Marella Dream Review

Additional details
We booked this 22 day cruise from Lisbon across to the Caribbean only 10 days before departure. We were not sure what to expect and for the price that we paid we would have been prepared to put up with a few problems/niggles. But we can honestly say that it was a lovely trip. The ship is a bit old but the cabin was very spacious ( outside plus) and kept very clean by the cabin steward.
We didn't like the Orion restaurant, the waiter service was slow and the food not very good but the other two buffet restaurants were excellent. We preferred to be able to help ourselves to what we fancied eating at anytime and if you were going to see the early show @ 8.30 it was a lot quicker !!
The entertainment team and Bram, the cruise director, were 1st class. The shows, comedian ( Carl Schofield ), singer (Steven Michael ) and Guest speaker ( Rod Taylor) were excellent .
Cabin Review
We had an outside plus cabin which was very spacious. the storage space was excellent, 2 large wardrobes and plenty of drawers.( although drawers did stick a bit on opening). there was a large 3 seater settee in the room. All kept clean by the steward and towels replaced as often as you wanted. Tea and coffee making facility but only cream left not milk which didn't quite taste right in the tea.We never experienced any noise problems and the bed was very comfy.
