Review summary

Weather was not great. We stopped in Ancona, Italy. It's not listed above. But was a Sunday so totally closed. Worth a stop rather than being at Sea. But stay on board if you go.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Delays at BHX due to late arrival of Marella staff meant that the flight was delayed.

Ok food wise, plenty to eat and drink. The food in the Market Place did seem to always be luke warm though.

The shows were good apart the The 50's diner one on the last night, I would sack that off.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
The sinks didn't appear to be cleaned great even on arrival. I cleaned myself. Also there was only one day that I saw the sanitize units manned. It was just left up to you and 95% people didn't bother. I saw multiple people on different days leaving the gents without even washing their hands. Other ships wee really big on this, but there was a severe lack here. I hope it wasn't a staff resource due to illness issue.

Nice, comfy bed, didn't experience many noise issues. Just a long walk to get food ;)

Use the sanitize units everyone PLEASE
