Anyone know if you can change a marella cruise to a tui holiday somewhere like the canaries,
had a look on tui site but could not find any info.
-
Well according to their latest update they are not cancelling any med cruises.
-
I already have £200 obc because they cancelled 2 ports in Egypt so don't want anymore obc,
Israel looks like a no go port and Cyprus are starting to impose restrictions, we have a 7 night stay
after our cruise so not looking good for us, probably be sailing around the med for couple of weeks.

Hi Daftlad,
we are due to sail on the 25th march and we chose the cruise because it went to Israel and Egypt,
Egypt got cancelled and now its almost certain for Israel to be cancelled so not very happy,
When I phoned nobody seemed to know what was happening although the lad I spoke to did keep going to
talk to his manager about it, but the manager didn't know what was going on so it's a just wait and see.
-
I have just come off the phone talking to someone on the tui coronavirus phone line about my cruise from Cyprus,
It goes to Israel for 2 days and no one in the office even knew about Israel being in lock down,
basically we have just got to wait until they get there act together so I hope this news about them cancelling all
cruises is correct.
-
Just had a look and there are plenty of cruises for this march and next march from Birmingham,
very cheap for next month.
-
we were on the dream in October and Maris told us they would be on the Celebration
from the 25th march, she also said things could change but at that time that was their
intended schedule.
-
we did the ho chi minh city trip in February with marella, we had a toilet stop about half way,
can't remember if they had toilets on the bus though.
-
Just had my e-mail from tui and have been offered £100 each also,
we think we are going to carry on with the cruise because we have also booked a 7 night stay in Cyprus,
disappointed to miss out on Egypt and the excursions in Israel still not showing properly on marella site,
got a few weeks to go before we have to pay the balance so will be keeping our eye on it.
-
Booked this cruise on-line a while back and have been checking the marella cruise excursions page,
A few days ago I had a look and noticed that the two port of calls in Egypt had been replaced by Kusadasi and Rhodes,
So I went into our local tui shop and they confirmed that they were changing the port of calls even though they are still selling the
cruise as going to egypt, we are booked on the 25th march cruise but she also told us that the december cruise has also been changed,
just thought I would let people know although I hope it will change back unlikely as that would be,
We have had no info from marella but the lady in the shop said they would be sending e-mails out sometime,
the disappointing thing for me is I booked the cruise for the egypt part and have already been to kusadasi and rhodes,
-
Can anyone tell me when marella excursions go on sale, they used to be on sale a long while before the sail date,
thanks for any info.

for your vaccinations you need to check with your doctor. we went in feb and ours were up to date,
visa's were sorted out on board where you had to fill in the forms a few days before arriving in Cambodia and cost £20 each which is billed to your onboard account, have a great cruise we did.
-
Thanks again Gramwold for all the info,
we are really looking forward to it and just got to pack now,

Just to let everyone know that the Long bar at Raffles is open again although the hotel
is still under renovation.

Hi Gramwold,
1 last question from me, I see you did the Saigon on your own with marella and we have booked that trip as well,
Was it easy getting around saigon to the main tourist sites or did you need a taxi,
Thanks again for any info.

Thanks Gramwold,
we have seen B12 before and enjoyed them but not seen the others,
when we was on the discovery last year not to many people used the venue bar so hopefully more will use it now it's been done up, will look out for Elma to say hello to for you I am sure I will get a free drink off him ha ha,
just got to do the dreaded ironing this week
-
Hi Gramwold,
thanks for the info, we fly out on 27th feb so not long now,
Is the pub squid and anchor better than the old venue bar.
-
Thanks again for the info Balibeach really helpful.

Hi Balibeach,
what time did you arrive and depart the petronas towers on your trip,
and also is there much to see in Sihanoukville as I am finding it difficult to find any worthwhile trips there,
thanks for any help you can give.

Does anyone know who the singers, duo's or bands are on the Discovery ship in Asia.
thanks for any info you can give me.

Hi Sylvia,
we are doing kuala lumpur on the marella on your own trip we want to go up the petronas towers,
do you think we would be o.k booking tickets for around 11-00, would that allow us enough time for the bus getting into kuala lumpur,
thanks for any help you can give me.
