Passing our local TUI travel agency we noticed a "Manager's special" for this cruise and enquired within. The dates coincided perfectly with the half term school holiday, an inset day, and our daughter's leave week. In addition the second day of the cruise was our granddaughter's birthday and this would be her first flight on an airplane though not her first cruise. The price offered made it a no ...

This was an enjoyable cruise and excellent itinerary but one or two things stop me from giving it a five * rating. The Good: 1. Food was generally of a very high standard (with one exception detailed below) 2. Staff are as friendly and jovial as ever 3. Cabin was comfortable, if a little rough around the edges. 4. All ports of call were enjoyable: Koper, Trieste, Dubrovnik and ...

I read some reviews before we went on this ship and was preparing myself for the worst but I needn't have worried it is as good as the other 2 that we have been on Disco2/ Explo2 , different layout to the others imho for the better, yes there are areas that need attention but I read one review where they were moaning about lightbulbs being out, I do believe that if you let negativity kick in then ...

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 ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 40s

So this was my first ever cruise and I went with my mother who hadn't had a proper holiday for a very long time. It was all quite exciting as there was a lot to pack in during our time. The ship was very clean, the staff super friendly and they always say hello to you. Our cabin in deck 4 was adequate with a nice window view of the sea. The beds were comfortable. We did have a problem with ...

The overall rating of the cruise may sound harsh for the sub ratings but hear me out. Overall ship: As others have pointed out, the Marella Voyager has been refurbished but it’s not a new ship. You can see old wood decor and wood ikea-type furnishing in the cabins. The facilities and plumbing appeared to be older but we never had any issues with this. I don’t know whether it is due to the ...

This was a last minute cruise. Feeling fed up with the British summer, we decided to try the newest ship in the Marella fleet. We have been on all the other ships. We also knew it would be busy with lots of families in board. Flights and transfer to ship were seamless and very quickly we were in board. We had booked a large balcony cabin, but hadn't selected our cabin number. We were on deck10 ...

Other reviews are unduly negative - in my opinion

Was quite worried after reading some of the earlier reviews of the newly refurbished boat but having just returned I hope I can reassure you all. This was our 7th cruise with Tui/Marella. Many aspects of the ship and facilities were familiar. Food and drink The all inclusive package offers a good range of dining options and drinks. We paid for a meal at Kora La and I think this is worth the ...

We booked this cruise, our first with Marella, some 10 months ago. Between times we sailed on Explorer round the Canaries in February, and based on that experience we wouldn’t have booked Marella again. Poor food in every outlet, lousy wine and why the Canary ports are popular is a mystery to us. Discovery 2 from Palma in August was visiting a wide range of cities and some smaller ports over a ...

Party: 2 adults from England, aged 29 and 64, previously cruised twice with Marella (Dream and Explorer 2), with NCL 4 times (Jade, Breakaway and Prima), and 3 other cruises in the early 00s on now defunct lines. We don't have any disabilities and we didn't use the casino, so we can't comment on these aspects, and this was an adults only ship. The sailing is listed as 'Sail Three Seas', but we ...
