We have cruised many times with Marella, but this repositioning transatlantic cruise was awful!.
The cruise was an ambition for my wife and I, but right from the start, the whole experience was a farce, 1st we got an email saying our flight had been changed - it hadn't.
When we arrived at the cruise terminal in Palma, we had to queue for nearly 2hrs to get on the ship, the staff offered us ...
29/10/22 Transatlantic Discoveries Cruise, 17 nights, Palma to Jamaica. Having cruised for nearly 20 years (& done several similar transatlantic cruises on both Thomson & P & O), sadly this was not the best cruise experience because of the 10 sea days, 6 days being consecutive. In the past we’ve found the sea days very relaxing but not this time because we experienced the worst daily sunbed ...
We went on a transatlantic cruise to the Caribbean on board Marella Discovery2 in October / November 2022.
What was good about the cruise:
* The ship visited all the ports on the dates and times advertised.
* The cabin was excellent and the stewards were friendly and looked after us well.
* A wide variety of free entertainments was available on board - theatre shows, line dancing, ...

My first Marcella Cruise I found the ship and crew and staff very helpful it was also my 1st all inclusive and there was no shortage of drinks all over the ship you had just put your empty glass down and bar staff were rushing to give you a refill cocktail of the day was always yummy the entertainment was first class and so professional that comment was heard all over the ship by passengers the ...
My partner and I chose Marella Discovery 2 as I had previously been on a smaller cruise (formerly with Thomson) and as it was his first cruise. Also we wanted to do something special/memorable for my 50th birthday. The price was reasonable, and we split 2 cruises over 2 weeks which made the choice of locations more interesting. We also wanted to see different places rather than just spend 14 ...
I was so happy when I saw Sunwing was again offering this Pride of Panama almost all inclusive cruise. We had taken it on Thomson Dream in Feb. 2016 & then didn't see it last year so were really happy we got it this time. It was good value with flight, cabin, transfers, drink package included & NO tipping!
The Marella Discovery 2 is a lovely ship, a nice size with a great CD, happy dining room ...
We chose the Cuban Fusion and Pride of Panama 'back-to-back' cruises for their itineraries and this was our first Thomson/Tui/Marella cruise, although we have cruised with three other lines previously.
The Pros:
Check in at Gatwick and Montego Bay was simple and the arrangements made for luggage transfer were very good.
Transfers from Montego Bay to the ship and from the ship to Montego ...
