Marella Cruises, Marella Discovery 2, Western Mediterranean and Atlantic Review

Marella Discovery 2, Western Mediterranean and Atlantic

Lovely holiday overall with a few negatives. Mainly around the drinks package for my husband who doesn't drink alcohol. He only had about 3 drinks which were fizzy despite repeatedly returning them and even the intervention of the head of the restaurant. Surely this should be simple! Across the bars it was inconsistent as to what you could drink on the basic package. It felt like going through hoops to get our drinks each day without having to pay more money. The advertised outdoor cinema with popcorn and a blanket never materialised. The trips were expensive and the all day Rome one didn't include the advertised Colosseum stop, and our 2 teenage grandsons weren't impressed by the hour long stop in a religious shop with nothing else nearby as an alternative! Despite these issues, the ship was lovely and we ate well. Lots to do and good shows. Cruises are still brilliant fun for families.
