Tom and Dom Travel description on YouTube:

We are Tom and Dom and we love to travel. We took our first cruise on MSC Virtuosa during her UK staycation cruises in June 2021. Many cruises later, with a variety of lines, we can now say we are officially hooked. What makes us unique? We have never cruised on the same ship twice. When not cruising we can be found in South West Wales where Tom works for a charity founded by His Majesty The King and Dom is a Teacher and Head of Year in a Secondary school. Our mission is to provide a fair and balanced review of our travels. We have focus on showcasing a modern way of cruising. Whilst travelling we review all elements that make up a great trip including food, entertainment, service and accommodation CLIA Choose Cruise member 2025

The Good

โ€œI can honestly say that the Mediterranean hot stone massage was the best massage I have ever experienced, and I would be happy to do it again, and again, and again.โ€

๐Ÿฅ‰KnowledgeableTom and Dom Travel

โ€œWe would thoroughly, thoroughly recommend it.โ€

๐Ÿฅ‰KnowledgeableTom and Dom Travel

โ€œIt was a fantastic experience. We would thoroughly, thoroughly recommend it.โ€

๐Ÿฅ‰KnowledgeableTom and Dom Travel

โ€œWe have to give it a 10 out of 10.โ€

๐Ÿฅ‰KnowledgeableTom and Dom Travel

โ€œProbably one of the best nights we've ever had on any cruise ship.โ€

๐Ÿฅ‰KnowledgeableTom and Dom Travel
The Watch-outs

โ€œwe can honestly say we can hear everything word for word it has been an a horrendous experience and this is genuinely the worst cruise cabin we have ever stayed inโ€

๐Ÿฅ‰KnowledgeableTom and Dom Travel

โ€œwe've actually got no cew what we have got is people constantly changing literally coming straight up to the window to look inโ€

๐Ÿฅ‰KnowledgeableTom and Dom Travel

โ€œthe reception staff were absolutely awful basically what we were told was not our problem speak to your travel agentโ€

๐Ÿฅ‰KnowledgeableTom and Dom Travel

โ€œwe have been outside with the light switched on and you can see through the window so it's going to be a massive massive drawback for most people wanting this cabinโ€

๐Ÿฅ‰KnowledgeableTom and Dom Travel

โ€œwe would recommend to anyone who is allocated a cabin either in this cabin or anyone's along our row is to absolutely refuse to stay in them because you will have an awful time staying in these cabinsโ€

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Tom and Dom Travel.

  1. Bring your passport for La Rochelle port

  2. Use the virtual queue or buzzer system for dining

  3. Wear appropriate clothing to access the late-night buffet

  4. Visit Santandere's cathedral early in the morning (10 AM to 1 PM) or late afternoon (4:30 PM to 7:30 PM) to avoid closing times.

  5. Plan for at least 2.5 hours for the Epicurion dining experience to enjoy it fully.

  6. Use the outdoor escalators in Santandere to easily access the hilltop without walking up steps.

  7. Buy bus tickets from the main bus station area as they are cheaper than purchasing them on the bus.

  8. Walk out of the port and keep to your right to find the main bus station.
