Join us for a comparison of P&O and Marella, perfect for first time cruise tips! We feature scenes from a Marella cruise around the Canary Islands, showcasing why this wasn't the start to our holiday we wanted. We show our experiences on each of the islands visited and what life is like onboard a Marella cruise. See what we liked and what didnt live up to our experiences onboard P&O. At the end my brother Matt gives his honest comparison of his experiences on P&O and Marella. He's done one cruise on each cruise line and has a great perspective on which line would be best for first time cruisers.
