Booking at least minute we feel we had good value for money. Thoroughly enjoyed our cruise and would cruise again with Marella as they have the best itinerary IMO

Could have been better by andycha

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Marella Discovery

Given this was Discovery’s 1st full Caribbean cruise post COVID things could have been much worse. We cruised COVID free and made all but one of our scheduled islands. COVID protocols were in place and obviously working well at the time. Wearing masks inside was a minor inconvenience and we were more than happy to do so just to get back on board and cruise the beautiful Caribbean again😁. Hopefully the embarkation, slow service, and variety of food will improve as time goes by. Overall we were very happy with Discovery and the price we had paid and look forward to returning if we can find a bargain for March😆

Good overall given what’s going on with Coronavirus. by colmart45

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Marella Discovery / Destination: Asia & Indian Ocean

Some of the ports were in the middle of no where which was disappointing with 1.5 - 3hr drives to get to see the sites.(Phu My and Laem Chabang Port Klang. Placing a half day stop in in Malacca was also pointless as tenders could not get everyone off in time.

Colours of the Far East by Paulsie

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Marella Discovery

My dream cruise never disappointed at all it was all good even the muddy Cambodia but if you go to the Vietnam war museum my words when I came out was disturbing ! The experience left me numb I have never seen such graphic photos of war in my life it left me speechless when we came out I actually said to my wife don’t look at this next picture.

Amazing Asia, Terrible TUI by Deano68

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Marella Discovery / Destination: Asia & Indian Ocean

Overall a good cruise but an engine fire in the 9th put a downer on the first week and poor communication did not help, second week was fantastic.

Asia cruise by starbar69

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Marella Discovery

We enjoyed our cruise this site doesn’t have all the ports we stopped at we went to a lot more than it’s says ship is a bit dated and did have problems with one of the engines catching fire so we missed one of the ports we had a junior suite which meant we had our own sun loungers on our balcony so you didn’t have to go in communal areas

Lovely Intinery by Vanjam23

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Marella Discovery / Destination: Europe

Discovery is a lovely ship but could do with a lot more seating in the atrium and the live room, there's a lot of wasted space which could be occupied with a few chairs.

Lovely locations, average ship by worth2

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Marella Discovery / Destination: Europe

Decent ship but disappointed with our suite having had a much better one on the previous ship. Some nice destinations but Santorini should be given a huge miss, massively over-run with tourists and very difficult to get to and from the town to the ship. Big disappointment. Turkey was a pleasant surprise (our first visit there), Zakythos was lovely. Athens busy but interesting, Crete lovely. Corfu airport is a nightmare.

Fantastic 2 weeks back to back Cruising by Philleights

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Marella Discovery / Destination: Europe

We sailed on the Discovery two years ago and fell in love with the ship. Couldn't wait to get back on in Aug 2019 for two weeks which did not disappoint. Nothing is too much trouble for all staff - bar/restaurant/cabin/entertainment. Captain Chris is a one off. His humorous tannoy announcements and his mixing with holiday makers was refreshing. He was friendly and chatty and not afraid to get stuck in with his crew - even dancing on a number of occasions.

Great Marella Cruise by GrahamPauline

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Marella Discovery / Destination: Europe

Once again, another great Marella Cruise. This was our third with Marella having previously been on Discovery 2 and this ship the year before. As always we were well looked after by a very good and competent crew. The food and entertainment was of the usual high standard. The ports of call were all good with the exception of Taranto which we felt was still catching up with tourism -although some would say this is a good thing. Our main gripe was with the TUI flight to Corfu for embarkation which was delayed from 05.15 t0 08.00. Although we were notified the day before, we were still expected to arrive at the airport at the original check-in time. This meant an unnecessarily long wait at the airport and made for a very long day. Overall it was another good trip with Marella and exceptional value for money being all inclusive. Would recommend to anyone.

Excellent first cruise experience by Neil6095

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Marella Discovery / Destination: Europe

Wasn’t sure what to expect and as it’s my first cruise I can’t compare it but I had a really nice time, looking to book our next cruise, even on same ship so it must have been good.
