This was our first cruise to celebrate our honeymoon. For some experienced cruisers the Marella Dream may seem dated but for us this added to its overall charm. The ship is also smaller than many of its competitors but again this encouraged a much friendlier welcoming atmosphere onboard. The standard of service throughout the vessel was exceptional across the restaurants and the bar areas and lounges. The staff pride themselves on giving the best service to everyone onboard. The standard of food was excellent in all the restaurants and eating areas from the basic buffet through to the 3 a la carte restaurants. Our cabin was exceptionally comfy although I would recommend spending a bit more and upgrading, we had a premier cabin. Our cabin steward also added little touches of service which made the trip memorable. The entertainment was first class with different themed musical events every night produced to a very high standard. Overall I would thoroughly recommend this cruise to anyone. It was first class.
