Hi Cruisers,

Going on the Destiny on 17th Jul 08. Wife wants to know if she can use here Straightners and Hair Dryer on the ship. She is concerned because of the power supply. :rofl
I personnally have more important questions but ill ask them later :que

Both mine worked fine on the Spirit - there can't be a question more important than to do with straighteners!

Thanks for that Gill - That saved us a bit of dow - Mary was going to go out and buy new gas straightners.
Having a slap head I suppose I do not understand the need for these Items or its importants.
Having read the threads on the Thompson Cruises I am looking forward to chilling out with a few G and T's in July.

regards

Hi Jackie,

I was on Destiny in April/May, and the policy change on May 1st 2008 which now states no smoking anywhere inside the ship (inc. cabins), only on portside of the outside decks (when not re-fueling).

I hope this clears up any confusion. :(

Awww I feel for you Jackie! I gave up smoking Jan 07 by complete fluke so I'll be alright on Destiny this year but if I hadn't I would be freaking out by now having just heard that.

Make sure you pack a few cardigans for all the trips you're bound to be making to the top deck next week!

I think I would've been sleeping on a sun lounger at night just to save time going up and down stairs :D
See you next week :cheers :fly
Any others off on Thursday (12th)?

Glad you had a good time Jackie. Would be delighted if you would post a review by clicking the link at the top of the page. I would suggest typing it in Word or similar first so that you can copy and paste it.

Thanks.

Regarding the guided tours from Thomson cruises , can anyone advise what i should roughly expect to pay for these organised excursions ??

would like to know before i book to see if affordable for me.

Also can Olbia in Sardina be done as a DIY in the same manner that Mahon can ???

We have booked a cruise for October half term on the Destiny "Moorish experience" , 2 adults and 2 teenager (15/14)and this is our first cruise. We booked a 4 berth inside cabin on deck 3 - I have read many reviews so I know that the cabin is going to be cramped but also understand that we won't be spending much time in there, I hope! but the question I would like to ask (most probably the 1st of many) is - The bunks in the cabin, do they stay out for the whole cruise or do we/or cabin staff put them away, as I would like to put them out of sight during the day as it would hopefully make the cabin feel slightly less cramped. Can any one tell me.. :que Thanks

Hi meeanne and welcome to HT!

The Pullman beds, the upper bunks, are pushed against the wall during the day and the lower bunks are usually made up with cushions to resemble a sofa. Your cabin steward will do this for you while you are at Breakfast. This makes the cabin appeare more spacious during the day.

I have merged your post with an existing topic on the Destiny which has some useful information in earlier posts.

Any further questions, please feel free to ask.

You most probably won't all be in the cabin at the same time (apart from sleeping) so it won't be too bad. We had a routine where the kids went up late afternoon, showered and changed, then an hour later, we went up and they left the cabin and went into one of the lounges.

Thanks for that reply- its glad to know that the cabins will look more spacious with the bunks away! We can't wait as we only decided to go on this cruise last Saturday - its a bit of the unknown :yikes as no-one we know has been on one but reading your replies helps to answers alot of questions we have about it. :)

"Anyone stayed in the Talayot lately. ?"

I stayed there last year - lovely hotel. The majority of the guests are, shall we say, of more mature years but this didn't stop my kids from having a great time. They have a fantastic entertainments host named Andreas who cooks a lovely paella and says "bloody" in every sentence. Some people didn't approve, but as my wife said, we should be thankful it wasn't a lot worse!
