Creator's Key Takeaways

We had a really good time but I wouldn't say it was as good as our last Mela cruise.

I'm not in a rush to go back on Discovery 2 anytime soon.

The food. I've never been on a cruise where food's consistently that piping hot everywhere you drink.

We definitely do Mela again. I'm not put off Mela.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“For the itinerary with long excursions, pick one or the other and do the cruise again if possible.
βœ“If you can afford it, it's worth paying to pick your cabin number.
