Barbados Marella Explorer 2 Cruise Reviews

We chose this particular cruise because of the itinerary (11 islands in 14 days). We'd been to the majority of the islands before but wanted to go back to certain islands. We paid extra to chose our cabin and we opted for 82** right at the back of the ship. The bed was right against the wall with access only at one side (so no bedside tables), the air conditioning wasn't working and the balcony ...

Arrived at the port in Barbados for two weeks on board The Explorer 2, very efficient check in and placed in cabin 91XX (with balcony). We thought the room and bathroom were somewhat tired, the bathroom was very small. Plenty of storage throughout. Overall the cabin was extremely clean. We had to ask for a bed topper as the mattress was very uncomfortable, topper unavailable but we were ...

wanted to see as many Caibbean Islands in one holiday, to be docking at a different place every morning was fabulous !! loved the Lattitude restaurant! as a vegetarian or Vegan ,the food is lovely !! Guest performers were great , in House Entertainment was Okkk . getting on and off ship was alot easier than I was expecting !! ship was big but was easy to get round to ...

Two of the party had cruised with Morella Cruises a few times previously. We went with the recommendation and must say I was at first disappointed with the size of the ship as has always cruised on much larger ships, however realised this ship did give us all what we needed. The journey from the airport, to the coach, then onto he ship was faultless. We left our cases at the airport and the next ...

Party: 2 adults from England, aged 29 and 63, previously cruised with Marella on the Dream, with NCL 4 times, and 3 other cruises in the early 00s on now defunct lines. We don't have any disabilities and we didn't use the casino, so we can't comment on these aspects, and this was an adults only ship. Summary: - Faultless service from absolutely everybody - Food surprisingly good ...

This review is an honest account of our recent experience on Marella Explorer 2. Completed 10+ cruises to date this being our fourth with Marella and first on Explorer 2. Outbound flight delayed Luggage arrived badly damaged Had to be moved from cabin 8214 (balcony) due to loud noise / vibration from the engine, it was obvious that they were aware of this problem as talking to other ...

We chose this cruise because of the itinerary: visiting 10 Caribbean islands in 2 weeks with very few sea days. We are not interested in the cruise 'experience'. For us the ship was a place to sleep and eat between visits. In addition we wanted a smaller ship and, very important, adults only. We had no illusions that this would be a luxury cruise but we were very happy with what we experienced ...

We chose this cruise because it departed from Barbados on February 16th and my birthday was the next day. My husband and I normally cruise in November and March but this year because it was my 65th birthday we decided to sail earlier. With all the rumours of coronavirus we thought we would get a vacation before the pandemic set in, never really expecting anything so serious. Needless to say, ...

We went for Marella as have been with them lots of times before and always the best for entertainment. However, we were disappointed with the shows in the first week, although they improved by the second week. We understood the team had not been together long and also that another production company are involved with explorer, and it showed. Not impressed with the Cruise Director, except for ...

Chose this 2 week cruise for the itinerary - 12 islands with only 1 sea day. Flew Gatwick - Barbados quick transfer & luggage delivered straight to cabin. Have sales on other Marella ships but first time on Explorer 2 & quite impressed. Clean & spacious and adults only with a range of bars, eateries & entertainment. Younger vibe than some other cruises we've been on. CABIN Inside cabin deck ...
