Welcome to our video showing you the layout of the Marella Discovery 2. We spent 2 weeks onboard and learnt a lot of things about her that we want to share with you so you can have the best experience possible on holiday.
We have a lot of content coming up over the next few weeks on the Marella Discovery 2 including cabin tour, embarkation day, food review, drinks review, sea day hints and tips, how to get a premium experience onboard, dress to impress review, and entertainment review.
After this we will also be uploading our content on our port visits to South East Asia.
We try to produce videos that we would want to watch that are informative, entertaining and humorous.
If you have any questions about the Marella Discovery 2 please drop us a comment and we will do our best to answer it.
If you have found this video interesting, informative or entertaining could you please consider subscribing, liking and commenting. This is totally free but just helps us grow our small channel and hopefully our content will be seen by a larger audience. If you have friends or family who are interested in cruising please consider sharing our content with them.
Thank you so much for joining us. We appreciate every single person who watches our vlogs.
Also a big shout out to all the amazing staff on the Marella Discovery 2 who were absolutely fabulous and made our holiday a great success.

Was on this ship for the first time in November 2023 and I agree with all that you have said - a lovely layout and plenty of space just as long as you do not want a poolside lounger. Also good food - for the most part and good service from the hard working staff and crew.

Marella Discovery 2 was my 2nd ever cruise - it's great to see she's ageing so well - hasn't changed at all since I was onboard about 6 years ago. Great ship tour!

@TravellingLightLisa 3 ай бұрын

Thanks so much, Fraser. It was our first ever ship tour (apart from a river cruise boat tour), so praise from a seasoned pro like yourself was nice to wake up to this morning! We found that she was perfectly fine and most complaints were unjustified. Glad our video brought back some memories for you. Thanks for watching. Happy travels!

hi love your vlogs on marella, great food review and yes pastry looks awefull !! has been a great insight as we are potential first time cruisers, one thing i cant find information on is the cruise we are looking at gets into final port around 6.00 am, so assume we would get kicked off around 10.00-11.00am , transfers to airport are included however our flight is 9.30pm . do they simply take you to airport many hours before you actually need to be there? i predict that would be a 9 hr wait before flight any info would be greatly appreciated

@TravellingLightLisa Ай бұрын

They tend to allow you to remain on the ship and enjoy the facilities until your transfer coach leaves. You won't have an excessively long wait at the airport unless the plane is delayed. Thanks for watching. 👍

They don't search you when you leave the ship, and they haven't caught us yet! 😀 Just be careful of local customs as it can be illegal to bring certain foodstuffs ashore.

@@TravellingLightLisa thanks for the quick reply! How early do the breakfast / food places tend to open up?

@TravellingLightLisa 3 ай бұрын

@olliebennettt it depends whether it is a sea day or port day. If I recall the buffet was generally open around 7.30 and the restaurants around 8. For anyone on very early excursions there was always an opportunity to eat before trips. Times can vary, but the information is always on the app and in the Cruise News leaflet. Hope this helps. 👍

We are off on a weeks med cruise in a few weeks for our honeymoon. The only thing I am unsure about is day 1 - our flight is 6am so we should arrive in the port by lunchtime and the ship doesn't sail till 10pm. Do we have acces to ship/all inclusive for food etc after a certain time and do you know if we are allowed to walk around the local port of Palma before we set sail?

@TravellingLightLisa 13 күн бұрын

Once you are on board you have access to all the ships facilities, including bars, restaurants and buffet if they are open. You can also disembark as long as you are back by the return time. Congratulations, and I hope you have a fantastic honeymoon! Make sure you let Marella know it is a special holiday - they may look after you even better! Thanks for watching 👍

Hi guys, enjoyed your videos on Discovery 2, we are due to go on the same trip to Singapore on this ship at the end of March, can you tell me if you had to have any vaccinations before going on this trip, we have found it a bit confusing to find out if we require any. Cheers Alex

How much are the excursions on average, travelling two adults/one child example would be the trip to Livorno??

@TravellingLightLisa 2 ай бұрын

Excursions are very variable. Some are walking tours of the port area and can cost £20 to £30. Some are coach tours and will cost £30 to £80. Some are experiences such as having included meals, boat rides, and other add ons. These can cost even more. As much as possible, we try to do our own thing, particularly when we took the children as costs of excursions can rack up quickly. Try 'what's in port' website for ideas of what you can do. We have a video in Livorno and what was there. Trips from Livorno include Florence and Pisa. Lucca is also very nice. Thanks for watching 👍
