We enjoyed visiting Corfu, Slovenia, Croatia and Montenegro. Dubrovnic and Kotor are two of the "must see" European highlights.
First cruise of the Western Mediterranean and was a bit anxious and nervous. No need to be as the whole experience from being picked up at the airport in Palma to the return 7 nights later was excellent.
Once I got my bearings in the ship it was ‘ plain sailing’ …. Although when I did get a little lost I discovered other interesting things on different decks.
The excursions were wonderful and the person in charge on the bus was very knowledgeable and friendly and open to questions .She also gave advice on menus and things to be aware of in the cities.
Food was exceptional and the wine was wonderful.
The entertainment was first class
The crew were amazing and the cabin crew would do anything to make the holiday all we could wish for.
Looking to book the Eastern Mediterranean very soon …

Words cannot explain how good it was
Travelling as a solo passenger, this was a 7 night itinerary to the Caribbean starting and ending in Barbados and visiting a nice selection of varied islands, including some old favourites such as St Lucia and Grenada, but also some lesser featured stops such as Guadeloupe, Bequia and Tobago.
There was only one day at sea at the beginning of the cruise with a new port of call every day after that and plenty of choice of shore excursions, one to suit all preferences or level of mobility.
Food was plentiful and restaurants varied - some waiting for a table required at peak times in the more popular ones however a pager system meant that waiting could take place in a bar or lounge nearby.
Entertainment of a good standard and, with 2 performances most nights, timing suited both early nighters and night owls. The silent discos were a welcome addition to the programme and, as ever, good fun.
The TUI flights and transfers went very smoothly, luggage tagged for the ship at the airport and delivered to your cabin door. Ship passengers taken directly from the plane and transferred to the port for smooth and painless embarkation process - holiday could get started straight away which was much appreciated when only cruising for a week.
All in all a very enjoyable cruise which I would not hesitate in repeating in the future.
Marella cruises are just the best with out all the fuss and pomperory of the of the other cruise lines.
You can just be your self or dress up as much as you like - it's up to you!
