Service and Staff

All the crew and room steward was great but the room 105 where my partner slept was in a bad way the blinds have slash marks built up dirt knocking and squeeking doors not a relaxing holiday in any way and the rooms look so dated the ship should be in a museum

I have also been on celebration an old ship but kept spotless, the food was second to non, the staff are fantastic. I think this person must have got out of bed the wrong side

Think this review is unfair, having also been on the Celebration, the ship is kept exceptionaly clean, the rooms are well maintained and very clean, the food excellent and the entertainment 1st class. Not sure what this critical unfair review is about ...

Think may be a harsh review; have been in Thomson celebration and although not as good as the Dream, really not that bad. I personally would recommend Thomson Cruises
