Adriatic Explorer & 7 Nt Corfu Stay, 5 July 2024 (14 nights)

For a basic no frill cruise this was perfect, food was ok, fair choice and average quality. Staff were amazingly friendly especially bar staff, staff in dining areas were often in training on first contracts, polite and gaining experience. The balcony suite on 12 deck were spacious and had everything you needed, cabins were dated but clean and tidy, cabin crew were great. Guest entertainers were very good, other entertainment was average. For a budget cruise this ticks all the boxes and provides nothing to complain about and provides a relaxing enjoyable week

All went great the ship and crew were amazing enjoyed every minute. Travel went seamlessly!!

Very average ship. The boarding was very easy and quick. as was the disembarkation We had a balcony cabin. It was sufficient for our needs. Very powerful shower with a glass door. The cabin steward did a great job. The restaurants were average. I did not rate Marketplace. I lived on repetitive salad with very little change. Same cheese ham etc every day. The fruit selection did not vary from melon and the occasional pineapple. We tried the new trial “English with a twist “ restaurant where the food was better. Service was good with a good system for waiting for a table. Looked as though they had their most experienced waiters in there. The service was much quicker. The other restaurants were very slow though the staff were very friendly. The snack bar around the pool was awful. The pool area was very busy and noisy but we found a quieter place by the Mediterranean bar which suited us better. Impossible to get a lounger by the pool as guests towels went out really early in the morning. The entertainment in the bars and around the pool was very poor. I’m sure there are better singers and musicians out there somewhere. The ships own entertainment staff worked tirelessly all day and were very good. They obviously enjoy working on the ship We went to a couple of shows were good fun. All the staff were very friendly,efficient and hardworking. It felt as though they enjoyed working onboard and created a good atmosphere… Overall I won’t be booking a Marella cruise. I have to say though that lots of other guests seem to enjoy themselves. There were quite a few children on board who were having great fun and were very well behaved

Nice ship and fantastic crew who work extremely hard to make your cruise memorable only issue was long waiting times for a table in the Piccadilly and vista restaurants. was on this ship nine years ago when it was royal Caribbean and it hasn’t changed one bit ,would be nice to have usb sockets in cabins Had a great time and the iconic Greek islands itinerary was brilliant would highly recommend
