Key Moments

Editorial Summary

Paul and Carol discuss their experiences with Marella Cruises, highlighting five positive aspects and one significant drawback. They praise the all-inclusive nature of the cruises, noting that the selection of wines, beers, and spirits is generous compared to other lines. The creators also appreciate the anytime dining option, which provides flexibility to enjoy ship activities or sunsets without being tied to a strict schedule. Additionally, they value the availability of adult-only itineraries and the high quality of onboard entertainment, which includes various shows, party bands, and dance classes. The relaxed atmosphere is another highlight, as the cruise line offers a dress to impress option rather than strictly formal nights. However, the creators express frustration regarding the lack of a formal loyalty program. They note that despite their repeated patronage, they receive no specific rewards or recognition, which distinguishes Marella from other cruise lines that honor repeat customers through structured programs.
