Marella Explorer 2 Reviews

Great cruise staff as always brilliant

Marella did a brilliant job of making our Christmas special

Wonderful staff and crew

The ship was clean the staff were friendly our cabin steward Daren was wonderful the shows were excellent especially Jack Green who was went end standard. We will be going sgsin

Ship layout disjointed. I found it hard to get around. Travelled on Discovery 2 previously and really enjoyed it, so was surprised to see how different Explorer 2 was. I expected a suite cabin to be well appointed. The sofa was positioned in a dark corner with no view of the sea, and was underneath the tv, so I had to sit on the bed to watch tv. The short duration clearly appealed to a different crowd, lots of drunken behaviour, The staff had a lot to put up with. All of the staff were friendly, helpful and courteous . The trip to Volcano was excellent, good value. Will probably not consider Marella again now. I had taken my daughter for a taster cruise, intending a full family cruise next year. Ive traveled with 4 other cruise lines so have a fairly balanced view. I like P&Os pricing where they give you an onboard spend rather than free drinks, I think this is a better option.

This was our first cruise , from start to finish everything went smoothly . The cabin crew can not do enough for you , always smiling and happy to chat . Plenty of restaurants to choose from , buffet style to waiter service . Food was of a very good standard . We went over the festive period and had a fabulous time . Captain Richard was such a lovely person who appreciates all of his staff . I would definitely sail with Marella again .

Liked our cabin was in a good position . But it smelt of sweat 5053 it was very clean the sheets were crispy clean but still smelt og body odour

Good things come in small packages! What a very friendly ship, it is not often you see the Captain on gangway duty! Superb live shows from a small very hard working entertainment team. All personnel on board were polite and helpful.

All boxes ticked as ‘Excellent’ must do it again.

Music was far to loud in every venue even in indigo where people went to read
