Marella Explorer 2 Cruise Reviews - Reviews

The cruise went too fast! Some of this was due to a lot of sea days, 6 out of a 12 day cruise making it go quiker All in all it was a good getting out of lockdown cruise and we saw places we have never been to.

Had a ten day cruise on Marellaexplorer2 fabulous all round could not fault anything about it even the weather stayed in twenty’s and the seas were like mill ponds this was 27th october to 6 November would go again tomorrow if I could

A good cruise. What we hadn't realised going so late in the season was that we arrived earlier and usually sailed away earlier, so there was some light for manoeuvring the ship. This gave us some very early get-ups for tours.

Cruise ship was a little basic than our normal. But they do what they can with older ship- if it’s the right ports and price you can’t go wrong. There were 400 passengers on our cruise. Barcelona/palms/Cartagena, Valencia Gibraltar. All inclusive with flights from Birmingham junior suite for under £800 each including parking and insurance total . Can’t go wrong

Obviously apprehensive as this was our first cruise since the pandemic, but I have to say it was wonderful. The ship was only at 30% occupancy, service was exelent, food yummy, entertainment brilliant. We was upgraded from ocean view to balcony. Fab ports and blessed with mostly good weather. I will definitely cruise with Tui again.

Disappointed with this cruise lack of info on booking has made it very stressful for most passengers..not all facilities available some crew tested poss to covid so 70 crew in isolation on deck 10

This was my first Marella cruise but there were many seasoned Marella cruisers who are loyal to the line. It's a very British orientated experience on Marella but they seem to know their target market well. This cruise was at half capacity & it felt okay for space etc but it might feel a bit crowded once back to full capacity sailings. Explorer 2 feels contemporary following its 2019 refit & the staff couldn't be more friendly. If you want a traditional but relaxed cruise holiday at reasonable value for money, then this could be the ship for you.

Staff friendly, helpful and couldn’t do enough for us. Ship excellent. Facilities excellent

3rd marella cruise now, we like what we get for the money. Overall a wonderful holiday. Saw some beautiful places, met some wonderful people. Ship was well laid out for us. Only one sea day each week, when the synbeds were busy. Marella staff though were enforcing the time rule, no return after 45 mins, they would bag up belongings. Made it fairer for everyone.

Superb holiday, great itinerary, beautiful islands, lovely people, crew very friendly and cannot so enough for you, wish I was still there

Worst cruise ever . To many complaints to write. I have never had 1 complaint about any other cruise . Would never go back to carribean. This ship completely lost the personal touch . Staff were rude . Food was very poor choice. Smell of damp in some areas was overpowering .

This cruise is just awesome. Done the same cruise twice now but will be booking it again, absolutely love the Caribbean.

Picked this cruise for destinations. Overall ship well maintained. I think most of the budget is spent on drink. My first Marella cruise. Most likely my last. It felt like Butlins at sea

First TA wasn’t sure but it was the best cruise we have done. Wants to book another

We had a fantastic time, good food and entertainment.

Ok cruise will not do it again the excursions were to rushed

Very unhappy and ill on this cruise. Were not treated as Premium passengers despite paying the extra. Ate only Bread and cheese lunch and dinners- restaurants could not cater for special diets. Left one in tears after making special request as was so hungry. Bar staff rude and took the mickey!! Never again!!!!

Wonderful ship, lovely holiday will go on ship again well done Marella for making us so happy on our cruise and thank you Captain Richard for being a wonderful captain

As usual, enjoyed cruise immensely. All inclusive a great thing, more lines should do it

AS this was our first cruise we were a little apprehensive but we were blown away - the staff were amazing & couldn't do enugh for us. Th shows were of a very high standard as was the food - the only problem we had was remembering how to get from one area/deck to another lol
