The Celebration is a fantastic cruise ship with fantastic crew. Everything went off perfectly. Would thoughly recommend it to anyone, as I would Destiny and Spirit. Each of the ships has its own personality and I honestly would not like to choose my favourite between them. You are treated like a king and queen from the moment you arrive until the moment you depart. Keep up the good work! Off on the Thomson Dream in October 2011. Cannot wait! I know it has received some unfavourable reviews but quite honestly, I didnt take much notice. Obviously you cannot please everyone!

colourfull coasts cruise, first week in january 2009 covering canary islands and morroco, we enjoyed the cruise excellent itinary apart from morroco - trip to marrakesh, 12 hours tour, 8 hours on a coach, 2 hours in a restaurant, 2 hours on walkabout, waste of money, apart from this we enjoyed our weeks holiday, celebration is an old ship and it would have been much more enjoyable for us if thomson laid the old lady to rest in a breakers yard and invested in a real cruise ship to match other cruise lines

Thomson celebration was the best cruise we did, it was extremely good. We went to our first ever cruise in May 2008. Norway. It was on Thomson celebration. Without a doubt it was a very good tour, every thing was excellent, specially the entertaintment team. We will definitly go with Thomson celebration again.

The Thomson Celebration Fjordland cruise was our first cruise, and it certainly won't be our last. We went on excursions each day while in Norway, which were very professionally organised and friendly. The sights of Norway are breathtaking, and the Norwegians are very friendly and helpful. We even had a rendition of opera on one excursion by our Norwegian tour guide, which was excellent. I would recommend going on the excursions, but if you go to Mount Dalsnibbia, which is an excellent excursion, be aware the coach ride up to the top of the mountain is a bit scary. Also, make sure you take some warm clothes and rain protective coats, because when it rains in Norway it RAINS! I enjoyed the Flam tour the most, and the train ride back down was really enjoyable.

With regards to the cruise itself, I have to say that all of the crew from the Captain to the galley crew are all incredibly friendly and helpful. The crew are Filipino and have a constant smile. They were always saying hello whenever we met any of them. I recommend Meridians restaurant to eat in of an evening. It is as good a restaurant as I've ever eaten in. I went on the cruise with my wife, mother and father-in-law, and we all thoroughly enjoyed the Meridian experience every night. The LIDO restaurant situated at the rear of the ship is self service, and it is constantly open and provides all you would need to eat, from sandwiches and pizza's to a 3 course meal. Drinks on the ship are very reasonable. A pint of beer is about £2.20 and a bottle of wine is about £12.00, although you can get more expensive wines if you wish. Don't miss the chocolate buffet and the midnight buffet in Meridians. It has to be seen to be believed! The gym is fairly well equipped, and you can get a massage or other health/beauty treatments if you wish at varying costs. There is also a sauna on the ship.

Our cabin was very comfortable, and we had a powerful shower. The room was kept immaculate by our Cabin boy. The entertainment on the ship is absolutely excellent. The entertainers are very talented, be it doing a version of "Pirates of Penzance" or doing Elvis nights. All of the entertainers could quite easily fit in the best Broadway shows. The musical director was so talented and hard working. If you get a chance, go and see him do his solo act in Horizons, great singer, very funny and an excellent musician. The entertainment team are quite honestly brilliant. I can't think of a better way to describe them.

This was the first 14 day Thomson cruise of the Celebration, so as expected there were problems to be sorted, but despite very hard work by the crew the cruise had to be terminated early in Lisbon, due to the vacuum toilets not working properly. Apart from this the 10 days we had were enyoyable, the entertainment was first class, and the food was very good. At Bilbao all the passengers had to be put into local hotels, even this was done well and we stayed in a 4 star hotel over night. We were amongst the 500 passengers who sailed back to Southampton, so we got spoilt a bit more.

This was the first time I have been on a Thomson Celebration cruise and I can't wait to go on another. I have never been anywhere where I have had excellent service, the whole ship was beautifully clean and the food was superb. To get all three in one holiday is a miracle. Well done Thomsons. Oh and Norway is fantistic, highly recommended.
