We chose this cruise because of the ports: Slovenia, Venice, Split, Dubrovnik and Montenegro. We had an outside cabin on deck 4 which was lovely. Spacious and well equipped with lots of room, a really comfortable double bed, dressing table, sofa, coffee table, wardrobe and drawers and bathroom with shower. We walked from the terminal in Corfu to the ship and we were on board in no time at all. The organisation of cards, photographs taken etc were sorted in no time at all. We had a quick drink in the Medusa lounge while we waited for our luggage. From start to finish the cruise exceeded our expectations. The food was lovely (especially in the Orion restaurant) and the service was exceptional. Entertainment was also really good. We mainly stayed in the Medusa Lounge watching Top Men who were really good. We had a free drinks package and had no complaints about the quality of the drinks or service. We booked three excursions: 1 in Slovenia, 1 in Dubrovnik and 1 in Montenegro. All of the excursions were excellent and good value for money. We saw an awful lot more than we would have if we had just done our own thing. Thomson organised coaches etc and someone was always available to ask questions. The reception desk on the ship was also really helpful. So if you are new to cruising and are concerned about not knowing what to do etc, please do not worry, you re well looked after. The ship is clean and tidy and deck areas are lovely to lounge on. We did not encounter the smoking problem which has been mentioned in other reviews. We will definitely be booking again!!!
