standards are dropping as they are returning the ship to the owners in Sept 2017.It appears no maintenance is being done. No hot water for 3 days. Toilets blocked. No one is interested in your cabin problems. No matter how many times we asked at reception when the hot water would be back on no one knew or cared. Paid for an outside cabin on deck 9 but got a "restricted view" ie no view at all Been with Thomson cruises 14 times but never again.Staff worked very hard. Cabin very well looked after. Food choice was very good but meals not hot. Entertainment staff worked very hard but not up to usual standard, Seen some of the shows on previous Thomson cruises. Many of the ports stopped well out of the centre. One stop was 45 minutes from the centre and they had the cheek to charge us £5 to bus us in !! Long wait to get checked onto ship.
