Stress free cruise but hit and miss itinerary
"There's plenty to do on the ship if you want and plenty of choices for entertainment, though I have to say that quizzes on the pool deck, bingo and pub quizzes are not our thing so we tended to avoid the Squid and Anchor in the afternoon/early evening.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...."Read More

Review for a Caribbean - All Cruise on Marella Explorer 2

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s
From booking and all the confusion over flights being changed, seats not booked when paid for, poor after booking service where your passed from pillar to post because we booked by phone, although you are all Tui, shop or messenger don’t want to deal with you.
Flight fine, transfer fine, cruise leaves a lot to be desired, ship needs a lot of refurbishment, not nearly enough toilets, always out ...

Review for a Transatlantic Cruise on Marella Explorer 2

We booked a late deal which for the length of cruise was a great price. Slightly worried re an inside cabin however it proved better than port hole/window of the past due to clever use of mirrors creating space. Deck 9 aft amazingly quiet. The turn down service was a luxury with towel animals. Our towels were always thick. We didnt bother with a premium drinks package as our usual drinks were well ...

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 cruised many times and have cruised with Thompson/Tui/ Marella many time and most of their ships since the Dream. We have always enjoyed them - until now.
This was a 17 night transatlantic crossing from Jamaica, Turks and caicos, Bermuda, Azure, Cadiz etc. the weather wasn’t good, we had to divert, 5 metre high waves in the Atlantic for over 2 days and very little sun - it no fault is ...

So let's have an honest review rather than one designed for your family to see. Staff are very friendly supervisers are lazy and officers give you lip service. Food is a disgrace apart from nonna's restaurant everything everywhere else is like warm slop. Bacon cooked in chunks in the oven so the middle is uncooked in the marketplace, flysheet around drinks ...

This was our 9th cruise and our second time on Marella. We are not sure we would use them again unless certain aspects improve.
Firstly the positives
We flew to Dubrovnik with Tui and the flight and transfers were seamless for us. Having our cases collected from outside our cabin for the journey home and not seeing them again until we got to Gatwick was brilliant.
We visited ports in ...

We have just been on the Three Seas Cruise. We were very worried as 4yrs ago we went on the Baltic cruise on Explorer and although the cruise was ok everything else Shows Music were awful and we said we would never cruise with then again. Mark you we have been cruising with them for 10years and the Dream was our favourite. Anyway this cruise was amazing not only the destinations but the Shows were ...

We have done three previous Tui Marella cruises, all to the Canary Islands, as we have birthdays in Feb/March and this is a nice spot after a Highland winter. This year, after several family deaths, we decided to treat ourselves to a summer cruise to the Med on Explorer 2. Unfortunately, this was probably a bad choice. We found the food as good, if not better than usual, also the staff were ...

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 ...
