Marella Explorer 2 Reviews

First time sailing with Marella and we will definitely be sailing with them again.

Lovely ship, fantastic food, adults only, drink package inc. was excellent, would highly recommend.

Fantastic staff couldn't do for us, entertainment was very professional. All in all a good cruise as always.

Excellent cruise but unfortunately due to inclement weather we were unable to dock in Montenegro which was a shame but no fault of the captain. Staff were excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed the cruise.

The flight, transfer and boarding experience was super. Our cabin and housekeeping staff were excellent. The ships facilities were very good. The ratio of bar and restaurant staff seemed a little less than other ships we have been on which meant slightly longer wait times. Showcast entertainment was superb. Overall the cruise was excellent value for money and we would be happy to choose Marella again.

Chose for itinerary of several places we had not sailed to before. Value for money cruise with surprisingly good weather for time of year so made full use of sunbeds. Really friendly attentive staff in dining room especially LJ, Jamaica and Rahmat.

A very enjoyable cruise and good value for money. Entertainment staff were excellent. There wasn’t much daytime activities and when entertainers were playing in the bars it was always around dinner time or show time. So you had to either go to the late show or have later dinner to see these. We liked the smaller ship. All crew were friendly and hard working. Would definitely consider Marella again. Some areas of the ship needed some attention which we believe was being done this winter.

The entertainment was of exceptional quality.

Fabulous ship, very well appointed in public areas though cabin could be doing with a refurbishment. Very noisy in our room when docking which disturbed our sleep with what sounded & felt like an earthquake each morning but was eventually bearable with earplugs which we couldn’t have done without. Staff so attentive, especially Mhae, Delish & Pooto who serviced our cabin, Kent who kept the cocktails coming in Aperitif and N’Way who looked after us in Tapas restaurant. Loads to do on ship entertainment wise, plenty restaurants to choose from. Food on the whole very good, especially Tapas restaurant. Theatre shows excellent. We had an amazing time on the ship and were so sad to leave. We have given the excursions 5 stars as couldn’t submit without selecting. However, we didn’t do any excursions.

We couldn’t ask for anything more; the staff were always friendly and helpful (a special mention goes to our cabin staff of Elmo, Bikash & Ram who were wonderful!) We didn’t go on many excursions (only 1) because my wife struggles with the heat hence the 3 stars! Marella chefs put out wonderful meals each day. The entertainment was first class. A cruise line to be recommended. Great value.
