Marella Discovery - Reviews

This was such a great cruise! Mainly due to the staff and everything we were able to do on board - we didn’t really need to leave the ship!

Was on the ship for 2 weeks traveling around Aisa. Ship was great but a little tired in parts. Crew were fantastic and could not really fault anything.

Just had 2 weeks cruising around Asia, one special trip. From boarding in langkawi we loved it. Singapore and Bangkok were our highlights though most other stops we're also Good, the ship didn't feel overcrowded, excellent shows and some great meals in the restaurant and buffet. Just one downside, the flight home at 13.5 hours, still u can't have everything lol

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.

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.

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.

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.

we thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish, the time in ports were great, no rushing about to get everything packed in. We found It a very friendly Ship and a great experience, certainly sail with you again Thanks

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.

Really enjoy these Discovery ships, like the Atrium wow factor, the glass lifts, Staff always v friendly, Only wish the swimming pools were fresh water AND heated
