to carry on as normal and we would be given the information we so desperately wanted when they knew something. I tried to carry on as normal but when a kind mannered man from London told me and Jon ... Read review

Advantages: Good quality, mid formality cruise.
Disadvantages: Some disappointment with tours

...cruise for 2006 on the Thomson Destiny are Funchal, Madeira; Agadir, Morocco; Arricife, Lanzarote; Santa Cruz De La Palma, La Palma; and returning to Funchal. I travelled on the Thomson Celebration, and departed from Santa Cruz, Tenerife, also calling at Gran Canaria. Thomson Celebration: The Celebration is a medium sized cruise ship, which I found to be well appointed and easy to find my way around. I stayed in a deluxe outside twin room, which ...
...Christmas. Festive celebrations were quite limited. Overall view: Despite one or two disappoiting aspects of my holiday, I would thoroughly recommend both the Celebration and the Colourful Coasts tour, especially if you are considering a first cruise experience. Thomson have struck an excellent balance between formal and informal. ... Read review

Advantages: Not having to pay for our Drinks on All Inclusive Option
Disadvantages: Well Everything about the Thomson Destiny

...a good review about the Thomson Destiny as it is a sad tired old ship in dire need of updating or juist retiring all together!......... The morning we arrived our cabin was clean but we wondered where the other single bed was? it was a fold down one which was in the wall! we were so disappointed we asked to be moved or upgraded and instead were told that the ship was full. Our toilet was sadly leaking urine and when we went to the toilet it leaked ...
...a welcome relief from the Thomson Destiny............. Would we go again? never on your nelly as we have just booked another cruise for 2008 this time to the Caribbean and with a company we know that we can trust and believe in, we were let down by Thomson and disgusted to think that they can get away with substandard accommodation and have no come backs from the passengers what so ever!!............ My moral of the story is if you want Butlins ... Read review

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: Nothing

We have just returned from a week's cruise on the Destiny and are writing this before we have to return to reality. We had the most wonderful time. The ship was immaculate, the service was second to none with friendly, pleasant waiters, stewards etc. Nothing was too much trouble. We had an ordinary outside cabin which was comfortable and more than adequate.The food was fantastic all the time. The entertainment was top class. The shows were extremely ...
...something for everyone on the Destiny - if you wanted a quiet refined week or a lively active one there was a wide choice of everything from eating to relaxing. The tours ashore were a little expensive but with help from Destiny's information sheets for passengers going ashore alone we had a whale of a time discovering different places in different countries using local transport. The organisation from the minute we boarded ran like clockwork. The ... Read review
