Lovely smaller ship with fab food & more intimate than some of the larger ships we’ve been on. Cabin a bit tired though.
Out first time with Marella. I liked the fact that flights, transfers, gratuities and drinks package was all in the price. Service OK, food not very inspired, drinks quality varied greatly from bar to bar. Entertainment reasonable but I've seen better. Our toilet was broken for 2 days as was others in our part of the ship. The stench was awful.
Good value for money, everything included.
Friendly helpful staff and great entertainment .
Good selection of ports.
Apart from 1 missed port due to bad weather this was one of the best cruises we have been on staff,food&drinks,cabin, entertainment and service excellent truly got spoilt was on deck 6 inside cabin
A cruise made memorable for a day and a half stop in Cuba, where we had a chance to go in a 1950s American car and visit club Tropicana. The trip on the Cayman Island expensive and over rated. The live music onboard limited to a so so band and a reggae group which became tiresome. The theatre shows,however, were good.
I have been on 25 cruises and I am happy to say that the crew on this ship were the best I have sailed with
A really good cruise but a couple of things let it down. Embarking and disembarking were both too long. We have been on a marella cruise during COVID and that was much better! Can't fault the staff, they were all fantastic. Sunbed hogging guests was disappointing to see. Overall a great cruise.
We set off from Majorca and headed to the Carribbean. It was good value but too many sea days brought out bad behaviour in some guests. Reserving sun beds at stupid o clock,even reserving some in the sun and some in the shade!! It kind of spoilt the experience. Having said that we met some lovely people and the staff were fantastic.
We started cruising with Marella in 2014 visiting many destinations in Europe and the Caribbean.We have always found the food and staff to be first class and enjoyed many excursions through the company.The problem now is since they introduced all inclusive standards have dropped and all it is now is a glorified booze cruise with passengers squabbling and fighting.
We’ve done about 40 cruises with different cruise lines and it’s the best holiday for the money
The guest demographics have significantly changed its a younger guest who is more interested in drinking 24/7, the standards of entertainment were very poor daily deck quiz was run by some who couldn't pronounce the name of a very famous actor, tin can alley, target bean bag, even the performers who came out to do a show were that poor the audience walked out, I think it's a area that as seen significant cost cutting,
The cruise we were on was called the pride of Panoma we didn't get there due to engineering issues, the time ashore wasn't long enough it was more quantity than quality,
Covid discovered on board ship so quarantined in port at Barbados
Enjoyed cruise,been with Marella before
but thought it just missed something.Food didn't think was as good as normal also the drinks and cocktails not as good.Husband got served a flat pint of draught cider.Trips were well organized.The theatre entertainment was good but lacked other venues where the same entertainment each night,not enough variety x
