Marella Italy Cruise Reviews

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 ...

I booked this cruise with TUI after having had several great family cruises before! However what a disappointment this one was!!!. Took my best friend for her first cruise to impress her and I wad left embarrassed. Standards have dropped. Though thankfully Staff are still amazing and the entertainment was exceptional. However, the standards of the ship was a big let down. Though more ...

It was evident that a substantial amount of money was spent on refurbishing the ship, but elements remained outdated. The itinerary of our second week was changed twice due to “construction work” and “water shortage”. This then resulted in an overnight stay in Barcelona in port. Whilst we admired the concept of the Kitchens, we found the food cold, repetitive, and restrictive over the two ...

This was my 5th marella cruise in 15 month and was terrible compared to the rest of the fleet.FOOD WAS DISGUSTING. The fried eggs where burned on the bottom and around the white, but the rest of the white was still uncooked and snotery. In the kitchens it is the same food every lunch time The beef and chicken served in the all inclusive restuarants was tough and dry. Sevice in the bars was so ...

So I’ve arrived back today after sailing on the voyager( tui ) ship for one week we were super excited to go on our first cruise , we had a good flight , but when we got to Palma airport we waited nearly a hour to get our cases. We were taking to the ship and it looked beautiful when walking on , the staff were amazing! In all departments Pippa was amazing helping us with our trips . ...

I chose this cruise for the ports visited and the access to interesting destinations nearby. This was my granddaughters first trip to this part of Europe, if you will a taster for future reference. We enjoyed the first week, the cabin was more than adequate, the housekeeping staff were exceptional and could not do enough for us. Due to the high temperatures and ill health I needed to ...

This ship might be new to Marella but it is still almost 30 years old. And it shows. Lots of soot out of the exhausts, many light bulbs not working, sewage smells in various places, showers with more silicon sealant than grout etc. The food was merely average and was mostly overcooked. Expensive in the "speciality" restaurants too. Although drinks were supposedly included we coughed up £80 for ...

We booked this cruise 18 months in advance based on the ports then the itinerary changed without us being told. Only found out when we came to book excursions. Also none of the assurances given in the Tui shop were true. All inclusive - well technically it is, but having paid for premium AI the number of drinks they ran out of made it very unworthwhile. They also ran out of food items ...

We chose Explorer 2 because of the locations visited we have done four cruises now with them over the years but now unfortunately since Covid the quality of the food is appalling Luke warm if you’re lucky and over the years I have used them the menu hasn’t changed . The staff are excellent and always a smile although some of restaurant staff don’t listen to what you want of the menu and couldn’t ...
