Creator's Key Takeaways

We found the food on board to be one of the highlights of this sailing.

It was the fact that she went straight to violence full-blown anger and violence.

Getting off the ship was incredibly calm. No long waits for the lifts and no long cues to scan to get off the ship.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you have a late flight, take advantage of Marella's policy to stay on board until your transfer time.
Be discreet when filming shows to avoid disturbing others.
If someone has an issue with your filming, they should approach you calmly rather than with aggression.

YouTube Video Description

Our Final Night on Marella Explorer 2… Didn’t Go as Planned! In this final episode of our TUI Marella Explorer 2 cruise vlog series, you join us for our last sea day, final night on board and disembarkation — and honestly, it wasn’t quite the ending we wanted. We start the day with lunch in the main dining room, sharing more of our thoughts on the food on Marella Explorer 2, before taking you along for a sea day ... at sea. We talk openly about the onboard atmosphere, what there is (and isn’t) to do away from the pool, and how sea days felt compared to port days on this sailing. We go to Vistas, the Italian section of the main dining room before heading to the Broadway Show Lounge for Marella’s ABBA – Live Story show. Unfortunately, this part of the night didn’t go to plan, and we explain why we didn’t stay for the full performance. We also show you: * What a sea day on Marella Explorer 2 is really like * Final night dining in the included main dining room * The unique Marella disembarkation process This sailing is part of our first Marella fly cruise, with an itinerary that includes Gran Canaria, Tenerife, Lanzarote, and Málaga. Throughout the videos, we also share our early impressions of Marella Explorer 2, what cruising with Marella is like for the first time, and how this experience compares to other cruise lines we’ve sailed with. ▶️ New to this series?
