Cruises on Thomson Celebration
Best of both worlds.Ride the crest of a wave aboard our sister ships, Thomson Celebration and Thomson Spirit.2005 is Thomson Cruises' biggest ever season. The sophisticated Thomson Spirit is joined on the seas by the classic lines of her sister ship, Thomson Celebration.While Thomson Spirit will be sailing to the Norwegian Fjords and the largely undiscovered Baltic Sea, Thomson Celebration will be basking in the warm waters of the Mediterranean.Some things, however, won't change because both ships will offer the same spacious surroundings, friendly atmosphere, well-appointed facilities and warm memories for which Thomson Cruises are renowned.

This was our first cruise with Thomson and we had a marvellous time. The Celebration is an older ship but it has kept a lot of the ex-Holland America fittings. The crew and most officers are Filipino and the ones we spoke to had also come with the ship from Holland America. We booked a suite as there were 3 of us. Ours was called 'Jacques Coustaeu'. All the suites were named after famous explorers. The layout was exactly like the Costa Europa suite that we had last year. Although all tips are included in the price, we left some money for our steward as he was particularly attentive. The only thing wrong with our suite was that the bedcover and sham pillows were very grubby and needed a good clean. But as we did not use them to sit or sleep on (they were removed at night) I was not too bothered. The entertainment was excellent. We had pseudo shows from the West End Theatre as well as tv. The cruise director had a permanent smile on his face and was particularly talented, always taking part in the shows and doing some reviews of his own. He had a very good Victoria Wood solo sketch which was repeated twice on the cruise by popular demand. All the passengers were British and Thomson just catered for british tastes really. The food was to die for, and a 24 hour buffet service certainly made us put on weight. All the usual fare was there as well as themed nights eg. indian, chinese, but it was not overwheming; you could just opt for burgers and chips if that is what you wanted. We used the restaurant on the formal nights and found the standard of service and food also excellent, but opted for the buffet most nights as it gave us the flexibility to get to shows easier. The afternoon teas are worth a mention as well - the cakes were fabulous. They had a different quiz show from uk tv every evening like Weakest Link, Whats My Line, and Countdown. There was also a large, plushly fitted cinema (Holland America again?) with the latest releases and free popcorn provided. The Captain was from Norway, spoke to us regularly on the tannoy system and had a sense of humour. There were several unusual events on this cruise and he kept us informed at all times as to what was going on. The first night at sea we were 'buzzed' by an unknown air force jet who had come to say hello; a crew member after injuring themself had to be airlifted off the ship by a Danish search and rescue helicopter, we were visited at sea by German Police helicopters after leaving Warnemunde (just being nosey), and watched a church burning down in St Petersburg (from the ship) with helicopters picking up quantities of water nearby to throw on it. The ports of call were Aarhus, Tallinn, St Petersburg, Stockholm, Helsinki, Copenhagen, Warnemunde (Rostock). What was good about Thomson was that they gave port 'showcases' every evening before arrival to tell you what to see if you went ashore yourself. They gave public transport routes, what to see and not to see, prices of taxis, free maps etc. There was no compulsion at all to use the laid on tours, although many people were happy with these. The only exception to this was St Petersburg, where you had to join organised tours as personal visas were needed otherwise. We found the price of all the tours reasonable as well, approx

This is the first time we have been on a freestyle cruise and were looking forward to a relaxing two weeks but were still a little apprehensive especially as we were on a "Tour company ship". Celebration was a mid size ship which meant we didn't feel lost in it's vastness and overcrowded by too many passengers. Standard of food was excellent, very well presented and available 24 hours a day. Staff from cabin to M'aitre D and officers were an absolute joy, deferential when needed but also very friendly and helpful. The public lounge areas were clean and very comfortable with staff on hand for your every need. The Celebration Show Team were a very professional outfit with very talented young artists who put on excellent shows and plays for us. In fact this group was the best I have seen on any cruise ship. Trips off the ship at the various ports were good and varied although we did feel some might have been a little overpriced. Cabins were a reasonable size but would benefit from a make over, especially the bathrooms which although kept spotlessly clean, had clearly seen better days. Having been most pleasantly surprised by this lovely cruise I would have no hesitation in recommending the ship to anyone looking for a relaxing time. You can be as formal or informal as you want to be . W had a query regarding our on board credit but this was resolved with the least amount of fuss by the front desk staff. Nearly everyone that we spoke to on board had very positive comments to make. A very few passengers though, we felt, were determined to complain as much as possible and, unfortunately, you can't do much about people like that. I would be happy to travel again with Thompson either on the Celebration or any of their other ships and hope to do so in the near future. Thanks a million Thompson! Maggie and Don Collings
