Your right 2BACRUISER,we tend to live in a society thats quick to complain/crticise but not to praise I,m not one for posting reviews and tend to take more notice of folks opinions on this Marella forum than reviews posted elsewhere to be honest We,re on Voyager in just over 4 weeks and looking forward to it having done every other Marella ship I will give my thoughts on here on our return

Interesting D We were on the America cruise 5 weeks or so ago and couldn,t check in onlineand it had to be done at the airport.Wasn,t an issue for us as we had already pre- booked our seats TUI website/system is awful

Oh,and if you are not booked through TUI but through a third party/Independant TA its up to them to contact TUI as TUI wont entertain customers who are booked through an independant TA I,ve had the same issues in the past when not booked through TUI

Hi G It would seem there is no adapted balcony cabins Any adapted cabins are inside and outside on Deck 5

Hi K, Are you meaning you cant check in?If thats what you mean you cant check in online for the US has to be done at airport Regards your thread title We put in Marella Discovery,Port Canaveral,the address and zip/postcode Might be a bit late in the day but if its neither of these your meaning I,d be going back into the TUI travel agents and demanding they help you,its there job

Hi B I,m fine and hope you well We,re creatures of habit and no sign or inclination of us changing to another line in fact we,ve another Marella cruise booked for next year 😉 Whats the other line your going with? Birthday suit,its free 😉😆

Yep,of same opinion as you B

We got covid on our cruise last year and were confined to our cabin for 4 days but didn,t have the additional cruise cover at £40 pp so dipped out on hundreds of ££££ reimbursement but hey ho

🤣 I can only wish H

We were berthed at Manhatten a few weeks back and must say great spot

Uber would be $45ish from terminal to central park

Never knew this was available with Marella/TUI and dont think I,d be tempted if part of a package.We have waited no time at all for our luggage to arrive at our cabin and there has been a few times our luggage has been outside our cabin by the time we have embarked Think keeping luggage on disembarkation day sounds like too much hassle

Hi Paul With Marella? i know if your an independant traveller(not part of package) you are permitted to hold onto your luggage until you disembark but never knew this was an option if your on a package deal

Interesting Paul as for all the cruise we have been on not once been offered or known there was such an option

The majority of our cruises tend to involve a stay afterwards and you are informed the day/night before the end of your cruise your disembarkation time and transfer to your hotel/resort.

I,m with o2 which gives me international roaming

Nice one B,have a good one We were on Explorer last year and enjoyed it We,re off in 7 weeks,given Voyager a whirl Yeah,this retirement malarky has a lot going for it 😅but and there is a but,because we do school run everyday our holidays are tied more or less to when schools are off and prices are way higher then but hey ho

On to next years B 😅 Hope your well

Working okay for me but find its not exactly the best user friendly website.We prefer face to face booking by going into a TUI shop who will price match online price.We did this yesterday and secured a further discount not available online 😉 Dont find the TUI/Marella app great either but might be an age issue on my behalf😅

Hi L Back to the Med for our next one We checked in online without a problem but you cannot print off boarding passes for the USA.You are given your boarding passes at check in desk at airport Coming home was the same.Checked in on my phone and boarding passes issued at airport Our flight coming home along with every other flight was delayed,ours by 3 hrs Thankfully we were in the TUI lounge,with food,drink and access to an outside area(smoking)otherwise the hrs hanging about the airport would have felt longer Have a good one

Hi H Getting over the jetlag and worse,trying to get used to being back home 😆,only 8 weeks till our next one though When are you off? If you have any questions fire away and will try my best to answer them

Been back a week now from American Dream and a week in Orlando and just never got round to doing a review It was a great trip however

After it being cancelled a few years ago it was only rescheduled for this year only
