Marella Dream Review
Rating by category
Additional details
We had seen mixed reviews on the Thomson Dream but had been assured by friends who had travelled on it last year that all would be good. We survived the initial herding onto the boat, (rather annoying that some guests can buy priority and move to front of the queue), this is my main gripe with Thomson i.e. always looking to charge for extra services and goods. I was shocked to be charged �£15 to use a safe for a week in the cabin - excessive charge to say the least. You are charged extra �£5 to see a decent film on the flight too.
But the main asset of the boat is the great staff on board who cant do enough for. Our cabin, maintained by Christina was immaculate throughout. One tiny gripe is that there is no milk for tea, but otherwise we were pleased with the cabin and its cleanliness.
The food was good, though the Orion restaurant appeared to serve the best quality food, the service we received from Charlie and Yogi in the Orion was excellent. Make no mistake the staff work long hours, but somehow always manage to keep a smile on their faces.
Cabin Review
Cabin 2019 - outside cabin with window - certainly quiet, though we were on deck 7 and did on occasion hear noise from upstairs which i think must have been early morning cleaning duties.the room was kept immaculate by Christina who couldnt have been more helpful.Facilities were good - I resent paying £15 for a safe for the week though!There isnt an obvious space to put cases though but Im not sure how you resolve that one.Bathroom facilities were good but no explanation as to how to use the shower - still not sure what the two shower heads were for!
