Our first cruise ever. We loved the whole experience thanks to the captain and his entire crew! They couldn’t do enough and made us feel special. There was a great selection of food and the restaurants were amazing. Housekeeping came in every evening for the turn down of the bed and was always a couple of chocolates on the bed. We had a suite which was roomy and comfortable. The balcony was furnished with table, chairs and loungers. The entertainment was fantastic and the interaction between the captain and the entertainment organiser was entertaining. We loved every aspect of our cruise and are planning another with Marella.
