Iglu Cruise customer reviews for Marella Discovery
Fabulous Holiday ! We booked last minute and so pleased we did ! We enjoyed every element of our holiday from the moment we booked until arriving home. We were so well looked after.
We had a wonderful time, loved the ship. Our group had cabins 2072 and 2074 which yet have to be refurbished but we didn’t mind as our cabin cleaning crew were exceptional, ( Aksama, Kurnadi and Agung) they work so hard. Some of the wine in the all inclusive was not so good, we found it was always nice in the restaurants and indoor bars. The food was really good, we ate mostly in the sit down restaurants and other times in the buffet, there was always lots to choose from. We loved the afternoon tea which was on in the buffet restaurant some afternoons.
A good itinerary that offered the chance to visit some ports of call not always available. A good length of time in port too. We took a number of Marella excursions and these were generally well organised and interesting. The ship is conveniently sized, small enough to easy find everything and large enough to offer a decent range of facilities. That said the entertainment on board was a little limited and the show-cast were not the best. Value for money is excellent with Marella and apart from the dreadful internet on-board (I can't recommend anyone pay for this) and the stained towels, it's all pretty good.
Staff were professional, kind ,and helpful. Ship was clean. Entertainment was excellent different shows every night and for those who enjoyed partying it carried on until early hours. The food was good . Trips out were generally excellent.
