Marella Explorer 2 Cruise Reviews

This was our first cruise and certainly won’t be our last. I cannot fault a thing. The staff are fantastic. Cabin was great on deck 9 with balcony. Food was great. Entertainment was great. We upgraded to Premium All inclusive and was well worth it. The itinerary was fantastic, saw some great places. Currently sat looking at next years itinerary. There is something for everyone, quiet bars and ...

Booked our 1st Cruise to coincide with our 25th wedding anniversary around the Adriatic. From our transfer to the Ship and our return was faultless.All staff from catering/entertainment/cabin attendants were exceptional. Port stops/trips were well organised. Stopped in a Junior Suite on the 10th floor which exceeded our expectations. There was plenty of places to eat and drink and the inclusive ...

Party: 2 adults from England, aged 29 and 64, previously cruised twice with Marella (Dream and Explorer 2), with NCL 4 times (Jade, Breakaway and Prima), and 3 other cruises in the early 00s on now defunct lines. We don't have any disabilities and we didn't use the casino, so we can't comment on these aspects, and this was an adults only ship. The sailing is listed as 'Sail Three Seas', but we ...

Chose this cruise for the destination and the adults only. We added the premium drinks package which was well worth it because besides premium spirits it included premium coffees. Standard cocktails tended to be made with cheap mixers and squash rather than fruit juice, so choose carefully. We had a junior suite as we were travelling with friends and these were the only balcony cabins we ...

We chose Explorer 2 because of the locations visited we have done four cruises now with them over the years but now unfortunately since Covid the quality of the food is appalling Luke warm if you’re lucky and over the years I have used them the menu hasn’t changed . The staff are excellent and always a smile although some of restaurant staff don’t listen to what you want of the menu and couldn’t ...

This was the first time using Marella and the last. We thought that by using them as it a smaller ship this would be a lovely restful cruise. WRONG!. The ship seemed to be fully booked as there was no room to be had on the sun decks on the sea day or when passengers returned from trips, it was crowded. You could not lay on the decks if you wanted a rest as the ship played loud music most of the ...

We wanted to try a new cruise line. This was the 2nd worst cruise we have had out of 20. Considering we have tried 17 different ships. Unless you want to be drunk all day, we hardly drink at all!! Breakfast was the worst at sea. No real choice for example no bagels/muffins or other breads choices. Very few cereals. Black pudding on 2 of the 14 nights. Only really bacon, eggs & ...

This was our first cruise so there's nothing to really benchmark it against but overall it was a wonderful stress free experience for my wife's big birthday. The flight out to Dubrovnik from Bristol and transfer to the ship was hassle free and surprisingly smooth and the return was even better until we landed at Bristol. We opted for a deck 8 balcony cabin with the premium drinks package but ...

We booked this cruise for our wedding anniversary on the strength of susan Calman TV showing We booked the royal suite, but we're we on the same ship OMG nothing like what she showed, canteen meals in latitude restaurant awfull Tui you should be ashamed of yourselves!. Speciality restaurants were are saving grace, but when you pay £5500 for one weeks holiday why the hell should you pay more. ...

We chose this particular cruise because of the itinerary (11 islands in 14 days). We'd been to the majority of the islands before but wanted to go back to certain islands. We paid extra to chose our cabin and we opted for 82** right at the back of the ship. The bed was right against the wall with access only at one side (so no bedside tables), the air conditioning wasn't working and the balcony ...
