Thomson Destiny

We have just had the most enjoyable holiday on the thompson destiny ship. the staff are all very friendly very helpfull and always smiling. The itinery was good but we went to british virgin isle twice which really once you have been you dont want to go again, but maybe this was because it was a back to back itinery.The shows were really good very entertaing.The choice of food was excellent you was spoiled for choice where to eat and what to eat.The staff work very long hours and housekeeping was excellent the young lady and man Anna & vincy were brilliant the cabin was always nice and clean and tidy.we would certainly go back on the destiny. doreen & griff lewis

saw some bad reviews but tried to ignore them about this ship. we didnt originally book this cruise but thompson cancelled and this was an alternative. Found this to be a commom theme when talking with other passengers!! Cabin was ok and quite roomy. Food was varied, tasty but often cold even in the ONE restaurant! The alternative buffet restaurant on the top deck left you open to the elements. And of course in october the med wheather can be awful and was for our week. If you you dont like formal eating there isnt much of an alternative. Only book this boat if the wheather is extremely good.!!!!!

We've all came home with an awful bout of flu symptoms.

Cruise itself was very mediocre. Tiny cabins ,open deck Lido area,poor daytime entertainment. Main problem was that I was ill with gastroenteritis and became extremely ill on the final day and was declared not fit to fly for which I had to pay £137. We were then forcefully advised to go to the private medical centre which Thomson had links with and told all local hospitals would be very poor. As I have cancer my insurance did not cover private but the ship rep kept insisting and arranged a taxi. This centre was dreadful and I was charged almost 1000 euros for2IXray and blood test.

Idischarged myself after about 2 hours and went to an excellent state run hospital where I was a patient for 4 days. Thomson rep totally unhelpful

excellent value,great selection of food ,some trips can be done cheaper doing them yourself but can be more fun with a group.some great shows ,the entertainment staff worked really hard.all the staff were polite and helpful.met some lovely people from all walkes of life.you get some moaners but some people enjoy looking for faults.would definately recommend.down side,put 11lbs on!!

I must admit, I never fancied a cruise but went with my in-laws, (this was their 7th cruise),it was brilliant, you wake up in a morning, somewhere different, we went to Barcelona, Toulon, Sardinia, Naples, (pompei was amazing), and perlemo. We cruised on Thomson Destiny. You can have a cooked breakfast until 11.30, so if you want to have a lie in you can, then lunch is at twelve until 3.30, also there was a seperate bbq on the go if you just wanted a quick bite if you had been off the ship on a trip. If that isn't enough 3.30 until 6pm you can have snacks and cakes and a cup of coffee or tea, then it all starts again until 2am with your evening meal, with a choice of waiter service in the dining room,(they can't do enough for you), or you can go to the buffet in a different dining area. The staff were fantastic, the entertainment was top class, the cabin wasn't bad I thought, (inside) but I am only 5ft so it maybe was easier for me than my husband. If we would change anything we would upgrade to a larger cabin, but to put it in perspective the cabin was like a caravan, but as we only slept and showered in there it wasn't too bad in my opinion.

If anyone reading this has any reservations, DON'T!! You will love it.

You can sunbathe all day, or you can go to the gym, join in all of the activities that are going on, literally, whatever floats your boat!!

If you do book, have a good one,I will be doing it again next year.

Having come off the mariner of the seas in November the Destiny was complete rubbish, we will not go on a Thompson cruise again

The drinks package is excellent value, everyone is so friendly. The cabins are rather small. However, overall, a really enjoyable holiday and I would recommend the Thompson Destiny.

woow eveyone working on that ship does a great job you all made it the best holiday ever thank you so much next time I am going for two weeks one week wern't enough xx

Great cruise very good staff food excellent, couldn't wish to be better looked after

This was our first ever cruise and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Our daughter loved everything about it, especially the girls in the KidsZone Club. She was in the Tribe Club and this was very well run. From the moment you stepped on board the Destiny you were treated so well. The staff always have a friendly smile and "hello" for you. The Entertainments Team were amazing and the shows they put on during the cruise were fabulous. Well done to one and all. The food is 24/7 and of good quality. The service in each and every one of the bars is second to none. We had the drinks package and we were pleased we had done this. The girls who cleaned the cabins were so pleasant and we loved coming back to our cabin at night after the entertainment and seeing our beds turned down - this was a lovely gesture. We visited Nice, Monaco, Monte Carlo and Rome and loved every one of them. All in all a great holiday and a great experience for our first ever cruise. WE WILL BE BACK.
