Got off to a bad start with a force 10 storm changing the itinery and missing Sicily and Sorrento which were the main reasons for booking this cruise but bad weather cant be helped. The day at sea was very rocky, pools had to be emptied and it was difficult to stand at times but that was all down to the weather. The ship is getting on but overall was fine although the very small pools look most uninviting with horrible wooden boards around the edges and unsightly rust patches around edges of deck. Hot tubs were lovely. Our cabin was clean and comfortable but very noisy with vibration. We ate in Orion every night and the food was good but not exceptional. The buffets were fine for breakfast and lunch but choice is limited. We upgraded to the premium drinks package as the inclusive wines were awful. Unfortunatey the entertainment was the biggest let down put on mainly by the show team. It was not profesional although we enjoyed the classic musicals night. Andy Abrahams ex x factor was poor and the magician average. The casino had one roulette table with the double zero therefore raking in more cash off players then necessary. Service was good especially charlie and Stefan in Orion and the staff in Tides bar. Overall we made the most of an average cruise and will not book with Marella again as there are far superior cruises available for a very similar cost.
