Marella Explorer Reviews

Brilliant cruise experience, but pool deck crowds not for us!

Had a fantastic cruise round the Canaries, our cabin was really nice with a comfy bed and huge balcony. Food options were good, ate in the restaurant mostly, and the buffet now and again, tried the Spanish Tapas restaurant but was a bit disappointed by the mini portions. Loved the shows in the theatre, the performers were very talented. My favourite was the silent disco, a lot of fun. The service on board by all staff was so good they were all helpful and happy. Great selection of drinks on the all inclusive. Visited great ports every day, got fantastic memories. Would recommend Marella we had a brilliant time.

Special mention to our cabin crew Alfonso, Andri and Jolwyn, really took good care of us. Evenings spent at the Indigo bar where the bar and waiting staff were excellent, friendly and efficient. Meals at Latitude 53 were always good and friendly efficient staff. Special mention to the bar man at the Gin and Whiskey Bar, he was very knowledgeable. All shop staff were good to deal with.

Absolutely loved the cruising experience, everything was well planed and organised. The staff where exceptional from all departments, but the cabin staff , Arusha, Angel and Nathaniel were exceptional. We completed the port visits independent, but where given appropriate information by the cruise staff. The dining, experiences, entertainment, and other activities where first class. We can’t wait for our next cruise experience, which will be with Marella.

On board the Marella Explorer was very comfortable and plenty to do and see. I just wanted to thank especially two members of the crew during the voyage 13-20th October 2023. It was on the last day when I thought I had lost my bag with my passport inside and coat by the side of the swimming pool. I was quite upset and Amisha receptionist and Kshitiz Deck Steward were really reassuring and Kshitiz even found my bag where I had left it on the other side of the pool! I had been looking in the wrong place which I felt very silly about!

Very impressed with TUI organisation from flight departure to home again.

Fab service from everyone on board. They work so hard. Entertainment was great something for everybody. Food is fantastic. And the whole experience was amazing. So looking forward to booking again soon

This was our 5th cruise and it was as amazing as the others. Everything was lovely and so well organised. The staff in all areas were very pleasant and polite and couldn’t do enough for us. The housekeeping was second to none. The evening shows were better than some west end shows we’ve seen. Plenty of good food choices at all times. Just totally amazing from start to finish. Can’t wait for our next cruise in February 2034. Everywhere on board was lovely. Thank you again.

As first time cruisers we had a fabulous time on a beautiful ship. Would definitely love to cruise again!

It was perfect. Great room, staff lovely. Shows, food and everything else amazing. No complaints at all. Can't wait to go again!!
