We’ve just returned from a week long…
We’ve just returned from a week long cruise. Grecian discovery on Marella Discovery 2. This was our 3rd Marella cruise and there were areas where cut backs have been made, however other than us spending our first day complaining it didn’t really impact on our holiday. In short, we had a great time and will definitely book another. The service we received was generally exceptional with the odd bad moment thrown in. We would like to give special thanks to Jun, Princess and Clinton who did a great job of keeping our cabin clean and tidy and Sunhil in the watch shop who entertained us all week.The waiter service was generally good although some of the bar staff were downright miserable. One in particular had a stinking attitude in the Live Room. The waiter/waitresses in the restaurant did a great job and tried their best to make you feel valued. The food was good although the food in Islands was average at best and only to be used if in a hurry to be somewhere. The drinks in Islands were also very poor. (Coffee, Tea, Juice, and fizzy drinks from the machine) The snack shack was not as good as on previous cruises and the cookies, sandwiches etc’ weren’t the best. The Coffee port was good, and the service was good, the girls always made an effort to make you laugh. Although paying extra for cookies and cakes is a bit of a poor show. The internet is an absolute rip off. So depending on where you travel to it may be worth pre arranging something with your provider. There aren’t many shops on board but the ones that are there are good and the sales advisors do a good job. Travel from airport to port and vice versa was seamless and totally stress free. The entertainment on the ship was very enjoyable and we thought there was something for everyone and when we looked around most people seemed to be enjoying themselves as much as we were. On the one occasion where someone drank far more than he should have the staff dealt with the situation calmly without any drama. Finally.. the excursions. Do you homework so you don’t fork out for what can be nothing more than a bus ride into town.
