Creator's Key Takeaways
With such a short time in port, it's actually worth getting off the ship.
Mela Cruisers offer a small amount of excursions available in Corsica. Or you can get off the ship and just keep walking.
I enjoyed my prawn cocktail, but I wouldn't go 10 out of 10 yet. I'm going nine out of 10.
The bar staff was just amazing. That show was really good. Enjoyed it a lot.

Marella Cruises | Is It Even Worth Getting Off The Ship Here? Thinking about booking a Marella cruise to Corsica but worried about a short itinerary? In this comprehensive Marella Explorer 2 review, we take you along for our day in port where we faced a major cruise dilemma: With only 5 hours in port, should you stay on the cruise ship or get off and explore? Corsica offers very few official Marella cruise shore excursions, and booking ship-organized tours can quickly drain your travel budget. In this video, we share a brilliant DIY cruise port hack that saved us massive money compared to the cruise line prices. We’ll break down the exact costs of the local port bus tour versus the little tourist train, and how to manage your limited time in port so you don't miss the ship! But the adventure doesn't stop at the cruise pier. Once back on board Marella Explorer 2, we dive headfirst into a full day of Marella Cruises food and entertainment. From a full breakfast buffet review to pool deck dining highlights (including the Snack Shack, Grab & Go, and specialized sandwich bars), we show you exactly what to expect. We even head to the Main Dining Room for a complete 3-course dinner review with our family and wrap up the night checking out the cruise ship entertainment and the late-night midnight buffet snacks.
