Review summary

This was our first Marella/TUI cruise and holiday which far exceeded our expectations. The all inclusive price removes the issue of giving gratuities and a large bill at the end of the cruise. The staff and crew were stunning and made the difference between a good and a great cruise.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
