The cruise staff were very friendly, attentive and willing to please. No request was too much to ask and the towel creations each night were a bonus. There were plenty of food options on board and I particularly enjoyed the musical afternoon tea which was well worth the extra £15. Each port was walking distance from the town and had good excursion options. My favourite was the Slovenian Postjana Caves which was a bucket list activity. To improve I’d suggest having a two week schedule for entertainment and it began to feel repetitive. I also felt the 30 minute wait for some restaurants wasn’t justified when I could see plenty of empty tables. For my first cruise this was a great experience and I’d now consider doing another cruise.
Such hard working people who are very attentive. Entertainment very good, all in all a great cruise.
We preferred to explore on our own instead of booking excursions. We would have given the cabin 5 stars except the aircon was sometimes unpredictable and quite noisy, and on the second last day staff cleaned the carpet and left a wet hoover in the cabin just when we were trying to get ready for dinner. The carpet was pretty wet. We didn’t know why they were doing it: no communication. But everything else was fantastic. This was our first Marella cruise and we will definitely do another.
We had a lovely holiday weather was not great, good entertainment on the cruise ship, food was good, staff were friendly. We think the cabins need a refit; they look tired and old.
