Marella Discovery Colours of the Far East

[Tinker107]

I am going on the Marella Discovery Colours of the Far East cruise in December.

Has anyone done this cruise and can advise best side of the ship for a sunny balcony in the afternoon.

We did it in February, and believe me, you’ll be looking for shade, its SO hot and humid!!

Pick an aft cabin and then it doesn't matter what side the sun is on as you will get it anyways

Thank you for all the advice.

The aft balconies are mega hot and humid in the Far East as they get no breeze. We got a fan from reception (when the ship was Royal Caribbean) but our neighbours were unable to use theirs as it was so uncomfortable

I am looking at booking this cruise, does anyone know how much Marella charge roughly for a full days shore excursion, I am try to work out how much extra it would cost on top of the cruise for the shore tours.

It does vary from about £60-£120 but you can check them out on the Marella website under excursions.

JessM66 ~ We did this cruise in January and booked all our trips at our local TUI travel agent.

Having previously visited many of the destinations for land based holidays we booked a variety of half and full day tours. They varied between 4 and a half hours and 8 hours.

We paid around £400  in total for both of us for 8 different  tours. We found that the same trips booked on the ship were £5 -10 more expensive.
