Another fabulous cruise with Marella.
Friendliest staff a float.
I would say that staffing levels have been stripped back to bare minimum but service is still with a smile. Need to allow extra dining time due to this.

I had a great time on Marella Discovery 2.
Staff were lovely, food great apart from one meal. Entertainment very good.
All inclusive is great though it annoys me that the man sitting next to me, can order several cans of beer, yet my elderly mum who I'm travelling with and has one alcoholic drink a day, cannot have a nice can of cola, unless she pays extra, and instead has to have the horrible stuff from the bar mixer tap. It just seems a bit unfair. The all inclusive should be more balanced.
* Please note - Itineraries calling into Venice and Dubrovnik will incur a small tourist tax per person, this will be added to your onboard account during the cruise.

It’s also a hotspot for comfortable cafes, restaurants serving flavourful food, and lively bars; so, you’ll certainly have a relaxing time while soaking up the sunshine here. However, Alanya isn’t just about relishing in the incredible atmosphere of a Mediterranean resort. You’ll find some impressive hiking routes as you head further inland, and Alanya’s historic city centre is home to an abundance of historic sites worth seeing – Alanya Castle, which you won’t be able to miss when you arrive, dates back to the 13th century! A welcoming destination where the new and the old exist harmoniously to create a truly unique adventure, there’s something for everyone to enjoy in Alanya.
Things to do in Alanya:
Alanya Castle & the Red Tower
Built throughout the early 13th century, with completion recorded as 1226, Alanya Castle was constructed over Byzantine and Roman fortifications on an elevated rocky peninsula in the heart of Alanya. Once an active defensive fortification, Alanya castle was transformed into a residential area throughout the 19th century following the Ottoman Empire’s pacification of the region. Now, you can find an open-air museum within. Similarly, the Red Tower – which was also constructed by 1226 and designed to protect the shipyard here – now hosts the Museum of Alanya. It remains one of the best-preserved Seljuk structures in the city and a symbol of Alanya.
Kleopatra Beach
Named for Cleopatra VII, Queen of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt from 51 BC to 30 BC and one of the most famous women in history, Kleopatra Beach is a stunning stretch of white-sand beachfront bordering on bright blue waters and the Mediterranean Sea. A stone’s throw from the heart of Alanya, and enjoying warm weather throughout the year, this beach is a great place for sun lounging and water sports alike. You’re not going to regret spending an afternoon soaking up the glorious Mediterranean sunshine here.
Damlatas Cave
An incredible beachfront cave system just a short distance from Alanya’s city centre, Damlatas Cave is home to an impressive abundance of stalactites and stalagmites formed over 15,000 years. Discovered largely by accident in 1948, the cave is said to be able to cure respiratory issues like asthma – with the cave itself being popularly known as the ‘asthma-cure cave’. With air in the cave containing a high percentage of carbon dioxide and consistently high humidity, there may be some truth to these claims. However, those who come for the cure spend four hours a day, every day for 21 days, in the cave itself.
