A lovely ship. We made our first cruise on her out of Venice in 2001.

A good addition to the fleet, a more modern cruise ship with plenty of balconies. Hope they do some decent itineraries with it such as the Baltics and Iceland/Greenland etc and not just park it in the Med and Caribbean
according to the Thomson web site, the Island escape is going to be let go, probably going to PandO after all the hype about Brittania calms down

There's nothing wrong with my back ;)

And if I'd spent the last few months pleasuring Her Majesty I would have a knighthood, at the very least.

As far as is known no promenade deck. which is why they need to get rid of the 18 hole golf course and the climbing wall

There definitely was a prom deck when we were on her. We had the M&S star there under the lifeboats.

Sorry, blasted atuo-correct, it should have been 'muster'. Most published plans don't show the outside area on deck 4 and RCI call deck 5 the 'promenade deck'. The deck doesn't go all round, I think the stern is blocked off and it's been so long ago that I can't remember the chairs but presumaby Thompson will have their own ideas.

Oops! [emoji32]

None of the deck plans that I can find for RCI show the outside deck, but I know it had one ???
