Can you extricate yourself from the booking
with minimal losses?

You should ask: try to nip it in the bud...?

Yes, if you've only paid a deposit it might be worth cutting your losses. The ship sounds nasty these days.

Look around in the appropriate section
for a thread that provided a link to tell-all photos.


OK I got it.
http://cruisefromhell.webs.com/ is the front page
but the page you want is their photo Gallery, at URL

Go take a look at get back to us with your reaction.



This is the carpet outside your cabin?


I went thru the whole lot (maybe 20-30 photos) detailing the rusty ugly bits
and it wasn't a pretty sight!

You should try to get out,seriously!
.

As you have been advised it is better to try and cancel the Cruise following the latest reports on this Ship.But in Law and on paying a Deposit you have entered into a Contract which means you would have to pay Thompsons the full balance of the holiday.However it is rare that Companies look at this option.Simply send a letter and Cancel the holiday,this should be to yur booking agent.Best of Luck.

Read the fine print re. cancelling.

Usually, you'll lose a little something when cancelling this early
but it'll be worth it!
Just chalk it up to Experience, as my Dad used to say. ;)

On the other hand,
you could be brave and go thru with the cruise
aware of what you're getting into
and go prepared -with clipboard, pencil and camera
to thoroughly document whatever transpires(good and bad!)
to let us all know, a week after you return...?
.

Check your paperwork there may be a cooling off period ;)

Brenda,

We have just changed our booking from the Island Escape to The Dream for June this year and it only cost £35 each to transfer plus any extra cost of the cruise. So if you stay with a Thomsons cruise it shouldn't cost you too much more.
