Marella Celebration Review
Rating by category
Additional details
Trip booked last minute, two weeks ahead, and wanted to try cruising and see 3 major sites of Petra, Pyramids and Luxor while it was cooler. Luckily for us it was also no children.
Flights and transfers to ship, ported at Sharm el sheik, were all fine and boarding process was no problem.
Had cabin 898 which is level C and the lowest you can get (A and B are higher decks) and also at the rear of the boat. I liked the fact we were so close to the water, the port hole sometimes went underwater, but the engine noise can be very, very loud due to an auxiliary engine. After complaining was given earplugs but you could still clearly hear the engine and this badly affected my sleep. This did not go well with the early start and long trips. The cabin itself was perfectly fine and better than we expected.
Cabin Review
Reasonable size with two double wardrobes, double bed, various draws. Bottom level so sea can come over porthole and view of quayside wall if docked that side. Poor position at rear of ship next to engine and very, very noisy (still noisy with earplugs).
