And if by Magic. Now showing.

Good Question. I'm off in June on the maiden Voyager and the trips are not showing yet.

I have just come back off the P&O Iona (January) and had a super time on her. And in November we have done the MSC Virtosa and again a fantastic time. You don't really see the 5000 people as the ships are so well laid out. Up until TUI/Marella started charging stupid prices, we were sailing with them 3 or 4 times a year. We have 2 weeks coming up on the Marella Voyager on her Maiden voyage. If I booked that same cruise now it would have been £1000 dearer. We do have another one booked for later in the year on P&O Arcadia to the Arctic circle at a very good price. as for drinks. My wife hardly drinks, so the drinks package doesn't work out for us..

On my 50th Cruise (not all with Marella) I did manage to win this (Draw). Was it luck I won or did TUI pick me per chance.. Like to think I was lucky 🤣 Most cruise these went by Auctions for £200 plus.

Hi KP. Sorry to say that Marella doesn't have a loyalty program. I wish they did, as I have over 40+ cruises with said company.

Updates for Marella cruises have been updated today. From May, no Vaccines needed from May for Europe Cruises, still needed for the USA though.

I Echo that 😁

Yep. Done that before through Gate 10. For the Horizon .

I'm getting to like the BIGGER ships, now have Done MSC Virtuosa and P&O Iona, and because 5k passengers never felt cramped at all. The space has been well planned out and always got a seat and never had to wait for Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner or a seat in any of the Bars and all the shows were well planned out.. Yes, I do like Marella, but they are pricing themselves out of the Market at the moment. My money will only go so far, and I don't like being ripped off. If you shop about, there are bargains to be had.

Harsh it maybe. But when a post then advises that a Booster is no longer needed, and OP post that they were still checking for Boosters. Sends out a mixed message of? Do we or don't we need a booster. I was only trying to help everyone and not to give out mixed messages. 😇

Marella posted the updates yesterday so last week is irrelevant.

I had the same on MSC in November last and P&O in January, Madness!!

The way I read it. Only 2 jabs and no booster.

The link is good. don't worry 😇

Hi Folks, Marella have updated the Covid status page today. Clear as Mud? https://www.tui.co.uk/holidays/where-can-i-go-on-holiday/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Marella-Cruises-entry-requirements-for-our-holiday-destinations-200223.pdf

Just in case. I have screen shot.

The link is all good.

I would say yes, as the ships were bigger and their food outlets and choice plus a lot more quiet areas where you don't have Music or Game shows blaring away all the time. And also no fly was a lot better with only 4 hr drive and 30 mins on boarding the ship. If we were flying it would have been 2 hrs driving plus 2 or 3 hrs in the airport plus another 2 or 3 hrs flight then another 1 hr for border force and luggage plus another 2 hrs getting on the ship so with the flight option would probably have been between 8 and 10 hrs (subjective) from leaving home to getting on the ship. I now prefer the no Flying option now, plus it's a lot cheaper IMO.

I have tried 2 different cruise lines since November 2022. MSC and P&O at much cheaper rates. This is for March 3rd this year..the price is for both of us. My wife doesn't drink so a waste of time putting a drink's package on it. But if we did, it would be far far less than Marella could do for 7 days.

Line dancing around the Corridors 😆

Officially, winds too strong in port.

Bad weather now been told.

I wonder why Marella Explorer turned full circle when going to Agadir.

If not able to print luggage tags 1 week before cruise. They give you luggage tags at the Airport.
