Hi Ann

Not actually been on the Calypso so cant give a personal opinion
However this a link to reviews of others who have.

Hope it helps, although you may have been to this site

Hi George
Yes have been on that site but not sure how honest folks are---especially if they have been on big cruise ships,as this is the smallest in Thomson's fleet I just wondered.
Thank you

Hi Ann,


am watching this one with interest as my parents are booked on this ship next May......

i have been on the Spirit, & the Destiny, both fantastic!!
my parents have been on the above too plus the Celebration also loved it.

they are looking forward to the Calypso as it is adults only & much smaller so feel it would be more friendly & personal, and can get into the smaller ports so more for them to visit.........
