Marella cruise

[MonkeyTennis34]

Anyone been?
Considering the adults only ship in December.

They're one of the most polluting lines. You could fly some really nice for the same carbon footprint

Been with them a couple of times, we enjoy their cruises.

Not as upmarket but a lot of fun

I went on a adult only cruise when I was 39 with PAO it was ok but entertainment centred around bingo and balloon dancing. Me and my partner were the youngest couple. I would like to do a another one with marrella but not adult only. On pao cruise we met a who were very experienced in cruises and highly recommended marrella family friendly cruises. Also inclusive. Not like pao.

Worst holiday ever !
We booked in a hurry & didn't realise it was TUI.
Can't get any more down market than that.

Bad food - sent back 4 dinners when we were only on board for 7 days.
Excursions very badly organised, entertainment was bingo & disco.
We complained about the noise as our cabin was near the disco - supposed to stop @ 23.00 but carried on until 01.30.

We have been twice. For the price it’s good value. We took our kids ( late teens then) and they certainly found more to do than bingo and discos. Being smaller ships they dock in smaller ports where you can get off and walk round a small town or village. We treated it like a floating hotel. It’s not 5 star and you can’t compare the pools to a large hotel but it’s vfm.

all cruise lines are marketing at the new markets now ie younger couples and young families as they are the new generations likely to look at cruises now. Older people stop cruising at a certain age.
so no it’s not all bingo and stuff. There are escape rooms, silent discos, sports, high ropes etc.
