Creator's Key Takeaways

we have to say we're seriously impressed from the food to the entertainment the amazing stuff it's been an incredible experience

this is been a nice surprise wow it's not that far to walk from the drop off either that was actually a 5 six minute walk

this game show was super engaging and entertaining and it wasn't long before we were up on our feet getting involved

I actually love that it was so much fun using a live band for a game show could think it that was hilarious

Today on our Marella Discovery Aegean Jewels cruise with Marella Cruises, we opt against booking a Marella Discovery cruise ship excursion, using public transport instead - but what we find in Crete is unexpected! (Vlog #4) It's Day 4 of our Marella Discovery Aegean Jewels cruise with Marella Cruises, and today weโ€™re docked in Souda (Chania), Crete! Instead of booking a ship excursion, we take a budget-friendly local bus from the port to Chania, one of Creteโ€™s most charming cities. But what we find today is something we definitely werenโ€™t expecting! After exploring the stunning Venetian Harbour and wandering through Chaniaโ€™s historic streets, we return to Marella Discovery to relax on the pool deck (in the shade though!), and enjoy all the fantastic entertainment that Marella Cruises has to offer. As the evening unfolds, we grab some pre-dinner drinks, play a quick 9-hole round of mini golf (included in your Marella Cruises fare!), and then head to 47 Degrees, the main dining room on Marella Discovery, for a delicious meal. After dinner, we check out the gameshow at the Squid & Anchor, featuring the brilliant โ€‹โ @amiewooton8915 & The Collective - with โ€‹โ @niallwilliams7181 acting as one of the team captains, which makes for a fun night! Join us for another exciting day onboard Marella Discovery, as we explore Chania, Crete, enjoy the cruise ship entertainment, and make the most of everything Marella Cruises has to offer! Marella Discovery is part of the Marella Cruises fleet along with Marella Discovery 2, Marella Explorer, Marella Explorer 2, and Marella Voyager, offering a laid-back, all-inclusive experience for British cruisers.
