Slow service lots of drinks not available. Held captive on departure because they had a mix up with our credit card. Offensive and aggressive staff on departure and it was their mix up no fault of ours.
Cruises many times with royal Caribbean the discovery 2 and tui or whatever they call themselves now are a very poor comparison. Will not be cruising with them again. Oh and two of us had dodgy ...
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 ...
Just got back from 2 weeks on the Marella Discovery 2 and can honestly say we had a fantastic holiday. The ship/cabin were spotless, cabin was cleaned twice a day. Dining was the best food I've had when abroad as I rarely like foreign food when on holiday, different story on this cruise though, never ate so well. The 47 restaurant was my favorite, everything I ate was delicious. Must mention ...
This was our fifth cruise but our first with Marella (4 with RCI). Unfortunately funds were low this year so, faced with the prospect of no cruise we bit the bucket and booked with Marella.
Firstly, booking was simple - a few mouse clicks, credit card out and we were done. Just over £1,000 each all inclusive for a week doing the Agean Meze (flights from Edinburgh).
Flight was fine, on time ...
I’d never been on a sea cruise before but my partner had and recommended Tui. Overall the cruise was good, value for money definitely (compared to other cruise lines). Could be a bit Butlinsy but we decided we’d do our own thing and make it work for us, which I feel is a plus that we could do that. the islands buffet restaurant was pretty dire (noisy, chaotic and unpleasant food) so after one ...
We went as part of a large family group (6 of us in total), two parents and then two couples in our twenties.
My parents mostly go with P&O (10th cruise) however they were really pleasantly surprised.
Overall we had a great time. Really good food, bar service was sometimes slow when they were very busy but never more than 5 mins wait.
I will say that the Buffet restaurant (Islands), ...
This was our first cruise, so we had nothing to compare against, but the 4 people in our party all thought the cruise on Merrella Discovery 2 was excellent. The ship and the cabins were spotlessly clean, the crew are permanently going around cleaning. The majority of the crew were very pleasant and helpful, you will always get one or two who aren't, but they were very much the minority. The ...
My wife and I went for 2 weeks. I was a bit concerned that there would be people over drinking but everyone was brilliant. Lovely polite passengers. Even the children ( there were not many even though it was school holidays) were looted and well behaved.
All of the staff on the ship seemed so happy and worked as one team.
The entertainment team were awesome.......great shows and always ...
We chose this cruise because our daughter and husband with the grand children had already booked and asked if we would come along. We would normally go outside school holidays.
We generally enjoyed the holiday. All the staff in all departments were great and the guests easy to mix with. Food was good even though the breakfasts became a bit boring. Snack shack was excellent, especially the fish ...
