Creator's Key Takeaways
We'd booked park and stay at the Bratannia Hotel at Newcastle airport for a really good price.
The hotel itself is a bit tired, but it's fine for one night before your holiday.
We had a pretty decent flight.
Being back on Mela is very different to the cruises we've done recently, but we're enjoying it so far.
