Creator's Key Takeaways

we chose Mela because also they do some fantastic itineraries I've always wanted to go to Costa R and they did

the great thing with morela is that they have an all-inclusive drinks package which basically covers so many drinks

people on Mel cruises seem so much friendlier we chat to far more people on on Mela than we did on Celebrity

Mela the price you pay you could just stay on that because your drinks included
