Creator's Key Takeaways

Personally, we don't think so. We had no trouble finding a sun lounger and throughout the day there was still plenty of places to sit around the ship.

The show cast on board Marella Explorer 2 has to be the best that we've seen across the Marella ships.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Switch your phone to airplane mode to avoid expensive maritime network charges.
Arrive early to the pool deck if you want prime front-facing sun loungers.

How busy is a sea day on Marella Explorer 2 really? Today we're putting Marella Cruises' adults-only ship to the test to find out whether a full sea day feels relaxed… or surprisingly crowded (Vlog 4). Sea days are often the busiest days of any cruise, so we wanted to see what it's really like onboard the Marella Explorer 2 cruise ship when everyone is at sea together. Is there enough space to relax, are the bars and restaurants crowded, and does an adults-only ship feel any quieter than a family cruise ship? In this vlog, we take you around Marella Explorer 2 as we make the most of our sea day, sharing our honest thoughts on the atmosphere onboard, the entertainment, and whether the ship ever feels overcrowded. We also visit more of the ship's popular venues, giving you a closer look at the Marella Explorer 2 bars, restaurants and public spaces as we continue our Marella Explorer 2 cruise. If you're planning a Marella Explorer 2 Canary Islands cruise, looking for a detailed Marella Explorer 2 review, or wondering whether an adults-only cruise with Marella Cruises is right for you, this vlog will give you a realistic idea of what to expect on a sea day. Whether you're researching Marella Explorer 2 food, Marella Explorer 2 entertainment, Marella Explorer 2 buffet, or simply asking yourself "Is Marella Explorer 2 a good ship?", join us as we experience one of the most important days of any cruise - a full sea day onboard Marella Explorer 2.
