I'm not a snob, far from it, but some of the clientele need to take a long hard look at themselves. Our 6th cruise - RCCL x 4, MSC x 1 Cabin - Outside 7/10 Cabin Stewards 9/10 Main dining room 4/10 Sushi 10/10 Surf & Turf 10/10 Tapas 8/10 Islands 9/10 Bar 11 9/10 - smoked drinks fantastic, staff doing their best but still waiting for them to get to you.

We had been on the Marella Discovery before and even cruises on the sister ship Marella Discovery 2 last year. We decided to go on another cruise with my Parents and my Brother and Siater-in-law for my Parents 50th golden wedding anniversary. It started out ok with the only gripe was we were not able to book the Surf and Turf speciality restaurant on the day we embarked (11/10/2019), as we missed ...

Corfu airport waiting 45min for luggage then 30min bus ride to port after checking in 15 min walk to ship. Arrived on board at 22.30 and after finding our ...

Boarded ship on the 5th August at Palma, cabin was really a good size on deck seven. Looked round the ship which seemed really good as we have been on quite a few thompson cruises and this was the most impressive of there ships to date. We then called in for a meal at the self service resturant the island, that's when things went down hill, we could not find a seat and the selection of food was ...

We cruised with Thompson in 2016 & were very pleased so booked again but TUI were a big disappointment.We found the Doctor & medical staff charming, informative & helpful. Once a week there was a BBQ on deck 9 which was great. Our stewardess, Ludymilla & the lad helping here were very polite & 3 members of bar staff were exceptional, Jonathan, Denny & Prince. However: 1.On our arrival in our ...

I booked the Discovery in July last year, having thoroughly enjoyed cruising with Thomson on The Dream on 5 occasions. However, by the time of the refit, the ship was now TUI Discovery, which was sadly a very disappointing experience for both myself and my husband. Embarkation at Palma was smooth and efficient, but where as in the past we were shown to our cabin, this time a steward pointed to ...

Everybody kept saying that Thomson's had a new cruise ship and that we should try it! I won't ever listen to them again ! What a disappointment! When you spend £5000 you expect a good holiday, at least 4 star. Our cabin was great, stewards were 1st class, but the rest of the ship was like Butlins holiday camp on water ! No dress code, even though when we booked they said there were nights when ...

We chose this cruise for the ports of call I.e Rome, Barcelona . And because we had been on this ship before when it was r c splendour what a disappointment, service was dreadful everywhere understaffed, not enough mangers to assist or call in, food poor choice and very repetative, impossible to get a drink without having to wait over 20 minutes the staff not trained enough some had no idea what ...

On arrival at ship, the cabin was not ready with bedding all over the floor with half consumed cocktails at the side of the bed. It had definitely been slept in (Strange for the first voyage of this ship). The balcony door would not open and after ringing reception 3 times it was put right by myself The trips from Corsica and the trip to Florence and Rome were great. On the last day we went ...
