We had been on the celebration last year and thought it was very good value for money. The itinerary was great for the discovery 2 so thought we would give it a go.
The ship is big and newer than the celebration. Impressive when you arrive.
Luggage delivered to door of cabin with no issue and in a reasonable time. Everything was clean and tidy (I think the only thing I saw which had a bit ...
This was over Christmas 2018 & New Year, from Jamaica with stops to Belize, Guatemala, Roatan and Mexico. Upon arrival at the cruise ship terminal in Jamaica, we found out there was a mix up with a lot of the Sunwing bookings. There was no room reservation for us, there must have been over 50 of us who had to wait to get rooms. We waited over 4 hours, and some waited much longer. At least they let ...
Outside cabin well fitted out and always kept clean and tidy by excellent steward.
All staff friendly and helpful, though they seemed very short staffed in the resatuarnt so all waiters seemed to look after too many tables so we often waited a while for drinks to arrive.
Food seemed better in week two or had we just got used to it. The stanadrds did seem to vary depending on your meal ...
We chose this cruise for two things , first that it covered Christmas and New year, secondly it was going to Cuba.
Flight from Gatwick to Montego Bay was good no problems , arrival was chaotic , wrong forms for immigration given out so had to fill new ones while standing in a long line. Embarkation at port no problem.
Cabin allocated was on deck 2 with a large window. Good size with a sofa ...
Having been on Discovery1 last march we were interested to see the differences, which were very minor.
The crew as on all Marella cruise ships were excellent, and wre always helpful. The ship was in good condition for its age but I have seen worst on younger P & O. The food for us was always very good but we are early eaters and the food was ALWAYS hot. Special mention must go to Surf & Turf ...
Pride of Panama and Cuban Fusion Cruise
The flight from Gatwick took off at 9.30am and was a 10 hr flight due to a head wind the flight back was only 8hrs and 10 mins. On arrival at Jamaica at 2.30pm it was a bit chaotic having to fill in Immigration forms which were handed to us while queueing, it would have helped if these we given on the flight as it held things up and took nearly 30 mins to ...
We have cruised more than 60 times on a variety of cruise lines and while we do have favourites I nevertheless feel able to provide unbiassed reviews on any ship I cruise on. In my view Marella Discovery 2 is somewhat of a gem in the Marella fleet. Previously Royal Caribbean’s Legend of the Seas it transferred to then TUI, now Marella and first saw service under that brand in May 2017. We ...
Heard from friends of Marella Discovery 2, especially the ' all inclusive' feature.
My wife and I have done 8 cruises before and we were impressed with the service, the politeness of the whole crew of Marella Discovery 2. Never seen in any of the ships before the amount of drinks ( free ) available on that ship ... Anywhere on any floor you are greeted with carts of drinks. On the deck, almost ...
Was on this ship in April doing Cuban Fusion and had a great time. No complaints so we decided to do Pride of Panama this time.
We booked a Oceanview cabin 2062 but was upgraded to a balcony 6516 which we didn’t know about until at the Airport we meet another couple an upon talking to them they also were assigned cabin 2062. So we assumed one of us would be moved.
We didn’t attend any of the ...
Chose the cruise because of the itinerary. Have cruised the Caribbean before but this cruise visited places we had'nt been. Cuba, Costa Rica, Panama and Columbia to name a few. We were delighted to find we not only had a great itinerary but we also were on a great ship. The entertainment was fantastic , 12 different shows and 2 guest artists in 14 nights. Cabin was ample in size, food was good ...
