It was our first cruise and we absolutely loved and couldn’t fault a single thing.
We flew to Teneriffe from Stansted getting through the airport was a piece of cake, very quick the flight was as to be expected, the coaches were ready for us and straight to the port, they showed the safety video whilst we were queuing which was a great idea, we were on board within the hour, we got our cards on board at the muster station then we were free to explore the ship, the ship was very nice, the public areas were kept beautiful and the staff were lovely, the food in the main restaurant was excellent and we tried 2 of the special restaurants which were all great, I'm not sure it's worth doing the special ones as the food in the main restaurant is brilliant in all I would use Marella again, its a great small ship with great staff
3rd cruise with Marella, this was the second time we did Adriatic Expkorer cruise, we were so impressed with it the first time. The whole hiday was perfect and Tui staff all fantastic, couldnt fault anything, fabulous for the kids and excellent value for money. We will definitely be sailing with Marella again.
The transition from Stansted to being on board was swift and easy, the staff were friendly the food was great in all the restaurants I particularly liked the Kora La, Pan Asian food, the wine choice was quite limited on the all inclusive and they had no desert wine, just port, the ships facilities were clean tidy, and quite well presented, the shows were good and some of the singers were very good a great cruise, we will do Marella again as its great value for all inclusive
All in all an enjoyable cruise with good weather . The staff and service on board was exceptional. Entertainment was on the whole very good with a good variety of shows ,music ,activities etc .
A wonderful holiday. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Shore excursions good and cheaper than most cruise lines for the identical trip. Entertainment good. A different show every night even if you are aboard for 2 weeks. Food good and drinks included.
Had an amazing cruise around Greece and then Croatia, marella explorer is a lovely ship and the staff were amazing
Great ship very clean,staff always polite,smiling & very professional,
All-inclusive ship no worry,s of having a large bar bill at the end of a great holiday
Would highly recommend this company
We have sailed numerous times with Marella Cruises (Thomson) over the years & have always had a great experience
All in all a good cruise , entertainment was good and the service from the staff was exceptional
I couldn’t fault the cruise. This is the fourth cruise we’ve been on with Tui and every time has been amazing. The staff are fantastic, the food was great. I realise that compared to other cruise lines, Marella is probably not as classy, but it suited us perfectly. The other passengers are all down to earth which we loved.
It was a case of third time lucky for us with this cruise and yes it was worth the wait. Food and service were very good. Whilst some things are still getting back to normal, mostly things are back to pre pandemic. Enjoyed all of the places we visited, just a pity that Venice is not available any more, only with a long journey.
A good cruise with excellent service from the staff . The ship itself is not ideal in some ways but on the whole I enjoyed it
What can you say except fantastic. Fantastic service. Fantastic boat. Fantastic food. The whole package was fantastic. Can't wait to go again
Food not as good as previous cruises with this cruise line, excursions very expensive and staff very non interested in helping people be in the right place at the right time and because of the pandemic we had to go on shore on an incredibly expensive trip they only sent 1 of the lifeboats ashore and if you don't get that then they don't get you ashore,there were no announcements and we were only 3 minutes late and they said it had left but it hadn't because because of covid the passengers not staff had to help each other onto the lifeboats and because of the elderley it took much longer,I asked people who went on our trip and it left 20 minutes after the time,so we would have been able to go,the staff just couldn't be bothered to radio down to their collegues, so we missed the trip to Lerwick that I had gone on the cruise for.I have been on many trips with Thomson Marella and it is slowly cutting down on the frills,and it says all inclusive,but they are year on year adding charges to activities ,resteraunts etc that were included before,very disappointing last cruise.
