As first-time cruisers, Marella was the perfect introduction. Everything was included — flights from Manchester, drinks, entertainment, and gratuities — so we knew exactly what we were paying before we left home. The ship wasn't the newest but it was clean and well-maintained. Entertainment team were fantastic and really created a fun atmosphere. We are now cruise converts and have already booked our second!
Pros
Genuinely all-inclusive, regional UK airport departures, simple booking, great for beginners
Cons
Ship feels older than competitors, food variety limited, cabin was quite small
