Creator's Key Takeaways

Marella Cruises is probably our favorite cruise line when it comes to entertainment. But we were really impressed by the quality of singers on board

It's actually a really dinky little gym. I think I'd say it's the smallest out of the whole Marella fleet.

The steak was really tasty. It was a bit hard to cut, but in your mouth it melted. Top notch dinner.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Screenshot or take a picture of the port maps in the Navigate app because you cannot access it once you are off the ship.
Keep your cruise card on you at all times as it is essential for everything on board.
If you are visiting the Canary Islands on a Sunday, be aware that most shops will be closed.
