Creator's Key Takeaways

We are bound to make loads of newbie mistakes as we join the Marella Explorer for a 3 night UK staycation cruise

The buffet is served to you by a member of crew. You advise what you want and walk down the food line with them.

We both went for the plowman's lunch, which was so good.

The pizza was nice, so I'm full now, very full.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Double-check your onboard account every day and go to reception if there's an issue.
โœ“If there's a long wait for a table, try the buffet or come back later.

YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

Join us as we embark on our first ever cruise! We are bound to make loads of newbie mistakes as we join the Marella Explorer for a 3 night UK staycation cruise to Dover and Portland from Southampton. MARELLA DAILY NEWSLETTER: https://www.georgeanddan.com/marellaexplorer FOR MORE CRUISE INFO: https://www.georgeanddan.com We start the day with an attempt at breakfast in Latitude 53 but unfortunately there is a 30 minute wait for a table of 2 so we end up in the Market Place buffet. After a quick chill back on the balcony watching the life boat testing we head back to Latitude 53 for a rather yummy lunch. Walking off the meals we decide to have a wander around the lower decks of the Marella Explorer and discover new areas of the ship. The evening starts with sangrias in the Mediterranean Bar and tapas in the restaurant. After we watch Life Story: Elton in the Broadway Show Lounge. A few hours later and back in the cabin we try out room service and Georgie indulges in the cruises smallest pizza.
