Iglu Cruise customer reviews for Marella Discovery 2
Marella Discovery 2 is a lovely friendly ship. The crew go above and beyond to make your holuday perfect. The choice of restaurants was excellent as we sometimes struggled to find something we both liked in the main restaurant. However with the Italian restaurant, Piccadilly, Kora La and Surf n Turf we didn’t go hungry! The island buffet offered a good choice at breakfast, lunch and gad theme nights.
Had a wonderful time aboard D2 with friends. The food and service was very good especially our cabin cleaning team. Everybody crew wise on board cannot do enough to please you. We have done many cruises and find Marella very good value for money. We only did one excursion booked with the ship which was well organised but we find our own way using local taxis to visit beaches with no trouble and cost effective. The all inclusive drinks we find are more than adequate for our needs with decent quality. Our cabin was dated and in need of refurbishment but was again adequate as we only shower and sleep with little time spent in there. Would we book again? Absolutely 😎
Fantastic two weeks in the Caribbean, staff amazing, food very good, excursions ridiculously expensive, we had to start going on trips from the local ports which were half the price.
We have just returned from an absolutely wonderful cruise on Discovery 2, and we cannot speak highly enough about the entire experience. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations and made for a truly memorable holiday. A special mention must go to our cabin team - Hendar, Francisco and Johnson. They were absolutely fabulous throughout the cruise. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they kept our cabin spotless and beautifully organised every single day. Their friendly smiles and thoughtful touches really made us feel welcome and well looked after. It’s the small personal details that make such a difference, and they certainly delivered. The restaurant team - Mark, Sharlaine and Kyawt were equally amazing. The service was consistently attentive, warm and professional. They quickly got to know our preferences and always made dining a relaxed and enjoyable experience. It felt personal rather than routine, which we truly appreciated. The entertainment on board was fantastic. There was a great variety of shows and activities to suit all tastes, and the performers were extremely talented. Each evening felt special, and we found ourselves genuinely looking forward to what was coming next. The food throughout the cruise was excellent, with a wide and varied choice available every day. Whether at breakfast, lunch or dinner, there was always something delicious to try. The quality was consistently high, and everything was beautifully presented. We particularly appreciated the range of options catering to different tastes, ensuring there was something for everyone. Overall, we had an incredible 2 weeks on Discovery 2. The combination of outstanding staff, superb food, great entertainment and a lovely atmosphere made this a holiday to remember. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment and would wholeheartedly recommend this cruise to anyone considering it. We would not hesitate to sail again!
