We went on this cruise because we had been on the Marella Dream in June, we had such a good time on the Dream we decided to go on the Discovery, so we could compare the two. we enjoyed both to be honest, although the Dream is smaller and older ship than the Discovery I'd say the Dream just piped the Discovery for us. We thought the Dream managed the people it had on board better than the ...
This was our first ever cruise. We were a bit dubious at first and wasn’t sure if it was for us, but after a couple of days, we found our feet and began to enjoy it. The day at sea, the boat was very very busy (understandably), the pool area looked like seal colony, people were packed in like sardines, which I didn’t like. Days at destinations was fine - plenty of room. The staff are EXCELLENT! ...

This was our second TUI cruise and overall it was enjoyable and due to the ports of call.

Hi all , myself and my family decided after a lot of mixed feelings to book a cruise and as this was our first we decided to do 1 week cruising and 3 days in a hotel .
Let me start by saying that myself and my family were all very excited about setting sail for the first time as TUI have a good name in value for money cruises.
As it was our first cruise we went with our friends who have ...

We travelled as a family with two children under 14 , on back to back cruises , the Adriatic Explorer and Iconic Islands.
The itinery was brilliant including Venice and Santorini which we really wanted , hence choosing TUI on this occasion, having travelled with Royal Caribbean twice and Princess Cruises once before.

The Discovery 2 is a great addition to the TUI fleet , and ...
Went with a party of eight and we all enjoyed the experience overall.
This was our fourth cruise with Thomson (TUI) and we've enjoyed them all but this was the best to date.
Plenty of storage space in the cabin.
Dined in the main restaurant mostly and whilst we had to wait a couple of times in the evening we were given bleepers so that we could go and sit in one of the bars and have a ...
