Hi I notice on the letter you had it had a charge for a late check out, were sailing on marella in March with later flight so I would pay the later check out, do you pay at end of the cruise?
@Travellifewithlucy6 күн бұрын
Hey! We didn’t do the late check out and it was just some general info on the leaflet, but it may be best to call Marella before your cruise, but I’m sure they will also do this on board and most likely charge it to your onboard account ☺️ unfortunately I can’t say for definite though as it’s not something we did x
@daisymadden99746 күн бұрын
@Travellifewithlucy ok no problem I will speak to tui and inquire as we don't fly back home till 19.20 I have cruised before but when I made the booking totally forgot about the early morning leave from room haha nevermind thanks anyways
@Travellifewithlucy5 күн бұрын
Sorry I couldn’t give the best information, I would hate to give any incorrect info haha, I did the same on a cruise and had to wait 9 hours in the airport 😅 definitely wish I’d sorted late check out beforehand 🤣 hope you have a lovely cruise!!

So you parked at Tilbury but sailed from Bristol? Why didnt you park at Bristol. I'm sailing from Tilbury in 2026 for 31 days in the Med & hopefully I will do a Caribbean cruise of 41 days in 2027. As a solo its very hard getting cabins with them, so book early & prices are nearly what 2 pay. You can wait for last few weeks to see you can catch a bargain fare, but solos are few.
@Travellifewithlucy27 күн бұрын
The cruise finished in Tilbury and living in Essex meant we didn’t have to do the long drive to Bristol and back :) we’d have needed to get a coach either way, but doing it that way made more sense. Solo prices could definitely be better across all cruise lines! Some charge more than 2 people :(

When i go to a new place I like to first take a sponsored shore excursion. Places I've been to before I might take a sponsored excursion or go to places near the ship. Not a big fan of cable cars. Am subscribed. Even hit the like button. Ah food, not just drinks. No handrails on stairs. These stairs have handrails. Some stairs have handrails while others don't. Deck parties aren't all that good. My wife used to like them, but, music is loud and you can't hear a person standing next to you. Salads could be good, wok stations too, but, it depends on what they have. I like Italian food. My wife's Italian.

Food has to be good on a cruise. Didn't like the food on several cruise lines and will not go back. Italian food is mostly good. My wife's Italian. The Mediterranean sounds good too. Snack Shack looks like a buffet. Marketplace is a Buffet. Not a Sushi fan. You could get very sick eating raw or undercooked fish. Steakhouses are usually good. Kora LA I would probably pass on. Bad service is also a turn off. Afternoon tea is also good. Some cruise lines do it better than others. Not really a bar person. Mini golf could be good. If I was to drink that much per day would probably die of cirrus of the liver. When on vacation don't like to be online. Watching a sail away or a sail into port was good from the balcony. Went on a Cunard Cruise. Was disappointed.

The Pairing Menu night at the Dining Club was very very good - £50 a head - but I would expect to pay more than double that in the UK for a similar experience. The service at Umi Shushi was fine for us there were 4 staff when we were there.
