Creator's Key Takeaways
The crew on Marella Explorer 2 were exceptional. We didn't expect anything less. We're used to this standard of it and it is just amazing.
I'm not 100% certain it ended up being one of, if not my favorite meal on the ship. It was delicious.
Marella's entertainment is very much revolved around kind of getting everyone involved, and I mean, yeah, it is great It's a great time.

Hi everyone, In this week’s video we give our full honest review of our time onboard #marellacruises Explorer 2. We look at the overview of the ship including venues, facilities and first impressions. We also give our thoughts on the outside cabin we stayed in for our week Canarian Flavours cruise. We discuss the drinks on board and whether we thought the premium all inclusive drinks package was the right choice for us. We discuss the included dining options on board such as the main dining rooms Latitude 53, Vista & Piccadilly's, Nonna's, Snack Shack, Beach Cove and Market Place Buffet. We were also lucky to get all of the speciality dining we wanted this time so discuss Kora La, Surf & Turf and The Great Musical Afternoon Tea. We look at the options on board for both the day time (although we did only have one sea day) and evening entertainment on Marella Discovery. From quizzes to theatre shows, deck parties, Sail Away parties and live music. A stand out really was the silent disco, the entertainment team and the Broadway shows! We discuss the venues where the entertainment takes place such as the Broadway Show Lounge, Squid and Anchor and the Indigo Club and give our overall thoughts on the quality. We also discuss the service we received onboard. We give our overall review of the ship, price breakdown and if we would sail with Marella again. We hope you find this #shipreview helpful if you are considering Marella for your next cruise.
