Customer reviews for Marella Explorer
Not a cruise line to use if you enjoy a nice dining experience, food was bland, with almost raw potatoes. And was often served cold. The ice cream in the market place you could drink it was that watery. The showcase performances were very good and some other good singers and bands onboard.
Crew were great, as always. Plenty to do. Huge balcony.
Been on this ship before and always think its a shame there is no wow factor Atrium or indoor pool like other ones . Been on all Marella ships except Voyage. Still great service staff ect
If you like a smaller ship and value for money Marella are a great choice!
