Marella Explorer 2

All the crew were amazing - we felt really well looked after. We were impressed with how clean the ship was kept and the friendliness of all the staff. Their attention to detail was also fantastic in looking after my wife's diabetic meal requirements.

Poor food, undercooked pork with blood coming out of it, nowhere to sit in the evenings, lifts not working, not enough sun beds put out, the rest remained tied up to the ship. The ship itself looked tired with rust and parts of the ceiling about to fall down or broken, I was very disappointed after sailing with tui five times and not had any problems on all ships before. Compared with the Discovery the Dream is rubbish and also not being able to dock in Monte Carlo was a disappointment .

The excursions were difficult because the comfort breaks were few and far between and a long way to walk. Most people were older and some would be on water tablets and as one gets older toilet stops are needed especially after an early start. It spoilt the tours for me. My husband needs disabled toilets too and they were very difficult to find. We asked about comfort stops when booking and were assured there would be plenty.

Excellent crew. Nice cabin, with plenty of storage space, well soundproofed. Always enjoy Tui's shows but was disappointed this time with choice of material. Dancers/ singers always gave their best.
