Looked like there was plenty of entertainment which you can't take for granted. Also so important to be able to find 'your spot' what ever your vibe is to really enjoy the vacation. Would not expect a smoking location to be a good place for non smokers but looks like there was a good breeze blowing through. Great tour guys!

Great tour, I was impressed by how many bars and restaurants there were. Never having been on a cruise ship I thought it was kind of like an hotel with maybe one or two bars and a restaurant. It seemed like a nice sized ship, I've seen the huge cruise ships that now use Trieste as their embarkation port (since they're not allowed to use Venice anymore) they carry up to 7000 (!!!!) passengers and crew to me that's mind boggling. Also the ships look very top heavy to me!

Great guide. We are on this ship soon and can't wait. Hey you know you can stop the flickering of the lights and screens on your footage by changing the refresh rate on your camera. On the GoPro it's helpfully called Anti Flicker and it's in General Settings in Preferences. It's either 50hz or 60hz depending on whether the ships electrics are 50hz like the UK or 60hz like the States 😁
@PostcardAndAPint6 ай бұрын
Thanks for the message. You’ll have a great time!!! Yeah, I tried changing the refresh rate, which is usually fine with fluorescent lighting, but doesn’t seem to be that effective with LED lighting. Not sure if it has a different refresh rate or not, or if the GoPro just doesn’t deal with it that well. Cheers and happy holiday.

Heck, I could just stay home and let you two do it. I'm still not convinced about cruising but I must admit I did go check out P&O for some cruises that leave from Melbourne.

No,wait a minute..just got back off the discovery. We done the explorer and discovery when it was R.C splendour of the seas.Very poor marella cruise, bar service very poor, stock limited, service now whoever shouts loudest gets served .Kora la,well, they gave me lamb instead of chicken tikka, chef,yes chef,so called, apologised saying he thought its chicken tikka 😂. Waited 10 mins while wife ate hers while hot and i ate alone on our pre booked romantic night. Limited foods available. Deffo Folks standards have seriously dropped, 67% where first time cruisers. Be aware,do your research, our 10th Marella cruise and 25th with other companies. Happy Cruisin shipmates ❤

Sorry you didn’t have the best time. To be honest we were sceptical as we’ve only ever cruised Celebrity before. We had a great experience though. Service was excellent, stock was great and no problems that you mentioned. I guess either we got lucky or you got unlucky!! Cheers for watching 🍻

Can anyone tell me what the pools are like or whether or not there is a children's pool or water slides?
@PostcardAndAPint10 ай бұрын
There are two pools on deck 11, they are separated by a raised platform used as a compere spot or stage sometimes. They’re not massive, but I think they’re a good size considering the amount of passengers. We’ve seen similar sized pools on much bigger ships. I believe there is a kids pool, but it’s part of the kids club, so your kids would use it if they were on the kids club for the day - I think! I don’t think there are slides into the deck 11 pools. Hope that helps x

am looking at going and i dont drink but i see there is an extra £160 to pay if you want better drinks now do you no if the latta coffee is free or do i need to pay that money to get latta and soft drinks
@PostcardAndAPint2 ай бұрын
In the included package - the what we call 'posh coffees' are not included and I think soft drinks in cans are not, but you can have on tap. So if you drink lots of those, then the upgrade will be worth it. If you only have a few then pay as you go would work out better. Have a brilliant time x

I love the ship, but the £400 or £500 single supplement is outrageous.

It's a lovely ship isn't it. Yes, that is outrageous though! Cheers for watching 🍻

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.
@PostcardAndAPint2 ай бұрын
That's sad to hear. She wasn't at all like that last year. Yes she's an older ship, but she was immaculately kept. We didn't do the buffet in the evening so can't comment on that. We found the entertainment to be better than P&O if I'm honest. We're glad you enjoyed your itinerary. Cheers for watching our vid 🍻

Absolutely awesome. I just watched another review of a couple on a cruise ship and this was so different in style. Loved how you covered all the bases and made it feel like I knew exactly what to do and look for should I take the plunge...well not literally of course. Great work both of you. 🩷😎🇳🇱🙋♀🇳🇿

No taking the plunge off a cruise ship is never recommended! We’re glad you enjoyed it and cheers for watching. 🍻
