Marella Dream Review
Rating by category
Additional details
My first cruise was on the Dream and it's sad to see the poor old girl struggling. The Dream is tired and needs to a complete refurbish. This was a holiday for an extended family bonding - thankfully, the company made this as this cruise was disappointing. Unfortunately - Hi-di-Hi on the water!
The cabin was a reasonable size and kept immaculately clean by staff; unfortunately the bedding was stained with holes in it. Very disappointing.
I liked the dining at the Orion but other members of my party were not impressed. The service was excellent as usual except for the last evening when we waited 30 minutes between courses. The Lido/Sirens food (buffet) was passable but not much vegetarian choice; it was hardly a nice dining experience as I'd forgotten how awkward the set up was.
Cabin Review
The cabin was a fairly good size and kept clean and tidy as usual. Unfortunately the bedding was stained and ripped. Not pleasant
Port Reviews
Koper
Not a great deal to do and it was a Sunday so many places were closed. It is a small, pretty town with a huge tower in the centre. Little streets off the main square. The beach is large pebbles but there are a cople of small piers with steps into the water (refreshing swim to say the least!).
Venice
Unfortunatley I had to cancel the motor cruise around the islands. We have been to Venice before and, although busy, is still worth a visit and Gondeler ride. St Mark's Square is very expensive so buy out and find somewhere shaded to sit
