Marella Explorer

We had one unfortunate occurrence. On the 2nd night, at around 4a.m. in the morning, we were awoken by the dripping of water(?) which we discovered was coming from the ceiling of our inside cabin, and dripping (alarmingly) onto a bedside lamp and the telephone. We immediately contacted Reception, who evacuated us to a temporary cabin for the remainder of the night, so that we could at least try to go back to sleep, with just the bare essentials - night clothes, a change of clothes, toiletries and medications. After we came back from breakfast, at around 9a.m. we were told that we would have to be permanently moved from our original cabin to another one, and we had to moved all our belongings, and clothes which we had hung up. We were placed in an upgrade cabin with a balcony. To be fair - there was little more that Marella could do, but it caused a lot of disruption to us, and the upgrade cabin with balcony was very welcome.
One other point, there was a lot of confusion (and expense) about COVID testing before departure, and we were asked to do unnecessary testing, which was immediately repeated on arrival in Corfu.
Also we felt that some of the food could have been of better quality.
