Creator's Key Takeaways

We personally really enjoyed the premium all-inclusive drinks package.

The service ran a lot more quickly and a lot more smoothly.

The cast are absolutely amazing. I mean, every single night with the exception of one night, they put on a different show.

The service was absolutely spectacular from start to finish.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get to the main dining rooms early for better service and seating.
Book specialty dining as early as possible to avoid missing out.
Take plastic water bottles for refills, as water isn't included in drink packages.

YouTube Video Description

Hi everyone, In this week’s video we give our full honest review of our time onboard #marellacruises Discovery. We look at the overview of the ship including venues, facilities and first impressions. We also give our thoughts on the outside cabin we stayed in for our week Caribbean cruise. We discuss the drinks on board and whether we thought the premium all inclusive drinks package was the right choice for us. We discuss the included dining options on board such as the main dining rooms 47 Degrees & Gallery 47, The Glass House, Snack Shack and Islands Buffet. Unfortunately we looked at speciality dining options too late which meant we missed out on eating at Kora La, Surf and Turf and the Great Musical Afternoon tea. We look at the options on board for both the day time (although we did only have one sea day) and evening entertainment on Marella Discovery. From quizzes to theatre shows, deck parties and live music. A stand out really was the silent disco, the entertainment team and the Broadway shows! We discuss the venues where the entertainment takes place such as the Broadway Show Lound, Squid and Anchor and the Live Rooms and give our overall thoughts on the quality. We also discuss the service we received onboard. We give our overall review of the ship, price breakdown and if we would sail with Marella again. We hope you find this #shipreview helpful if you are considering Marella for your next cruise.
