    Oh dear oh dear, I have just noticed I am a ships cook!! I hate cooking!! I think Cruise Dot has mixed up the promotions,surely I should be the bosun now? and the galley should start with galley boy, ships steward, then cook? I want to stay on deck duties please!!
    Can't have a galley boy must be a galley person
    Where is my dinner
    I thought we had Cornish Pasty and chips on the menu :D

    Tried to read the review a moment ago but can't find it . Does anyone know why? And yes I checked all the thomsons reviews
    They aren't under Thomson they were only acquired by Thomson, so they still have their own little category ~

    That should be what you require ~ Don't read before bed, it's all very scary!

    We are all atheists about most of the gods that humanity has ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further.

    I think it would be a good idea if this went legal :D. It could set precidents and perhaps the surly ones (so called reception desk mateys) would take notice when someone had a problem.
    NEVER get any complaints on my boat, If ANYONE dares to moan about ANYTHING, they swim home !!!!! If the cruise ships employed people like me as captain the whingers would soon go AWOL !!! SO WOULD THE CREW !!!! Dont complain, THROW EM OVER THE SIDE !!!
    Just kidding, I am a friendly little BLIGHter really !!! KEEP ON CRUISIN !!

    Thanks for that Shelley, it sounded unbelievably bad ! From what I read the passengers have been offered 25 % rebate in cash.

    Don't think I would risk a cruise with Thomsons, better to pay more and enjoy it.

    From a Thomsons cruiser. Island Escape is NOT to be considered a Thomsons cruise ship but was forced on them by TUI. I expect they would not want to touch it with a diamante studded bargepole!.

    Island escape never again

    My wife and I sailed on the escape a year ago and we vowed never to go on it again. My wife is vegatarian and we cruise twice a year mostly with thompsons and all the cruises have been really enjoyable. However we made the mistake of cruising on this ship to find that the food for vegatarians was non existant in spite of continually requesting this type of meal. we had a chance to speak to the head chef and inform him of my wifes delimma. The chefs reply was, you are a minority but if you book another week we could probably cater for you?. we did complain on the evaluation form, perhaps they did not read this one. there were complaints of the ship being dirty but I did not see this. I did see many passengers using the toilet and not washing their hands which is our fault not the ships.
