  6. Sorry Dronnygirl only my opinion.
  7. Hi You but a ticket from the ship for the bus into Town, not the greatest of stops to be honest. Last Oct they gave you just over 3 hours in the town, however this June this was cut back (I suspect due to people complaining) to approx. 2.5 hours. We just had a walk around the centre and a few drinks. Was glad to get back onboard.
  8. We were onboard in early June, they Wi-Fi package is quite expensive for the very low amount of data you get. Plus its not the greatest. Best plan get wifi when ashore
  9. I will try and cover off all the questions. 1. Corfu airport. Yes arrivals people were being on the planes and then a que to get thru passport control (welcome to Brexit). coming home main issue was the boat being late back to Corfu (quite a strange one as it was put down to strong currents, however the MSC ship that was next to us at Kotor and left after us was in Corfu before us). Then you just have to accept what the airport is and capacity constraints. The ques weren't helped by people not following instructions and just walking into airport and joining internal que. Hosts in the squid and anchor were mainly Phil and Lee. Although I have kind of warmed to the live lounge and it was much easier to get into. The squid was jammed. Shows we seen. Buds dinner Rockology Musicals Cogs Somebody to love Zuma Idols Life story ** we didn't go to Cogs as we didn't enjoy it last year. As I mentioned TUI has changed around all the ex Scotland flights to Corfu next year. Glasgow outbound now 6am (was 7am this year) and return from Corfu now 21-50 when it was supposed to be 13-35 Felt really sorry for the Edinburgh flight on the 26th May it didn't make it to Corfu due to technical problems so a high number of people didn't get there cruise.
  10. We have just returned from two weeks onboard the explorer. Cabin 9023: Great cabin no issues and very quiet. Our friends were in 9011 again no issues. Big shout out to Michael and his team who kept everything in tip top shape and could not do enough for you. We eat in the main restaurant (breakfast and dinners a good few times) again great service and a varied choice. Market place also good. We also eat in the surf and turf and Kora La again excellent and good value for money. Entertainment: Again shows great, hosts (especially Phil and Lee0 kept everything running smoothly and good fun. Bars: Squid and Anchor (our normal home) was good and no issues (however very busy), we sat in the live lounge a lot (If your onboard say hello to Vegas 5 star and Priston). Pool bar and Mediterranean were equally good. The boat was late back to Corfu on Friday the 9th and this created a few issues at the airport. Corfu airport is what it is, no point spoiling a great holiday complaining. TUI did there best and all planes waited for all passengers. Overall another great cruise and a big well done to all the staff onboard for there hard work to make our holiday special. booked for Sept 2024 explorer (Just noticed TUI changed all the flight times from Scotland next year grrrr)
  11. Finally received a mail from marella advising the change. Also 50 pound per person credit on-board
  12. Just seen that the itinerary has been changed. No mail yet from Marella but some people have received these. Trieste has been dropped now Ravenna, so not great as we have been to Ravenna before and we were not impressed. Also Koper now on the Sunday again really like here, but with the law being changed that most shops are closed now on Sundays not great. They've also pushed back the Glasgow flight , luckily only by 30 mins.
