Marella Explorer Ship Tour / Deck by Deck / Hints & Tips for Your Cruise / Best Places to Go
How does this cruise ship from 1996 hold up today as I show you around the former Celebrity Galaxy. from BBC documentary ‘The Cruise’. Yes, the very ship that launched the career of Jane McDonald.
It’s been part of the Marella fleet since 2018 and is a fully inclusive cruise ship in which your flights, transfers, food, drinks and tips are all included in the price.

Very good. I enjoyed that. We sailed on explorer from Southampton just after lockdown. Going to Canaries on her Mid April 2024 ( Next week ). Sailed with Tui / Marella about 13 or 14 times now. Loved every one of them. Jim

I’m sure you’ll have a wonderful time. We asked about the afternoon tea at guest services when we boarded but as it was very late we were told that it was booked. Then we were approached by a crew member who asked for our cabin number and said to leave it with him. We got a letter in the cabin the following day and the man who spoke to us was the Captain himself! Good luck getting a reservation on your Birthday 🥳

Just back from one week on the Marella Explorer, and can only describe it as Benidorm at sea with a lot of Butlins style entertainment, and I'm no prude, I would imagine she will be getting hacked to pieces in an Indian decommissioning ship wrecking yard very soon. A lot of areas smelt of open drains, poorest quality buffet ever seen (on land or sea) with maybe 4 evening choices of very poor quality food as was breakfast and lunch....................The places visited were very nice, but as for the ship its a true saying, you cant polish a turd.

Marella ships aren’t for everyone and it’s always good to know what things are like before you book. I feel that much of your criticism could quite easily be said about P&O, even with their newer ships. Which ship has been the best that you’ve sailed on?

This is a great looking ship. I could tell it was aging a bit. But it looks pretty good for a ship from 1996. Lots of cool public areas, restaurants and shows from the looks of it. Fully inclusive - including your flights? That is a great deal. Except for the ice cream which is a small upcharge. Is the Great Musical Afternoon Tea included in the price of the cruise?
@ALifeintheParks
@ALifeintheParks 8 месяцев назад
Yes, everything is included in the price and knowing the ship will wait for the place to arrive is a great. The Great Musical Afternoon Tea is extra but it was only £15 and was a real experience, more to come on that very soon. Many thanks for watching ☺️

Excellent tour, loved our walk with you!! Fried bread!!! Wow haven’t seen that for 20 years!! Must say in general it looks great for its age, maybe a bit worn on deck, but inside 👍 Glad entertainment was good, it’s big strength of Tui. Really need to get on Marella prices just so high in school holidays. Thanks for sharing.
@ALifeintheParks
@ALifeintheParks 10 месяцев назад
Only 1 person out of our group tried the fried bread and only because they thought it was a hash brown 😂 Keep an eye out for deals, we’ve booked for the Explorer 2 for Easter and got a decent deal. There were lots of kids on this late October sailing so it depends why dates the schools are closed.
