So …….. For my Wife's Birthday I surprised her with the Spanish Delights TUI Cruise aboard the Marella Dream. Have Cruised with TUI previously so knew what to expect ( more or less ) - The Dream is an 'older' lady however, the crew do an amazing job of cleaning / maintenance albeit often at inappropriate times !
Cabin: on deck seven ( 7139 ) highly recommended, our cabin steward was amazing! - aim for mid ships if you can, its nearer the restaurants / bars / show lounges. The air conditioning however is a nuisance, gave me endless sore throats.
Food: ……. ah' the all important food was ………. appalling at times, forever cold / tasteless / 'odd' ! How bout' Beef Stroganoff cooked with whole lemons that were cut in half and then 'stewed'-in with the gravy !!! totally disgusting - off putting to say the least.
Large Outside Cabin, midships - kept immaculately clean by our cabin steward Candi, Large comfy bed, sofa bed also.Hated the shower - it was powerful / hot but placed at a strange angle - you had to lean sideways to get under it ! TV in the cabin is fed to the rooms on a 'loop' / pre-recorded mind numbing dross.
Travelled 14 hours to get to the ship hence to tired to go ashore. Plus the main town is beyond walking distance.
