What To Pack
During the day the dress code is casual, but it is recommended that your cover up swimwear when reentering the ship from the pool. You should also take comfortable walking shoes for shore excursions. Some shore excursions may be religious sights and you might be required to cover up your knees and arms.
The dress code at night changes so you will find out from the cruise news on board it will either be informal or formal. The informal nights are smart casual this will require gentlemen to wear long trousers at least. Formal nights like the Captains cocktail party will require gentlemen to wear a jacket and tie and ladies should wear cocktail dresses.
There is at least one formal night when on a seven night cruise.
--------------------------------------------------------------- Health At Sea
All the Thomson ships have medical centers and have English speaking medical doctors. Most of the services carry a charge so you should take your insurance claim form if you have to go to a medical center when out of the UK.
If you suffer from seasickness or concerned that you might get it visit your doctor before leaving for advice.
-------------------------------------------------------------- Electrical Items on the ships
Thomson does allow the use of electrical items on its ships with the exception of irons.
Hairdryers are present in all cabins and pressing and laundry services are also available, there are three self-service launderettes (extra charges may apply onboard the Celebration and Spirit). Mobile phones and video recorders do require a travel adapter.
The cabins have 110 volt American style flat pin sockets. The Celebration & Spirit also have 220 volt European style round pin sockets.
--------------------------------------------------------------- Safety Deposit Boxes
Most cabins have saftey deposit boxes, however if your cabin does not have one then there will be ones in reception.

When on a Thomson ship all of the restaurants and lounges are non-smoking throughout. The bars are divided into smoking and non smoking sections and smoking in your cabins are permitted however Thomson discourages this.

You do not have to tip any of the waiters as that is included into the cost of your cruise, however if you feel you feel the need to tip, you are welcome to give something extra.
