We have just finished our cruise around the Canary Islands. Canary flavors is the itinerary on Mela Explorer 2.
The food on this cruise has been phenomenal. It has been absolutely amazing.
The what's included in the all-inclusive drinks is much worse than it's been previously.
We never hesitate to recommend the Mora Cruise to anybody because you know you're going to come and you're going to enjoy it.
