Iglu Cruise customer reviews for Marella Discovery 2
Lovely well maintained and very clean ship. This was my first Marella ship and I will certainly return. Cruise director was excellent although was there to cover for a few weeks. The entertainment staff were all young,the waiters and cabin crew were mostly Indonesian and always smiley. Included meals were good but plain. There were other payable restaurants. Shows were good although two were a bit too modern for me. Overall an excellent cruise. Highly recommended.
First time on a Marella been on others before. I prefer smaller ships and this one is very easy to get around on. We enjoyed it very much. Lovely staff friendly passenger. Good excursions not too badly priced. Shame the baggage handler were on strike and our plane was delayed but that was out of Tui hands and i did get an email and text about it
Everything about the ship was brilliant. Excellent from transfer from Palma airport, checking in, service, food , drink, atmosphere on board etc. Been on Discovery and loved it. Discovery 2 is just as good if not better. Week went far too quick. Only blip was Ryanair on return flight at Palma airport. They had decided to change their app but didnt let anyone know in advance. No internet available in airport to change over led to total chaos trying to check bags in. Had reservations about Ryanair but decided to give them a chance. Big mistake, Will never ever use Ryanair again.
Ship lovely, food excellent good atmosphere every where you went
