First class Emerald Cruise
Reviewed By: Brimelow, warrington on 16th Aug 2008
Cruise Line: Thomson Cruises	Times cruised before: 10+
Cruise Ship: The Emerald	Sailed: August, 2008
Destination: Mediterranean	Age: 56-65

This was our first cruise on a Thomson Ship Having cruised on all the big name ships over the last 18 years we were totally amazed at the high standard of the Emerald Although 50 years old and this is its last season the ship was spotless. The staff were the best we have had on any cruise, and far better than P&O. Natually on an old ship the swimming pool was tiny and the uneven decks may not be suitable for the elderly however we thoroughly ejoyed every minute and will definitely be using Thomson cruises again.

Lots to do, a wonderful version of Blythe Spirit was performed during the afternoon which gave us an opportunity to escape from the intense heat of the sun.
Cabins
rather dated but on a 50 year old ship was to be expected however it was clean and funtional
