Yet another great cruise on the Marella Explorer 2, the Autumn Affairs 2. Excellent service, staff , restaurants and entertainment on the ship. Special mention to our cabin team- Thiha, Pintu and Htet who were great. Also a big thank you to Puma, Siamon and Roshan at the Aperitif Bar, who kept us entertained and well topped up. In all a very enjoyable cruise.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time on Marella 2. the package offered was, as ever, great value. We must give high commendation to the standard of service around the ship generally particularly from our cabin/housekeeping staff that worked our section. We ate mainly for dinner in Latitude 53 and found both the choice and standard of food excellent. Service particularly in section 3 was very good. We took Breakfast and lunch in the Marketplace - always a great variety to choose from. In total, there are a number of areas around the ship that are beginning to look a bit tired and ready for a refresh. I am sure these will be recognised and attended to in due course. I would also add that we did not find the evening shows quite as good as ones we have previously experienced on other Marella Cruise ships. However, in no way did these issues detract from what was another excellent Marella cruise experience! A big Thank you to one and all on Marella 2.
