Marella Explorer, Mediterranean

Excellent value for money. its my second Marella cruise and again it was brilliant. Very smooth transfers , crew very helpful and friendly. It feels like a family on board and on trips every one talks to you. Iv met some very interesting people. I think you could easily go on one on your own. They facilitate events for people to meet each other. The food is always good even in the buffet style restaurant they have a gorgeous healthy selection of food at each time of day. The afternoon teas are just like any cafe that does them. The entertainment is better than the west end shows with it being intimate you feel like they are performing just for you. Its lovely meeting the dancers after and around the ship. You can learn to dance from them. They have other activities. There are plenty of sun beds available around the ship in quiet areas, or around the pool. I think the spa treatments are expensive but you can get offers and free trials. The rooms are very comfortable. I always get a balcony room but had a good look around this time and if I wanted to cut down on my money to fit more cruising in i would get a room with a window but the inside cabins are just the same but without the window. So they cater for all budgets and what everyone prefers. You get the same 5star plus plus value for everything. Iv booked another one. Im addicted to cruising now. The port of calls are a good choice to get the best out of your visit. The excursions are great and the reps are very friendly and informative. I could go on. I cannot fault anything about Tui they are helpful from the start even in the shop or on the phone if you have any questions.
