5 Nights Northern Europe & cruises from Southampton Cruise

Great time and Fun

I read some of these reviews and wonder what planet some people are on, or what they expect. Along with another couple we have just done the Canary Itsland cruise. Staff unbelievable, ship clean and tidy, shows the best I have seen on any cruise, and I have done a lot. Food great. With regards to a previous comment about no fruit, I suggest you go to spec savers! and it was always available. Also the comment about Butlins at sea, stupid stupid stupid! You can make a cruise with Marella whatever you want it to be, we chose to go to our waiter service meals presentable and treat it as a sense of occasion. What Marella offer is a choice, that there is not this stuffiness and tuxedo,s/ball gowns every night! for the vast majority it works, probably the reason Marella cruises are the fastest growing in the cruising market at the moment! (No me guessing but look it up). Also I have met many many people on these cruises who have done Cunard/Royal Caribean/Holland America, who all say the same Marella offer the best value for money, all inclusive as standard without having to pay ridiculous bar bills at the end of your cruise! It one price and that is it! Sorry but if you don't like it go elsewhere! For our party we have no issues!

Wonderful experience

The staff on board and the activities on the ship were wonderful. We enjoyed every moment and were never bored. The staff in the restaurants were so attentive. We loved how a couple of them went above and beyond to remember our names when out roaming about the ship. It felt very personal and customized for us. My teenage daughter was very impressed that they remembered her name when there were so many people on board that they interacted with daily. Our room was super spacious and comfortable and was cleaned impeccably each day. There were plenty of excursions to choose from to ensure we made the most of our time in Freeport. We enjoyed Pirates Cove resort where we were able to zip line, kayak, and play all the beach sports we could imagine. The weather was perfect for us the entire trip. We were on and off the ship and at the ports in less than 15 minutes both ways. We cannot wait to cruise Margaritaville at Sea again!

Definitely will return to MSC

Definitely a European vibe but every moment was wonderful. Constant entertainment and crew gets you involved. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Food delicious. Would have liked a little more variety but all in all fabulous menus. Excursions were great and well organized. Facilities very clean and fancy. Shows fun. Drink package at dinner was reasonable …for 15 euros pp per day you get wine/champagne/beer at lunch and dinner. We also got the cocktail and coffee packages. Check in and out was smooth and the staff was efficient. It surprised me that it pick up and drops off guests at each port. Lots of lounges and nightly music that really had people dancing. We had an inside cabin and it was good. Very reasonable cost to cruise. Great itinerary. Wish I had more time on the ship but five ports is a lot. I can’t wait to book again.
