We had a fantastic time on Marella Discovery. Our cabin was well appointed and comfortable. The cabin stewards were very friendly and treated us like friends. The food and service was varied and excellent.
There was a problem when the propeller broke on our return to Barbados. We were kept informed on developments throughout. We were disappointed that we missed our day in Barbados but we were kept occupied on the ship.
We booked this cruise as it had 11 stops on different islands. We were not disappointed and enjoyed all of the stops on the cruise. It was good to have two sea days, particularly just after the flight to give us time to relax.

Our first cruise with Marella and our first booking with Iglu cruises. Both were good experiences. The ship is looking a little tired in places but it didn’t spoil our holiday. The staff and the food made up for it. We would book again with Iglu as their prices are competitive and the whole process from booking to receiving information about our booking was a seamless stress free experience.
