We had been on the celebration last year and thought it was very good value for money. The itinerary was great for the discovery 2 so thought we would give it a go.
The ship is big and newer than the celebration. Impressive when you arrive.
Luggage delivered to door of cabin with no issue and in a reasonable time. Everything was clean and tidy (I think the only thing I saw which had a bit ...
Outside cabin well fitted out and always kept clean and tidy by excellent steward.
All staff friendly and helpful, though they seemed very short staffed in the resatuarnt so all waiters seemed to look after too many tables so we often waited a while for drinks to arrive.
Food seemed better in week two or had we just got used to it. The stanadrds did seem to vary depending on your meal ...
We chose this cruise for two things , first that it covered Christmas and New year, secondly it was going to Cuba.
Flight from Gatwick to Montego Bay was good no problems , arrival was chaotic , wrong forms for immigration given out so had to fill new ones while standing in a long line. Embarkation at port no problem.
Cabin allocated was on deck 2 with a large window. Good size with a sofa ...
Was on this ship in April doing Cuban Fusion and had a great time. No complaints so we decided to do Pride of Panama this time.
We booked a Oceanview cabin 2062 but was upgraded to a balcony 6516 which we didn’t know about until at the Airport we meet another couple an upon talking to them they also were assigned cabin 2062. So we assumed one of us would be moved.
We didn’t attend any of the ...
Pride of Panama and Cuban Fusion Cruise
The flight from Gatwick took off at 9.30am and was a 10 hr flight due to a head wind the flight back was only 8hrs and 10 mins. On arrival at Jamaica at 2.30pm it was a bit chaotic having to fill in Immigration forms which were handed to us while queueing, it would have helped if these we given on the flight as it held things up and took nearly 30 mins to ...
We have cruised more than 60 times on a variety of cruise lines and while we do have favourites I nevertheless feel able to provide unbiassed reviews on any ship I cruise on. In my view Marella Discovery 2 is somewhat of a gem in the Marella fleet. Previously Royal Caribbean’s Legend of the Seas it transferred to then TUI, now Marella and first saw service under that brand in May 2017. We ...
Wanted to visit Havana and limited in choice as not a fan of MSC.
Liked the Tui dreamliner flights in premium economy.
Pleasantly surprised at how good the condition of this older ship was.
Great staff and cruise director made it very relaxed .
Food was very good and drink package covered most tastes.
Only £50 to upgrade if you want top brands.
Would definitely book with Tui ...
My cruise was a 70th birthday gift, the most disappointing aspect was the change in the itinerary. they took out three of the ports we really wanted to see. The ship is okay, showing it's age a little, but the cruise was 18 nights all inclusive and I didn't consider the price to be expensive. The staff were very good overall, some still in training in the 47 dining room I think, but the food ...
Chose this cruise as it aligned with our holidays.
Loved the atrium in the ship. This was a great focal point, especially to enjoy a few drinks. Deck 9 was always a hive of entertainment, which was great but meant it wasn’t always easy to get a seat in the sun and not ideal for a quiet read. It is a shame the lower decks did not get the sun.
All the staff with the exception of those at ...
We chose this cruise as our first because it was advertised as all-inclusive,which appealed to our budget.It was a wonderful week, where we enjoyed good food and drinks in a variety of locations aboard ship and met some lovely people.The crew were exemplary;performing their jobs in a most courteous and friendly manner.The entertainment was varied and very good-no excuses to be bored.We didn't ...
