Creator's Key Takeaways
we've been lucky to cruise on both Mela Discovery and Mela Explorer both ships are firm favorites with the Mella Community
the standard of food was excellent so how are we going to differentiate between the two ships in this category
we felt that the cabin on the Explorer was slightly better we're going to give Discovery two points but we're going to give the cabin on the Explorer Four Points
the Explorer is the winner it has better inside cabins for starters it felt less crowded we thought there was a better range of music venues and the food was better

Marella Cruises are one of the favourite cruise lines amongst UK cruise passengers. Formerly Thompson Cruises, this Tui owned line has sought to offer good value, all inclusive cruise experiences to tempt those new to cruising. Whilst they run a fleet of refurbished older ships, they focus on entertainment and value for money with itineraries packed with port stops. The current Marella fleet has the Marella Discovery and the Marella Explorer as the main stalwarts and favourites amongst loyal passengers who cruise on them time and again. These ships are fairly small mid range ships and don’t offer the range of facilities you’ll get on the modern mega ships being operated by rival lines. But that said Marella have been incredibly successful with these two ships really catapulting the line to its recent successes. However the two ships are very different, have different designs, layouts and facilities. They both feel very Marella but have different things to offer the passengers. In this video we will go through the main differences between them and also indicate which of the two ships has become our favourite Marella ship. We’ll look at the following: - Cabins - Public Spaces - Facilities - Dining - Bars - Entertainment - Ships atmosphere We hope this video helps you decide which of the two ships to try and also shows you why you are almost to enjoy your holiday with Marella. #marellacruises #cruisevlog #marella #marellaexplorer #marelladiscovery Please subscribe to see more content like this - https://youtube.com/@CooksExplore?sub_confirmation=1 Chapters 00:00 Introduction 00:33 About the ships 01:30 Cabins 03:04 Public Spaces 05:31 Facilities 06:39 Dining 08:53 Bars 11:38 Entertainment 12:19 Ships Atmosphere 13:20 Final Scores
