This is the 15th Marella/Thomson cruise that my wife and I have done.
We left our cases at the bag drop at Birmingham Airport and didn't see them again until outside our cabin door a couple of hours after our embarkation.
Our transfer bus was on the airport tarmac waiting for us, a case of getting off the plane and walking 30 yards to the bus. No need to go into airport building, 40 minutes later we were at the arrivals hall for a quick smooth embarkation.
Inside cabin clean and tidy, everthing you need really. Free safe makes a nice change.
Shower enclosure very small with shower curtain having all the atributes of "Clingfilm"
