Marella Explorer 2 | Palamos, Our PLANS Went Completely WRONG! Thinking of visiting Palamos Cruise Port, Spain on Marella Explorer 2? In this Palamos Costa Brava cruise port guide, we show you exactly what to expect, from the Marella Cruises shore excursions to exploring the town on your own, and why our plans completely fell apart! After discovering the tourist train was fully booked onboard, we thought we'd simply catch the free shuttle bus into Palamós and buy tickets ourselves. Unfortunately, the train wasn't running at all! Was it still worth getting off the ship? We'll show you the town, the beautiful Palamós beach, and why this could actually be one of the best ports on the Costa Brava Cruise for families visiting on a Marella cruises. Back onboard Marella Explorer 2, we take you through another full day at sea and in port. We enjoy breakfast in the main dining room, show you the current Coffee Port menu and prices, join the pool deck quiz, see the afternoon BBQ, enjoy dinner in the main dining room, browse the duty-free shops, watch another stunning Mediterranean sunset, grab a drink in the 19th Hole, enjoy tonight's theatre show, win a prize at bingo in the Squid & Anchor, listen to The Collective Band in the Indigo Bar, and finish the evening with the famous late-night buffet. This is also the final night for many passengers... but not for us! We're staying onboard for a back-to-back cruise, with another seven nights, brand-new cruise ports, and plenty more adventures still to come.
