Italy Marella Explorer 2 Italy Cruise Reviews

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 ...

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 ...

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 & ...

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. ...

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 ...
