Marella Explorer 2 Cruise Ship Tour & Review

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Jamie provides a comprehensive tour of the Marella Explorer 2, covering passenger decks from deck 4 through deck 15. The video details various dining options, distinguishing between those included in the cruise fare, such as the main dining room and Mediterranean tapas, and specialty restaurants like the Dining Club or Surf and Turf steakhouse that require a surcharge. The creator explores the ship's layout, noting the two tier structure of the Broadway show lounge and the promenade that spans two decks. Facilities highlighted include the atrium, the marketplace buffet, and various bars such as the Coffee Pot and the 19th Hole. The tour also examines wellness and leisure amenities, including the champagne spa, thermal suite, saltwater pools, and a running track. Jamie observes that while the ship is twenty seven years old, the onboard venues and spaces are well utilized. The review concludes with a look at the deck 14 veranda and the mini golf located on deck 15, ultimately suggesting that the quality of the experience depends more on the interior atmosphere than the age of the vessel.

Creator's Key Takeaways
i'm really pleased to see that promenade is used very well it's very wide there's lounges tables chairs you can enjoy your time here
yes you've guessed it the show lounge has two tears for a 27 year old ship i've got to be honest i think this venue is superb
we felt very much at home almost immediately on boarding this ship age is a mere number after all and actually it's about what's on the inside that counts
this is without doubt one of the quietest spots on the ship and you also have those amazing aft views
