Iconic Islands & 3 Nt Corfu Stay, 2 July 2027 (10 nights)

Fantastic cruise with friends 16 th Marella cruise and can’t fault them it was good as ever. Cabin was balcony on deck 9. Always kept spotless by housekeeping team. Entertainment was great and included a Gary Barlow tribute act and a comedian from the uk. All staff are fantastic and always smiling. Food choice was amazing and always found something in either buffet or one of the restaurants where you get served at your table. The drinks suited us and entertainment staff were none stop. We particularly enjoyed the silent disco ! Toilets were always clean and tidy and always got a sun lounger. Will defo be going again with Marella. Ports visited were amazing!!!

A very disappointing experience. It was a good itinerary, but with some shore excursions below par. Onboard dining was mediocre, with little menu variation and poor fruit and salad selections. Lack of opportunity for dining room table-sharing with other passengers. No onboard presentations or guest speakers. Lack of TV news channels for more than half of the cruise. Paid for WiFi did not perform well. Cabin service and maintenance were good, and evening theatre shows were entertaining.

Very quick easy check in. Cabin lovely and clean, Staff could not do enough for you very attentive and smiley. Meals very good although late night snacks let things down. Drinks was plentiful and adequate without upgrading. Excursions was available although more expensive through the ship which is always going to be more. . entertainment was very very weak especially the bands in the bars and on the pool deck. The virtual bands should be on stage not screen. The showteam was no more than a school production but did change the 2nd week which was better but we have seen much better west end style on past marella cruises. There was a couple of really good vocalists who held the rest of the showteam up. The guest entertainment was good Brian Conelly Jnr. The comedian we had seen before excellent impressionist but jokes years old. . . the professional dancers was amazing. The guy on the piano Jo in Indigo was also amazing. A good singer too he made that piano sing very very good. The assistant cruise director Jillian out shone the cruise director--a nice girl but something lacking. The restaurant team was amazing. . all in all a good cruise but we have had much better entertainment. . the hosts was very xyz. Did what they needed to and did not interact as in the past you could see it was just a job to most of them. . However we shall be booking again still with Marella as we like the formal down to earth vibes from other cruisers not too posh shall we sat.

We were pleasantly surprised at the high standards in all areas on Marella Explorer. From the large, spotlessly clean cabins to the excellent variety of food in a wonderful choice of restaurants, the cruise exceeded our expectations. .
