Creator's Key Takeaways

It took 5 minutes to get on board after getting out of the taxi.

The spa on Marella Explorer 2 is the best in their fleet.

We spent 199 quid each, but that gets us our pass to the thermal suite for the whole cruise.

The service in there was great. Our starters came I think within 5 minutes of us ordering.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a pre-night hotel in Tenerife to arrive early and avoid rushing.
Consider the spa package for the whole cruise if you enjoy thermal suites and treatments.
Arrive early for dinner at Vistas Italian restaurant to avoid queues.

YouTube Video Description

We’ve officially set sail from Tenerife on the Moralla Explorer 2 and WOW… what a first 24 hours it’s been! From boarding the ship to exploring everything on board, things escalated pretty quickly (mainly thanks to a few… okay, quite a few drinks 🤭). In this vlog, we take you along for our very first day – checking out the ship, heading to the onboard Italian restaurant for our first dinner 🍝, catching an evening show in the show lounge 🎭, and soaking up those cruise vibes. BUT… not everything went to plan. We somehow managed to miss the Sail Away Party. Check out this video to find out what happened This is just the beginning of our Canary Islands cruise adventure. Footage taken February 2026. Our cruise departed Tenerife and visited the ports of: San Sebastián, La Gomera Arrecife, Lanzarote Puerto del Rosario, Fuerteventura Las Palmas, Gran Canaria Funchal, Madeira 📌 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and comment if you have any questions about this video or our travels.
