I believe this is happening in some other European countries as well, I’ve read that they want passengers off ships in port to encourage using bars , restaurants etc so they spend there euros in ports as though already stated some cruise lines have this priced in. I believe the USA has a tax too when in port or their waters on some ships as happens on land in bars etc. every state has a different tax rate.

I may be wrong but thought TUI was a good price. £26 each against £28 on trip. ? and can cancel with full refund -

Discovery This week.
Cliffholl55 replied to Rebel Rouser's topic in Marella Cruises (formerly Thomson)
Have to agree with you, our Cuba cruise was cancelled in January with TUI giving us 24 hours notice. There compo is the pits and there not bothered and won’t listen to you. I’m beginning to think there ships are getting past there sell by date but unfortunately weve booked for 3 Rd time to Cuba next January with last 2 cancelled.. they say 3rd time lucky -
We did this cruise in reverse (Dubai to India ) was a great cruise, Mumbai is easy either on your own or excursions as ship docks close. The excursion we did was well organised from laundry to main railway station to Mumbai hotel and Gate. Oman we did our own thing and definitely go to the souk which is an easy walk, many bargains and bartering. remember your need visa for India .

Marella Discovery 2 itinerary Pricing
Cliffholl55 replied to Happycruiser1526's topic in Marella Cruises (formerly Thomson)
Just a word of warning. KL is a fair way from port Klang but the bigger danger is the traffic. If you go diy make sure ur back in time for departure . -
If docking in La Romana there is now a resort for free as u get off ship. Walk through duty free then all the tourist stalls where there is a marvellous pool resort. Music free sunbeds and there’s bar people serving cocktails from the bars, ( not free ) 🙈 but at a good price.

Is Marella letting standards slip?
Cliffholl55 replied to Brummijam's topic in Marella Cruises (formerly Thomson)
Totally agree with you Saint. Choose Arvia , you won’t be disappointed. Although saying that we are going to try for a third time to get to Cuba with Marella as there places we have always wanted to get to. The last two bookings there were cancelled due to covid and then the ship breaking down last February. -

Thing is you don’t need a drink package. Is pub prices u pay here. And not watered down . But I agree Marella are getting too expensive over PO. We found that out in February on Arvia. So so much cheaper for Caribbean cruuse -

We did PO Caribbean on Arvia in February after cancelled Marella cruise wit 24 hours notice. Was half the price and double the fun on PO. Marella are out pricing there cruises compared to others. -
We were on Arvia 3 weeks ago and was along side Discovery in the Caribbean after our Marella cruise was cancelled day b4 departure. Booked PO and saved £1500 . As you say even paying for booze still lots cheaper and better cruise. Oh , and better customer relations

Cliffholl55 replied to Miller Cruiser's topic in Marella Cruises (formerly Thomson)
Totally agree with you. Marella seriously need to look at there pricing, just looked at Asia cruise as enjoyed it b4 but at just over 9K there are better choices on other lines.
