We took a two week back to back cruise from, and back to, Montego Bay, Jamaica. We went to some really interesting places including Costa Rica, Panama and Colombia the first week, then Cozumel, Cuba and Gran Cayman the second week. Different experiences and feel to each port of call visited. Marella Explorer 2 was a fabulous adult only ship. Staff were so friendly and great at what they do. Our ...
We wanted the trip of a lifetime and oh did we get that!
Everything was fabulous ,the cabin was spacious-(we had a junior suite ) and spotless, the staff were amazing -all of them nothing was too much trouble and they all went far beyond expectations to make our holiday unforgettable.
Food and drinks were perfect and we were positively encouraged to have as much as we wanted
The bar ...
We have been regular cruisers for a few years now, and have sailed with most of the big operators. We are recent converts to Marella and have just enjoyed a two week trip on the Caribbean on the Discovery 2. We particularly like the Discovery 2 (as well as Discovery 1). Here’s why.
1. Design of the ship. The D2 is a mid-size ship and is easy to get around. We never had to wait long for lifts ...
Originally wanted to see the Panama canal. We couldn't find a cruise there from Toronto, we did find this one online and booked through our travel agency in town.
Once on board we found out this ship had been in the canal the previous week! Oh well . Will have to go back. We did not take any excursions just did our own thing mainly walking around our stops. We were overall extremely happy for ...
Very pleased with the services and crew members. Thank you Sarah in Registration for your empathy and professionalism!
The crew were very happy and friendly. Shout out to Eury in the bar services!
The spa was I delightful experience! I learned how to care for my face and enjoyed a fabulous massage. Thank you Nancy and Alex!
We were disappointed to only be able to make reservations at ...

First the Bad. We booked early through Sunwing (Toronto), paid full price. When we boarded the ship, our assigned cabin was quite small. We are pensioners, Sunwing requested our age. There was a queen bed in the corner, 1 night table sideways at head (drawer could not be opened), access to the bed was only from foot or on right side. Access at ...
Opted for this cruise because it sounded such good value and we were not disappointed! Whole trip was a total success! Plenty to do, eat visit. Very relaxed atmosphere throughout the ship. Entertainment was very good too. Staff always there to help you. Got to know acouple of the staff quite well. Emilliaj, Daryna and Kerry, were just brilliant with our group. Always smiling and always had time to ...
We spent the 2 weeks around New Year on this ship and were very impressed. They did a great job of the Hogmanay Party one of the best I have been to. Great Night. We will be back!
Staff on the ship are 5*. I was told that they range from over 45 different countries but whoever did the hiring and training deserves a promotion. So proactive and helpful.
Loved the way they take you straight ...
We have not cruised with Tui before and we were pleasantly surprised when we arrived onboard. The ship is lovely and the crew is extremely friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble for them. The cabin was clean and comfortable with a balcony and the maid service was excellent.
We thought the food and service in the dining room was excellent with a good choice and the food in the self ...
We researched cruises last year but couldn’t seem to get an “all-in” price so we put cruising on the back burner for another time. This year while looking for an all-inclusive resort we stumbled across the Tui-Marella Discovery 2 Cruise. We read the reviews and purchased our tickets the next day. The cruise was an all inclusive booked through Sunwing, flying fromToronto to board in Montego Bay. ...
