Hi mumsy

Happy New Year :lol:

Yes they do still offer that trip. Picked up and bought home theshore excursion guide.
It is a half day trip (pm) departs 12.45 and is for approx 4 hrs.
The price is £30 adult and £15 per child. That was on the Thursday. Am sure it will be the same for when you go.
Oh you lucky thing - a good start to the new year!!
Enjoy

The Thomson Celebration is removing Morocco, Agadir from its Intinery, as its not liked by many passengers. Not sure if they will reinstate it though.

My cruise (christmas) was when they announced it wouldn't be going back to Morocco.

I think that's excellent news as Agadir and La Goulette in Tunisia are very unpopular ports despite many of the Canaries cruises visiting them. D you have any idea what they are replacing it with?

Ahh :cry: we usually have a great day on the boat haggling with the traders on the quay, first my husband gets off the boat and surveys the stalls he then reboards. He goes out for a second time and commences haggling saying that his wife won't let him pay that much and reboards, he goes out for a third time and battle commences including me on the deck. Always come away with a bargain. Was hoping for a new leather holdall this cruise, (mice in loft chewed through last one)
Will missing out Morocco mean that the Duty free Alcohol and tobacco shop will remain shut?
Mumsy :D

They will be staying an extra day in Madeira, Funchal since that is their best port of call.

Duty free was always open when out of port. The only time it is open inside a port is for embarking/disembarking days.

Hi
Please bear with me as this is my first posting on the site.
Just like to add what an excellent and helpful site this is.
A question for mhumphries.
Could you please tell me when the Celebration visit of Morocco will be cancelled from.
My wife and I have done 2 cruises on the Topaz and both times did not leave the ship on either visit to Morocco.
We are due to cruise on the 10th Febuary only 4 weeks away.
Thank you for your reply if you are able to let me know the outcome.

Cheers

Hi Bonnie and welcome to HT!

Never be afraid to post on this site as all the members are really friendly and will offer help and assistance where they can.

I have just checked the http://www.thomsoncruises.co.uk website and it is still showing Agadir as a port for cruises on the Celebration in April and even for the Destiny in October.

I suggest you call you call them direct and hopefully they will be able to tell you. The number is 0870 060 2277.

Hi Bonnie and welcome. :)
We are on the week previous to you, we have received our tickets and there was no indication of a change to Itinerary with them.
Mumsy :)
Only two weeks and six days to go. :D

We never even bothered to get off at Agadir. It really is the worst stop and the scenery is none to be desired. However we really did not mind this as we spent the day onboard which is just as enjoyable- relaxing on the sun deck.. eating.. drinking..talking.. and on and on and on!
What deck are you staying on?

8) Going on the Destiny on the Colourful Coasts cruise Dec 2006 - New Year (Las Palmas, Funchal, Agadir & Arrecife), would be intersted on any advice on DIY Shore excursions, also anyone who has been on the New Year cruise.

Thanks :D
