Marella Barbados Cruise Reviews

Arrived at the port in Barbados for two weeks on board The Explorer 2, very efficient check in and placed in cabin 91XX (with balcony). We thought the room and bathroom were somewhat tired, the bathroom was very small. Plenty of storage throughout. Overall the cabin was extremely clean. We had to ask for a bed topper as the mattress was very uncomfortable, topper unavailable but we were ...

Really enjoyed this 2 week cruise from Barbados good ports of call, Grand suite cabin was fantastic the best room on 20+ cruises, huge balcony with lots of room for everything in the cabin. main restaurant food was really good buffet was ok but had better with other cruise lines, poolside entertainment team were very good, unfortunately one of the poolside acts was a piano player I think his last ...

The Trip We booked this cruise having sailed Marella previously so we knew roughly what we were getting. The main objective was the variety of ports on the itinerary which included Puerto Rico, St Thomas, St Croix, Bequia and originally Guadeloupe , especially for my “Death in Paradise” TV show crazy wife. Having booked and paid in full, about a month before sailing, Marella changed the ...

It's probably common knowledge but in case you don't know - Marella is part of the TUI Travel Group. We first booked a Marella cruise for spring 2022 as the itinerary included Guadeloupe ("Death in Paradise"). As Marella made several changes to the itinerary for 2022 we were able to change our booking to a 2023 cruise which again included Guadeloupe. Unfortunately, and to our great annoyance, ...

Rounded up from 2.5: We have cruised with Marella in the past and have enjoyed the experience, this time however there were a number of significant issues which marred the experience: - Before we even left the country, we received an email to say that the cabin we had had reserved for 18 months was no longer available so we would be moved. The email was very unhelpful, didn't explain at all ...

wanted to see as many Caibbean Islands in one holiday, to be docking at a different place every morning was fabulous !! loved the Lattitude restaurant! as a vegetarian or Vegan ,the food is lovely !! Guest performers were great , in House Entertainment was Okkk . getting on and off ship was alot easier than I was expecting !! ship was big but was easy to get round to ...

Two of the party had cruised with Morella Cruises a few times previously. We went with the recommendation and must say I was at first disappointed with the size of the ship as has always cruised on much larger ships, however realised this ship did give us all what we needed. The journey from the airport, to the coach, then onto he ship was faultless. We left our cases at the airport and the next ...

Our first cruise and it wont be our last, well organised at Birmingham Airport greeted by the Tui rep given our flight boarding pass suitcases taken from us and not to be seen again until outside our cabin door onboard ship in Barbados, we upgraded from an inside cabin to a Junior Suite with balcony No 8520 we were well pleased, very impressed with the ship it had undergone a major revamp 2022 ...

Party: 2 adults from England, aged 29 and 63, previously cruised with Marella on the Dream, with NCL 4 times, 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. Summary: - Faultless service from absolutely everybody - Food surprisingly good ...

This review is an honest account of our recent experience on Marella Explorer 2. Completed 10+ cruises to date this being our fourth with Marella and first on Explorer 2. Outbound flight delayed Luggage arrived badly damaged Had to be moved from cabin 8214 (balcony) due to loud noise / vibration from the engine, it was obvious that they were aware of this problem as talking to other ...
