Creator's Key Takeaways

this time around we have 16 days left before we go on our cruise and the planner has been an absolute disaster

I didn't get that email telling me there was an itinerary change it was just an email saying you've got so long to go

I was absolutely gutted so gutted that I even wrote an email to Tui

keep checking daily if you want to go to The Exchange because they will suddenly appear without any warning

Creator's Tips & Advice

Don't presume the planner is your up-to-date itinerary; keep a close eye on emails.
If you book a local tour, make sure it comes with 24-hour cancellation.
Keep checking daily for excursion and dining availability as items can appear and disappear quickly.

YouTube Video Description

This video takes a look at the Tui cruise planner, so good when we used it 12months ago but has been an absolute disaster for our cruise this year on Marella Voyager. Items are still not available to book with just 12 days left to our cruise. The last two island destinations excursions have only just been added. Only 3 out of 5 speciality dining are listed and the 'Exchange' listing has been a nightmare and showed unavailable from the moment it appeared, only for it to show as bookable for one day. It has showed unavailable ever since. Tui you really need to sort out this mess. #marellacruises #marella #voyager #cruiseship #cruise #planner #tui #shocking #incomplete #cruiselife #booking #planning #caribbeancruise #excursions #speciality #dining
