To be honest I did worry about having an inside cabin on a 17 day transatlantic cruise. BUT I was so wrong to even think that I felt like royalty the staff I must mention their names ! Yatish, squid and anchor bar service amazing happy to always help always remembered my name and cabin also Jacinto same bar always so helpful, Angela in the really lovely more personal nonnas restaurant once again ...
We have been fortunate enough to have been on a range of holidays with various tour operators and different cruise lines. Our most recent being Cunard Line. A far cry from Marella, on pen and paper anyway.
We wanted to try something new and after watching lots of reviews and videos online, we decided to give them a try and when a good deal popped up, we booked. We chose an itinerary that we ...
We took a two week back to back cruise from, and back to, Montego Bay, Jamaica. We went to some really interesting places including Costa Rica, Panama and Colombia the first week, then Cozumel, Cuba and Gran Cayman the second week. Different experiences and feel to each port of call visited. Marella Explorer 2 was a fabulous adult only ship. Staff were so friendly and great at what they do. Our ...
I got this for my Wife's 60th birthday as she has been on several cruises but it was my first time.
We booked a 2 week cruise round the Carribbean and I was totally smitten by it all the ship was fantastic the crew were always smiling and very helpful the Captain had a fantastic sence of humour and always had time to talk to you.

If you put your towels on the bsthroom floor you get fresh ones. you get beach towels too.
If You get ...
Upon arrival , the exterior of the ship appears underwhelming , you can tell it’s a older ship, quite small in comparison with some of the other super cruisers that are a option, but this carry’s its own charm upon boarding.
This was our first ever cruise and America / New York was always on our places we wanted to visit , the price although was expensive in comparison to European holidays , ...
We sailed for our honeymoon in July 2023, this was our first cruise so I don’t have any previous experience to compare to but we really enjoyed our holiday.
Cabin
We booked a junior suite on deck 8 and our cabin stewards were fantastic. There was an issue with a plug socket not working, I reported it on the navigate app and then went to explore the ship. When we got back an hour or so ...
Have been on Discovery 6 times now. After refurb cabins are looking good. Only one thing missing I would say and that was an extra little couch/chair. Crew as always were brilliant and so helpful. Our Cabin Steward Cyrus and his team were great and would wave from one end of corridor to the other!! A few hiccups, none of which bothered us at all. Bimini tender running aground, we were on first one ...
We have always wanted to go to the East Coast of America, so this cruise was perfect for us. On board, we chose to use the Islands Restaurant, primarily because the buffet food selection was excellent, and had great views. We would like to thank Natassia, Carlos, Carter and Manbir for their friendliness and for looking after us and all the other customers so well.
Our cabin was spotless and ...
