Iglu Cruise customer reviews for Marella Discovery
Talented artists who play around the clock covering all musical genres. Caring and professional restaurant staff . Cleaners go the extra mile, ensuring hygiene and comfort are beyond expectations Awesome cruise and perfect cultural itinerary. Thank you, to all Marella staff for exceptional service. Captain awesome 👌
Lovely food across all restaurants including buffet restaurant, excellent service, friendly, helpful staff throughout the ship. Good shows in the broadway lounge, some of the evening entertainment could be better. Overall no complaints but ship could do with an update, only 1 electrical output socket in room and looking a bit tired but kept very clean.
