Marella Voyager Reviews

This was our second cruise with Marella. Last time it was Explorer 2 and this time Voyager. The embarkation in Tenerife went smoothly and we soon settled into our balcony cabin. The shower in the bathroom is the best I have had on any cruise ship. The food was generally good. Sometimes not as hot as it might to be. The Kitchens buffet offered good variety of food although it does get repetitive as the menu only changes a little each day. Latitude 53 was good as was the Italian. Entertainment was generally good. The shows were colourful and energetic. Shore excursions are reasonably priced and we enjoyed them. Sometimes more walking than publicised so my partner had to remain on coach. Overall great value for money and very enjoyable.

First time on a Marella cruise, we sailed on the Marella Voyager around the Canary Islands staff were very friendly couldn’t do enough for you in all areas ie bar staff restaurant staff entertainment staff and cabin staff who kept our cabin clean a tidy throughout the cruise ( we stayed in cabin 10004 ) me and my wife will definitely cruise again on a Marella ship.

Good food, good service, good entertainment. It's an old ship and doesn't have the grand atrium and glitz and glamour of some modern cruise ships but it's well appointed with pleasant decor and decent public spaces.

Appreciated service in the buffet rather than serve yourself. Missed the carved meats at lunchtime to have with salads. Enjoyed the ship staff and entertainment excellent.

Yet again a fantastic well organised cruise from start to finish, even at Tenerife Airport which we were dreading, all went smoothly, transferred to the ship with ease and booking in process as good as always, food & service throughout the week was excellent, not too sure though about 'The Kitchens' on Voyager, waiting to be served rather then being able to help yourself, at the more popular serving stations there was always a queue. Entertainment top quality. Faultless experience as always, looking forward to the next.

Everything fine on cruise but when it came to disembarking we were left on our own, no one to direct us to the luggage holding bay . When we found someone we were sent to the wrong place and had to go to another place. Very distressing. A real letdown

The weather was poor which Marella had no control over of course. Entertainment overall very good. Great crew, great atmosphere and kept spotless. It lost a half star for the weather and the rest for some poor quality premium food. Lobster was inedible, scallops were tiny and stringy and although steak cooked perfectly the quality of the meat was below what I expected for the supplement paid. Lamb was top notch. Generally the fare on offer was pretty good and huge choice. Pizzas and breakfast excellent. Basic alcohol and wine on offer was very good too.

Great trip on Voyager around the Canary Islands. Lovely ship ,great staff all very friendly and helpful. Everywhere kept spotlessly clean around the ship and in cabin. Great choice of food both in restaurants and kitchen buffet area,all areas kept well stocked with both food and cutlery,crockery etc. Captain Chris often seen walking round,chatting with passengers, nice to see ! Osman and Dione kept our cabin spotless and lots of amazing folded towel animals turned up on our bed. We did have to miss our call at Lanzarote because of bad weather but it was best to be safe and remain at anchor in Gran Canaria

This was our first cruise and we didn't know what to expect. Embarkation was smooth and seamless, with our luggage waiting outside the cabin. First night the noise and vibration in the cabin was awful. However it was OK for rest of cruise. Food and drink very good. Staff very polite and helpful. On board entertainment excellent. Leisure facilities excellent. Shore excursions enjoyable and informative. Daily on board itinerary information leaflets a great touch. We thoroughly enjoyed our first cruise experience and would definitely go again.

This was our 1st cruise and we could not have chosen better. The ship was impeccable and had every amenity you could possibly want. The food was incredible and the choice enormous. The staff were friendly and professional. nothing was a bother. The cabin had a lovely balcony and the most comfortable bed. it had every thing you need and so clean. We received an itinerary every evening so we knew what was happening the next day. The ports we visited were delightful. The captain kept us all informed about things about the ship. The shows were outstanding and plenty of entertainment throughout the ship. A truly enjoyable holiday and experience.
