Creator's Key Takeaways

One of the things that we have discovered today is that Explorer isn't a really well set up sh well set up ship for wet weather

This dessert was really, really good and I really enjoyed it. It was very nicely presented as well and it wasn't all sort of show. It tasted as good as it looked.

The bar is very large and is smack bang in the middle of the room and it's directly in front of the stage where the where the musicians are performing.

YouTube Video Description

In April 2025 we boarded our first ever Marella cruise in Palma for a 7 night Magical Mediterannean itinerary. On day 3 of our cruise we were in the port of Ajaccio which is in Corsica. It was our first time in this port since 2013 so we were really looking forward to it. Back onboard we treated ourselves to a speciality dinner in The Dining Club, but would it be worth the extra charge? Marella is the UK's 3rd largest cruise line, operating fly cruises from across Europe and the Caribbean. It is an all-inclusive cruise line, making it different to every other cruise line that we've tried so far. We're super excited to try Marella for the first time and find out if we'd become Marella converts! #marellacruises #marella #cruise Follow us on social media - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sistersontheseas Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/sistersontheseas Our Blog - www.sistersontheseas.com
