Worst Ever Cruise Experience

Review for a Caribbean - All Cruise on Marella Discovery

We choose this cruise for the destinations, we did two weeks back to back Tropical Shores & Cocktail & Coconuts. The destinations didn’t disappoint and Dominica was the highlight. However the onboard experience was the worst we have ever had. If you don’t mind bad food and like to drink a lot you will probably love it. It felt like Wetherspoons at Sea but that would be doing Wetherspoons ...

We have been fortunate enough to have been on a range of holidays with various tour operators and different cruise lines. Our most recent being Cunard Line. A far cry from Marella, on pen and paper anyway. We wanted to try something new and after watching lots of reviews and videos online, we decided to give them a try and when a good deal popped up, we booked. We chose an itinerary that we ...

Appalling customer service.

The low score is a result of poor customer service. This cruise was for a special birthday and as such we researched available cabins very carefully, not being prepared to book unless a suitable cabin was available. We booked and secured a cabin and were looking forward to our cruise. On arrival the cabin key did not fit our prebooked cabin, it had been changed from mid ship, port side, to ...

Nice clean ship let down by poor entertainment and undrinkable wine

Family cruise for half term. Entertainment was very poor. Barely any entertainment during sail away, the entertainment on board was rubbish. The food in Latitude was terrible and the wine utterly undrinkable in every bar. The food was basic throughout the ship. Except the pizzas at Nonna’s were nice. My 6 year old grandson got told to leave a room where they had an air hockey table because ...

Itinerary was fine except for the fiasco of US border checks ,officers came onto the ship to check every esta and fingerprint every holidaymaker. This took all day 100 People called every half hour or so to line up and be seen .Some people waited around until 6in the evening and the ship left port at 8 so they had a couple of hours ashore in a port that was closed and dark. There were fights in ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

We travelled with Marella same embarkcation in 2022. Rebooted on the positive journey last year. The ships hygiene is poor. They don't wipe down tables after use in the Island restaurant (indoor or out) when we spoke to someone they tried to justify the lack of care due to a Customs Inspection on the day. However, whilst they removed dishes quickly, they didn't wipe at all, the entire 7 days ...

We liked the ship and found the staff very friendly and helpful. They did their best to serve you in the bars and restaurants, and also to try and keep the ship clean. The singers and musicians in the bars and around the pool where very good. The dancers and singers work very hard and we saw all the shows and enjoyed them. The food selection in the buffet and main restaurants was good, and ...

Exceptional value for money.

The balcony cabin and bathroom was lovely, and maintained to a lovely standard. The staff are fantastic, with special acknowledgement to Leandro (Atrium Bar), Ni (Sushi restaurant) and Rodrigo (Bar 11), who were exceptional. The drinks package was well worth the additional £90, with quality premium drinks available. The main downfall was the food, it was difficult to book into the ...

Voyager is really a 7 day ship

I thought I would take this opportunity to write a review of our 2 week (7 day back to back ) Caribbean Island Cruise on the Marella Voyager. 21st Jan to 4th Feb 2024. We booked it for my 60th birthday which fell mid holiday. Having only been on one cruise previously ( 10 days Mediterranean on Celebrity ) we stiil feel we are relative novices at this type of holiday. Before I start to make my ...

Overcrowded and understaffed

Overall this was a very disappointing cruise. It was always overcrowded with limited sunbeds during sea days and seats in the evening. Everywhere you went you had to queue up. We only ever had the use of a waiter on two occasions in a fortnight. Every drink had to be queued for at the bar. The service was really poor. A great selection of drinks to enjoy when eventually you did get ...
