I booked my first cruise to Topaz in 1998 with Thomson. The holiday
began with us flying to Orlando Florida, and having a coach transfer
us to Port Canaveral. Our first impressions of the ship was that
it seemed a little old, luckily we had paid a little extra for a
outside cabin with a seaview. The big disappointment was that the
porthole was to high to see out of. Alongside this the cabin was
rather basic. So we were quite glad to start exploring the ship
and this was when things improved, The ships staff and crew were
fabulous, and very friendly and helpful. At meal times we sat on
a big table with 4 other couples and by the end of the cruise we
were sad to leave. We had made friends with all the couples around
out table, and it was a real shame to be saying goodbye. The ports
of call included Bahamas, Mexico and Port Lucaya in the Bahamas.
These ports of call were truely beautiful and we were able to swim
Dolphins. Without doubt excellent value for money. although not
the five star treatment we were expecting.

During the summer myself and my partner visited the local thomson
store. With decided we needed a well deserved holida, and decided
to book a week long break in Halkidiki in Greece. We only had to
sit with the rep for 40 minutes, and by this time we had easily
found a hotel that would suit our lifestyle and budget. The travel
agents were unable to book the holiday there and then as their computers
were down. The package included board accommodation at the hotel,
tansfers and of course the flight. When we did arrive in Greece
we has to wait 2 hours for the coach to come. The journey to the
hotel was only meant to take 45 minutes, 2 and a half hours we arrived
at the hotel. With no air conditioning working on the coach we were
hot and bothered by this time. We therefore thought air conditioning
was included in the price of the hotel, thomsopn didn't inform us
we had to pay an extra 10 euros per day at the hotel just for air
con. The return to the airport a week later was now better. During
all the years I have booked holidays with Thomas Cook I have never
experienced any problems like these.

On the 27th. July my husband suffered a heart attack at Antalya
airport,we missed our flight and baggage but when he came out of
hospital Thomson were not willing to help in any way, we ended up
flying to Glasgow at our expense and coaching back to Manchester.
The business card we were given at the airport had a Thomson rep
phone number in Marmalis and the people at that end said more or
less tough luck. Michelle Montgomery Quesnel British Columbia Canada.
Shame on you.

I booked a holiday for my husband and myself in Gran Canaria,
for 7 days. The appartments according to the on-line brochure
were in Playa del inglis. Just where we wanted to go.Shortly
before the date of the holiday, I received a 'phone call from
Thomson and was told that the appartments were in fact in
Puerto Rico. At the time I was reluctant to make any changes
so agreed to proceed with the holiday.The total cost was £1060,
for the week. On arrival at the appartments we found the accommodation
acceptable, if somewhat dated. However the television did
not work and only two small hand towels were supplied. these
matters were rectified by the helpful staff at the site called
Nido del Aquilia. On the 2nd day my husband boiled the kettle,
the cordless type, however it did not switch off automatically
and on touching the handle my husband burnt three fingers.
The handle was as hot as the body of the kettle!. This was
reported to reception who said they would attend to it, I
don\'t know if they changed the kettle or not but it was no
better and we had to use extreme caution whenever we used
that damn kettle. Also these appartments have no air conditioning
and are like steam ovens at night, so no sleep. A rather disappointing
holiday and we have used Thomson in
the past and generally have been very pleased with them.
