Having sailed with other cruise lines such as P&O, Ocean Village, RCI, MSC and Disney I would like to think I have gained enough experience with cruising and as such I can make unbiased informed observations and comparisons with others.
I have always wanted to try Thomson (now Marella) as they sail from my local port (North Shields – River Tyne) which makes life easier than having to take the long drive to Southampton or the inconvenience of flying to a destination so much so I was really hoping that I would enjoy this experience.
Unfortunately this was not the case.
The cabin was basic but okay, it could have been a little bit more up to date. Plug situation quite poor. Bathroom needed a good stream clean.
