Marella Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

Currently on board Discovery 2 this ship is very tired with threadbare carpet on the stairs showers with no water pressure, food is ok but nothing special ate in the Kora La yet again not brilliant but ok, we are regular cruisers with tui and all i can say is this is the worst ship in the fleet. We had a junior suite the balcony was disgusting rust and flaking paint, you no longer get clarins ...

TUI choose what ports they dock at during the cruise, they choose what excursions to include and sadly, on both counts, this was awful. The excursions to rome and barcelona both had long coach trips around the cities and then being dropped on the outskirts of the city with no map or guide. During the coach trip around the city the guide in the bus pointed out things but if you were slow, or on the ...

We have just returned from the Western Mediterranean cruise on Marella Voyager and sadly this is the worst holiday we've had. It was supposed to be a special holiday, we really wanted to visit Italy and thought this would be a good way of doing so. To begin, I'll give a review of the facilities. We booked a balcony cabin which was lovely - much more spacious than we expected, nicely ...

We really enjoyed our time on the Voyager . The new furnishings were lovely and bright and well thought out. Our cabin was clean and most importantly the bed was very comfortable. Cabins are cleaned every day. Staff are friendly always smiling and asking how your day went on your return. The food on board was good and catered for all tastes. We have been on Marella cruises before and found ...

On reading some of the passengers reviews I think we must have been on a different ship !! My friend and myself have cruised with Marella many times and we both agreed that the trip on Voyager was the best yet …. The food was excellent , we ate breakfast and lunch in The Kitchens and evening meal in Latitude . A varied choice of meals each evening . The waiting staff were attentive and polite at ...

From embarking to disembarking we had an amazing time!!!! We tried a balcony cabin for the first time and it was a brilliant choice. Cabin staff were very efficient and friendly. We dined every night in the Latitude 53 restaurant as the food and staff were exceptional, we also had the pleasure of dining on Paul Dalandan's (Quality Paul!!) dining station along with his wonderful team every ...

This was my first cruise and I was uncertain that I would like it. I had a fab time and would now definitely cruise again. What I liked about this ship was the friendly, informal atmosphere. The entertainment was really great from the extremely slick Broadway type shows (the singing and dancing were excellent) to the gameshows in the Squid and Anchor pub. Quizzes and other entertainments were ...

We choose Marella because we could depart from a local airport, and the most important to us were the destinations. Another plus was only one sail day in the week. The destinations lived up to our expectations and the sail into Koper was lovely. However, we found the dining below average, two meals were sent back. They were aware of problems, new staff, poorly trained and hadn’t worked as a ...

Was getting a little worried seeing all the negative reviews but I was pleased with my return to the Discovery 2 and my first cruise since Covid and as a solo traveller. The staff, food and general ambience of the ship were very good. Being the first full week of September, very were very few children onboard which was a new experience. I had a deluxe balcony cabin on deck 7 which was very nice ...

With 30+ cruises under my belt as a travel writer I hope this will be helpful. Cruise companies around the world are cost cutting to retrieve cash lost during Covid, and this was blatently obvious on the latest adventure on Marella Discovery 2. Allegedly an "all inclusive" cruise, TUI levied daft charges for small bottles of water, charged for room service, relied on port authorities to provide ...
