Creator's Key Takeaways

We ended up in cabin 9249 at the aft of the ship near the kids club and it's sandwiched between two other passenger decks.

So far plenty of storage space alone in just these two wardrobes. So, very impressive.

This shower has been one of the most powerful and one of our favorite showers of all time with a cruise, I'd say.

Overall, extremely satisfied. And we book again.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check the back of your cabin door for your muster station location.
Use the wardrobe storage for suitcases and avoid putting large cases under the bed.
Bring a universal adapter for charging devices, as outlets are limited.
Don't flush anything bulky down the toilet due to the suction system.

YouTube Video Description

So this is where our Marella Explorer Cruise begins - and we’re staying in an inside cabin on this almost 30-year-old cruise ship! But what’s it really like onboard Marella Explorer these days? Join us for a Marella Explorer inside cabin tour of cabin #9249 on this nearly 30-year-old cruise ship! How does it compare to the other ships in the Marella Cruises fleet? Let’s find out! In this video, we’ll show you around our aft inside cabin (#9249) on deck 9 aboard Marella Explorer during our Canary Islands cruise. While you can choose your own cabin for a charge starting from £70 per person, we opted for a guaranteed cabin, meaning the cruise line allocated our cabin for us. At nearly 30 years old, Marella Explorer is no spring chicken - but can an older cabin still impress? Watch as we share our honest review of this classic ship’s inside cabin experience.
