The cruise was just to our liking. The staff were amazing especially Johnsen and his team in Latitude 53 plus Ram and his team keeping our cabin neat and tidy. Regards our cabin, it could do with some artwork to enhance to decor. The itinerary was the reason we chose this cruise and the ports of call did not disappoint, except for maybe Guadeloupe.

Over all was impressed with Marella cruise. Good idea having the Navigate - informs daily about everything in the cruise. Good house keeping - special mention to Chris & Ashis. Did 5 excursions- except for the Tobago excursion the rest were good. When disembarking would have appreciated if better guidance was given- which side and where to go and what to expect. Found that the reception staff not forthcoming as the rest.
