Creator's Key Takeaways

We're back from our first ever Marella cruise.

I would say for Marella, for me, I'm not going to rush back, but that's not a slight.

We were physically assaulted by this lady.

The entertainment staff were fab.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you're looking for your safe, it's behind the mirror.
Consider upgrading to the premium drinks package if you enjoy nicer drinks.
