Customer reviews for Marella Explorer
The food in latitude 53 was very bland but the other restaurants were much better. Not sure about the premium drinks package, seemed to get the same drinks as people not on it. Crew were amazing, overall had a marvellous time.
Marella Explorer is a lovely ship friendly staff, excellent drinks and tasty food and good entertainment. Would recommend it. Downside It was not a pleasant return transfer We put the dots on our luggage outside and was told to go through for the coach. When we got there nobody was helpful, the staff organising people getting on their coach for other destinations, could not be bothered with us We were there on time and there was no one waiting for any coaches Eventually we were told we missed the transfer. Omg this was so stressful because we thought we would miss the flight We got a cab in the end and paid for this The driver was brilliant and got us to the airport on time. This home trip was very stressful Other holiday makers were saying the same thing it was a nightmare
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.
