If you’re booking a cruise on Marella Explorer, you’ve got some big decisions to make. Once the date and itinerary are nailed down, you’ll then need to choose which cabin you want for your cruise.

Your cabin won’t usually make or break your cruise, but it’s still important. You need to find the right one for your budget, and that fits the type of experience you’re hoping to enjoy, but if you don’t have one that’s absolutely perfect, you can still have a fantastic holiday.

And yet, there are some cabins best avoided. Whether due to their position on the ship, or some other strange ship design reason, there are a handful of cabins that may put a bit of a dampener on your overall cruise.

Which is why I’ve put this guide together. I’ll take you through all of the cabin choices on Marella Explorer, and let you know the cabins that, depending on you and what you want from your break, you may wish to steer clear of when you book your sailing.

Cabin types on Marella Explorer

There are four main types of cabins on Marella Explorer and several sub-categories within those.

• Inside – including Family Inside and Single Inside
• Outside – including Large Outside and Single Outside
• Balcony – including Large Balcony and Family Balcony
• Suites – Junior Suites and Executive Suites

Let’s take a closer look at each of these in turn, so that you fully understand the options available to you.

Inside Cabins

Marella Explorer has four main types of Inside Cabin for you to choose from:

Inside Cabins are the smallest and cheapest options for accommodation on Marella Explorer, just like they are for any other cruise ship. They’re great if you’re trying to stick to a budget, or if you just don’t plan on seeing your cabin much, beyond sleeping and showering.

There are several options on Marella Explorer, including some that sleep two guests and some that sleep up to four, using fold-down beds. There are two types of fold-down beds on cruise ships – those where they sit against the wall and those that are hidden in the ceiling. Marella Explorer has the latter, which is better, since it means they don’t take up space in the room when not in use.

The Family Inside Cabins on Marella Explorer are rare – it’s not often you’ll find any cruise ship cabin that sleeps five guests, especially an Inside one. If you want a cheaper holiday with the clan, then these are a fantastic choice – you get a queen-sized bed, a separate sleeping area with a double sofa bed, and a single fold-down bed.

A quick note on the Single Inside cabin as well – it’s not strictly a different cabin type, even though Marella Cruises labels it as its own cabin. 

By that, I mean you actually get a standard Inside Cabin, with two twin beds that can be converted into a queen-sized bed (and why wouldn’t you?). But you will pay a single passenger rate. Technically these rooms could sleep two, but you can’t get away with booking a Single room and bringing someone with you!

Outside Cabins

There are four main types of Outside Cabin on Marella Explorer:

Outside Cabins are a step up from Inside Cabins – they cost a little more, but in exchange, you get a small view and some natural light, which can be helpful for knowing the time of day without having to check your phone screen. Being able to focus on a point on the horizon can also help some people who suffer from seasickness.

The Outside Cabins on Marella Explorer either come with a porthole or a picture window. It’s better to get one with a picture window if you can – the portholes are small and don’t give you much of a view, or let in much natural light.

Again, there are some that sleep two guests and some that have fold-down beds for up to four guests in total.

The Large Outside Cabins all have a picture window, and they’re just slightly larger versions of the same room. If you value extra storage space or just more room to walk around your bed, these are a good option.

And yes, again, the Single Outside Cabins are just regular Outside Cabins sold at a special price for solo travellers. So you technically have the option of having the bed as a twin or as a queen-sized bed. I know what I would pick.

Balcony Cabins

There are three different types of Balcony Cabin on Marella Explorer:

Balcony Cabins are those where you have a private balcony area – somewhere you can sit outside and soak up the sea air and the view. It’s a lovely place to relax during the day, or to watch the sunrise or sunset (depending on which side of the ship you’re on).

The standard Balcony Cabins are the same size as an Outside Cabin, but that’s just the internal floorspace – the actual balconies aren’t included in the measurements provided by Marella. So you are still getting more space, but it’s all outside.

What’s unusual is that a Marella Explorer Large Balcony cabin is actually smaller inside!

With a Standard Balcony you get 17 square metres, whereas a Large Balcony has only 16 square metres! Any extra space you do get is outside.

And then you have a Family Balcony Cabin, which can sleep up to five people – they have a double bed, a double sofa bed and a fold-down bed. They’d be a bit cosy for five adults/teens but would be a good choice for younger families.

Premier Service

Premier Service is the name given to a set of extra perks that some guests on Marella Cruises can enjoy. They’re sort of like suite perks that you’d get on some other cruise ships. However, I’ve included them here because they’re not just available with suites – you also get them if you book a Family Balcony Cabin.

Also, the Premier Service benefits aren’t a huge list of perks. In fact, you only get two benefits from rooms with the service:

• Free pressing service for up to 3 items of clothing per guest, in the first 24 hours of your cruise only
• Free continental breakfast in bed for each person, once per week

The pressing service is handy if you’re worried about bringing your formal wear onto the ship in a neat state, and the breakfast in bed is nice to enjoy on a lazier morning, but neither are services you couldn’t also enjoy for a small fee.

Suites

There are two types of suites on Marella Explorer:

If you want the very best accommodation on a cruise ship, you’re going to want to look at the suites. And that’s the same with Marella Explorer – although there are only two suite categories to choose from.

Balcony Junior Suites

A Balcony Junior Suite is simply a larger version of a regular Balcony Cabin, although remember you also get the Premier Service perks as well. The room has a queen-sized bed and a single sofa bed, making these the only Marella Explorer 3 berth cabin you can book. The spacious balcony has plenty of space to unwind, too.

Executive Suites

The Executive Suites are the best rooms on the ship. They are more than twice the size of a Balcony Junior Suite, with a separate bedroom and living area. They sleep up to four guests – the bedroom has a fixed queen-sized bed and the sofa is a double sofa bed. Again, the Premier Service is included.

Adapted Cabins on Marella Explorer

There are a handful of adapted cabins suitable for wheelchair users on Marella Explorer, even though they aren’t listed in the ship’s cabin information on the cruise line’s website. Instead, you need to find them on the deck plans – don’t worry, I’ve done it for you.

There is one Inside Cabin and seven Outside Cabins that are wheelchair accessible. They’re all on Deck 5, and they’re all larger than a standard room, although the actual floorspace isn’t published. As well as being wider, they have a fully adapted wet room.

If you need a wheelchair-friendly room be sure to specify that when you’re booking. Since there are only eight you should book your cruises as early as possible, to avoid disappointment.

Choosing the best cabin

Choosing the best cabin on a cruise ship – whether that’s Marella Explorer or any other ship – gives you a lot to think about. You need to consider the size, the location, and any other little quirks that might either make or break your cruise getaway.

It’s a lot to remember, but to make it easier for you I’ve put together a handy checklist. You can refer back to this whenever you’re booking a cruise, and just work through it to make sure you don’t accidentally book a room that’s not suitable for you.

Just enter your name and email address and I’ll send it to you.

Cabins to avoid on Marella Explorer

Here are the cabins you’ll want to consider avoiding on Marella Explorer. With some of the cabins, it depends on what kind of cruise passenger you are, while others are a more broad recommendation to steer clear.

1. Cabins with a porthole

4010, 4011, 5000, 5001, 5002, 5003, 5004, 5005, 5010, 5012, 5014, 5015, 5016, 5017, 5019, 5023

The Outside Cabins on Decks 4 and 5 are advertised as having either a picture window or a porthole, but the only way to know which one you’re getting is to check the deck plans and see which ones are marked as being a porthole. Otherwise, you could accidentally book one without knowing.

That list is all the cabins with a porthole and I’d suggest you avoid them. The portholes are small and don’t offer any kind of view, really, and they also limit the amount of natural light you’ll get in the room.

I’d suggest that it’s better to book a regular Inside Cabin than it is to book a porthole room – you won’t miss out on any of the benefits and you’ll save money too.

2. Deck 12 rooms if you get seasick

12000 to 12043

If you’re someone who is prone to feeling seasick then you should aim to avoid the highest cabins on a ship. You’ll feel the movement of the ocean more when you’re higher up, and that’s what triggers the feeling of sickness.

The highest rooms on Marella Explorer are on Deck 12, so if you think you might struggle with seasickness then I’d steer clear. Instead, aim to book a room on a lower deck in a mid-ship area. Being near the front or aft of the ship can also amplify the feeling.

The worst cabins are the Inside Cabins on Deck 12. Not only do you feel more movement, but because you’ve got no view you can’t just focus on the horizon – a helpful tip for controlling the feeling of motion. 

3. Connecting cabins if you don’t need them

Various locations

As well as having a selection of Family Inside and Family Balcony cabins on the ship, Marella Explorer has another option suitable for families and groups – connecting cabins. These work in the same way as connecting cabins on any other ship – side-by-side cabins with a door between them.

When you book just one connecting cabin, that door stays locked. But if you book both cabins, the door will be unlocked for you and you can open up the space to create a larger shared cabin, instead of two separate ones.

But if you are only booking one cabin, I’d avoid a connecting one. Yes, the door stays locked, but the door is thinner than a wall, and so you’ll hear more of what your neighbours are doing. If they argue or watch TV a little loud, it might disturb you.

4. Cabins next to a lift

4147, 8215, 9202, 9211, 10135, 12042, 12043

Having a cabin that’s near a lift can be a good thing or a bad thing. The positives are that you never have far to walk to be able to access any part of the ship. But then, because people are constantly walking past your cabin to get to the lifts, the corridors can be a little noisier, especially in the morning and at night when you might be trying to sleep.

However, there are a selection of cabins that aren’t just near a lift – they’re directly adjacent. And in those, there’s not just the risk of noise from people but also noise from the mechanics of the lifts themselves.

It’s hardly super loud, but you might be able to hear it, and if you’re a light sleeper you might find it annoying. The risk is low but if you do book one of these rooms, consider taking some earplugs just in case.

5. Cabins above the Broadway Show Lounge

8000 to 8069

The Broadway Show Lounge is situated towards the front of the ship on Deck 7 and it hosts a range of live performances throughout the cruise. The lounge is typically open from 5 pm until 11 pm.

There are cabins directly above though, and if you’re someone who enjoys an earlier bedtime, you might prefer to book a cabin elsewhere. Noise can seep through the floor, and while it will be muffled it can be distracting.

It’s not an issue if you’re someone who is up late, but it’s worth bearing in mind.

6. Cabins above the Squid & Anchor

8196 to 8269

The second live entertainment venue on the Marella Explorer is the Squid & Anchor, situated towards the aft of the ship on Deck 7. And so again, if you’re someone who prefers to be awake early and then asleep early, it might be best to book elsewhere.

Again, the shows don’t tend to run past 11 pm so it’s not super late. In fact, Marella Cruises tends to be one of the cruise lines that is a better choice for those going to bed earlier – there’s not a lot of noise past 11 pm across the ship.

Still, if you’re usually tucked up and asleep before 10 pm, find a quieter spot for your cabin.

7. Cabins directly under the pool area

10024 to 10065

Another noise-related one here but the opposite problem to the Broadway Show Lounge and Squid & Anchor – this is an important tip for those who prefer a lie-in in the morning.

The pool on Marella Explorer is situated on Deck 11 and it’s a popular spot – a lot of people who cruise with Marella enjoy spending their day lounging around, feeling the warm sun and sipping on cocktails. As such, pool loungers are in high demand.

And so people will often head to the pool deck early to grab one. Only, they’re tidied away, and then need to move them into place, which they sometimes do by dragging them across the wooden deck.

Yes, you can sometimes hear it if you’re staying in Marella Explorer cabins on Deck 10, and that low dragging growl can be annoying if you’re trying to snooze late. 

The problem is worse with the Inside Cabins since they’re right underneath the sides of the pool – the Suites and Balcony Cabins are obviously at the sides of the ship and so loungers don’t tend to be dragged to those locations, but you might hear it faintly.

8. Inside Cabins when travelling with teens or adult groups

It’s not every cruise line that has Inside Cabins that are suitable for families. It’s not rare, but it’s certainly not something you’d find on every ship.

So for Marella Explorer to have 4-berth Inside Cabins, and Family Inside Cabins that sleep up to 5 guests, is pretty cool. Except that you should be careful booking them if you’re not travelling with younger kids.

The rooms aren’t huge. The Family Inside Cabins are decent, but the other Inside Cabins aren’t great and if you were considering booking them to take your teenagers or other adults with you, you won’t have much room.

If your kids are older, or you’re sailing with other adults. I’d look at connecting staterooms or one of the more spacious Marella Explorer 4 berth cabin options.

9. Large Balcony Cabins next to the kids’ pool

9242 and 9255

Deck 9 is where you’ll find the kids’ clubs on Marella Explorer, and also a dedicated pool just for the little ones. They’re situated right at the aft, with the sides of the balcony being close to the decking area for the kids’ pool

If travelling with kids then it’s a handy location but if you aren’t – or if you’ve packed the kids off to the M Club for the day – then the balcony is not the calmest. There will be kids having a splashing good time in their dedicated pool and the volume will carry to the space where you’re trying to relax.

If you prefer your balcony to be more of a peaceful retreat, I’d look for one of the other Marella Explorer cabins on Deck 9 closer to the middle of the ship, or another deck altogether.

The best cabins on the ship

While it again depends on what you want from your cruise holiday, here’s a quick look at some of the best cabins on Marella Explorer:

1. Single Inside and Outside Cabins

There are a number of dedicated Single Cabins on Marella Explorer, both Inside and Outside. But unlike other cruise lines that offer single cabins (and not all do), they aren’t just tiny rooms with a single bed.

Instead, you’re essentially getting a full Inside or Outside Cabin to yourself, including the double bed. That’s not very common but I love that Marella Cruises is offering that, because solo passengers likely have a double room at home and shouldn’t have to sleep in a less comfy bed when on holiday.

2. Aft-view balcony rooms

8228, 8230, 8232, 8234, 8236, 8263, 8265, 8267, 8269, 10160, 10162, 10164, 10169, 10170, 10171, 10177

Some of the most popular rooms on a cruise ship are those with a view over the aft, whether that’s a window view or a balcony. Being able to watch the wake of the ship, and be sheltered from the wind, is a huge bonus.

Marella Explorer has aft-view Balcony Cabins on Decks 8 and 10. Most of them are Family Balcony rooms, and are well-worth booking. There are also two Large Balcony Cabins – 10170 and 10177 – which have balconies that are wider instead of longer, which might be preferable.

3. Rooms right next to the kids’ club (if sailing with children!)

9206 to 9255

I’ve maintained throughout that this guide is subjective and these rooms are only some of the best if you’re sailing with kids who’ll make use of the M Club or Mini M Club.

There are a number of staterooms very close to these clubs, and the kids’ pool, and it’s a great place to be if you intend to use these clubs a lot. The kids will love being so close to all the fun activities and you won’t ever have to walk far to pick them up.

4. Deck 12 rooms for pool access

12000 to 12043

While I’ve already said these rooms aren’t great if you suffer from seasickness, the good news is that most people don’t. And if you’re someone who doesn’t get nauseous at sea, then Deck 12 is a fantastic spot.

You can choose from a Marella Explorer Junior Suite or Large Balcony Cabin to enjoy fantastic views, but even the Inside Cabins are in a great location if you want to get to the pool easily, or to the Family Deck with the Sports Court.

It’s a prime spot, so these rooms do tend to book out early, but being able to go from your room to a lounger within 30 seconds is a real treat.

Final thoughts

That’s the full list of cabins on Marella Explorer covered, as well as my tips on those you’ll want to avoid and some of the best choices too.

Remember that a lot of these tips are subjective, and also none of the cabins are outright bad. But hopefully, the information here can help you to find your perfect cruise cabin.

When I was researching this guide I spent a lot of time looking over the Marella Explorer deck plans, but I also checked out forums and Facebook pages too.

A Marella cruise is a fantastic way to explore the world in comfort and style – but just how comfortable can you get during dinner?

A lot of cruise lines still operate a dress code, and before you start packing your suitcase, it’s important to know what you need to bring so you aren’t out of place.

Marella’s relaxed dress code

Marella Cruises does have dress codes on the ship, but they are quite relaxed compared to some other cruise lines. There are three different levels of dress code to make it easy for guests to understand what to wear when they’re in different areas of the ship.

The dress code on a Marella ship can vary depending on the time of day. A restaurant may have a more relaxed dress code for lunch, for example, than it does for dinner. So guests are advised to check what the code is for their chosen restaurant for the evening.

To simplify the dress code, Marella has three different categories, which are Beachwear, Casual, and Smart. You just need to check which of these three dress codes applies to your restaurant.

Marella Beachwear dress code

The Marella Beachwear dress code is the most relaxed on the ship, and it means that you can pretty much wear whatever you want, including swimwear and flip flops. The only hard rule is that you must have something on your feet at all times.

That’s mainly for safety reasons, in case there was any broken glass somewhere that hadn’t yet been spotted, but it’s more hygienic too.

The Beachwear dress code will apply in some of the more relaxed venues on the ship, including the snacking areas.

Marella Casual dress code

The Marella Casual dress code is a step-up from the Beachwear code, and it’s often found in the restaurants on the ship at lunch time. With the Casual dress code, you can still wear any type of clothing you like, but with the exception of beach or swimwear.

Flip flops are still fine with this dress code though.

Marella Smart dress code

The Smart dress code for Marella is considered the most formal, but it’s still quite relaxed. It’ll apply to many of the restaurants for dinner. The Smart dress code permits shirts, dresses, skirts, trousers, jeans, and tailored shorts. Shirts can include polo shirts or open collar – there’s no need for a tie or jacket.

You’re not allowed to wear flip-flops with this dress code – closed-toe footwear is needed, but a pair of smart, non-sporty trainers would be acceptable. The specific items banned include sportswear (especially football shirts), caps, any beachwear, and non-tailored shorts.

If you’re travelling on a family ship and you have young children with you, they don’t need to stick to the same dress code as the adults. But if you’re sailing with teens, it’d be better to have them dress in the same way as the adults in your party.

There’s not a ‘formal’ formal night, but…

Marella Cruises usually has one night per 7-day cruise that is designated as a ‘Dress to Impress’ night. It’s where guests are encouraged to get dressed up in more formal clothing if they wish, although guests can just turn up in the regular Smart dress code if they prefer.

A lot of guests still enjoy the feeling of putting on their most glamorous suits and cocktail dresses for a night, but there are also many who don’t want to have to pack their best formal clothing, or just prefer the more relaxed feel of a smart-casual outfit.

Marella caters for both with the Dress to Impress night, since you’re welcome to choose either. And if you don’t want to feel like you’re underdressed, you can head to any of the other restaurants on the ship – the Dress to Impress night is typically limited to the main restaurant only.

And because on a Marella cruise, you’ve always got a choice of restaurants included in your fare, you don’t have to worry about paying extra to go and eat in a speciality restaurant, or stick to the buffet, if you’re trying to avoid dressing up.

A 6-night or 7-night Marella cruise will usually have one Dress to Impress night, with one additional night for every additional week of the cruise.

The day of Dress to Impress varies…

The Dress to Impress nights will usually happen on a sea day, but it’s not set on which day it will be. If your cruise doesn’t have any sea days, then the formal night could be any of the cruise, except for the first night, when guests haven’t had the time to fully unpack.

With Dress to Impress nights being all about those guests who want to look their best and don their fanciest clothing, it’s no fun if they have to rush to get ready after boarding the ship. It’s also preferable for a sea day so that guests aren’t obliged to rush back to the ship early from their port.

Why Marella Cruises?

There are loads of fantastic reasons to book a Marella cruise, and their relaxed approach to dress codes is just one of them. Marella Cruises offers great value cruising with all-inclusive fares, so you get your meals, drinks, entertainment and gratuities all included, along with flights from an airport near you.

The whole experience is super-easy too – check in at the airport with your luggage, and the next time you’ll see it will be at your cabin on the ship. Perfect if you’re packing your formal clothing and don’t want to worry about it en route to the port.

And there are many fantastic destinations to enjoy too, all over the world. If you like the idea of soaking up the sunset views of a tropical paradise in the early evening, while glammed up in your favourite dress or suit, then it’s a great cruise line to choose.

Equally, if you don’t want to stick to more smart-casual clothing choices whilst cruising around some of the warmer climates of the world, you can do that too.

When you board a Marella Cruises, almost everything is taken care of for you. You’ll be able to dine on a huge range of incredible food options, your drinks are paid for too, and you can enjoy hours of live entertainment as you’re whisked around the globe.

However, they can’t dress you, so you will have to bring your own luggage!

There are some important things to know about your luggage when you’re cruising with Marella, so let’s take a look at everything from allowance to tags and everything in between.

Marella Cruises’ luggage allowance

Your luggage allowance for a Marella cruise depends on the airline you’re flying with.

Many cruises are booked in a package with a TUI Airways flight, where guests are permitted a single hold bag each weighing up to 20kg. Under 2s have a reduced allowance of up to 10kg.

If your flight is booked with a different airline, you’ll need to check the allowance limits that they set. They’ll usually be similar to the TUI guidelines, though.

If you want to pay for extra luggage then you can – there’s no limit to the number of bags you can take onboard the actual cruise ship. With TUI you can upgrade to 25kg or 30kg per adult, but no individual bag should weigh more than 25kg.

It’s also worth noting that adults can share their allowance on a TUI Airways flight, provided no single bag weighs more than 25kg. But if you pack a 25kg bag and your partner packs a 15kg bag, that will be fine.

You’re also allowed a single carry-on bag weighing up to 10kg, provided it’s no bigger than 55x40x20cm.

And you have to be able to fit it in the overhead storage yourself. If you want to bring multiple bags then you can, provided they all fit inside your single carry-on bag.

What happens to your luggage on a Marella Cruise

What happens to your luggage on a Marella cruise depends on whether your cruise is a ‘bonded’ cruise or not.

Bonded cruises couldn’t be easier, and are common for the cruise line’s Caribbean itineraries. For these cruises you simply attach the luggage tags provided to you to your luggage, and then check in as normal at the airport, handing over your bags.

The next time you see them, they’ll be outside your cabin door when your room is ready for you on the ship.

Where the cruise isn’t bonded, the journey will still be pretty straight forward. You’ll check in at the airport, and then when your flight lands you’ll collect your luggage from the baggage area as normal.

You’ll hand it over to the coach driver for your transfer, and then when your coach arrives at the port, the suitcases will be unloaded and picked up by the porters, ready to take onto the ship.

So, there is an extra step involved as you get your bags from the airport yourself, and take them to the coach, but it’s not too much extra hassle at all.

You’re allowed to bring your carry-on bag onto the cruise ship with you, but be aware that your cabin may not be ready as you board, and so you may need to carry it around with you for a couple of hours until it is.

A lot of people like to pack their swimwear in their carry-on bag, so that they can hit the pool as soon as they’re onboard.

One final thing – your cabin will have plenty of storage space for your luggage too, so once you get onboard and get into your cabin, you can unpack and hide the suitcases away, leaving you with a relaxing space to unwind for the duration of your cruise.

Marella Cruises and luggage tags

When you have a cruise booked with Marella, you’ll be sent luggage labels that you need to attach to your suitcase. This is what makes sure that your bags find their way to your cabin on the ship.

You’ll receive the labels 14 days before you’re due to travel. You’ll need to add a couple of personal details (contact details in case your bag wanders off at any point), and then fold and attach the labels to your bags.

A lot of people prefer to buy luggage tag holders. This makes sure that your labels won’t be damaged or torn off by accident, which can happen.

Marella Cruises’ luggage restrictions

There are a selection of items that you aren’t allowed to bring with you on a Marella cruise, or on a flight to reach your cruise embarkation port.

A lot of these are common sense items – things like weapons (including replica weapons), power tools (or indeed any sharp tools), fireworks etc.

And you’ll need to follow the guidelines on liquids in your luggage too, making sure to only carry small liquids and to put them inside a plastic bag.

If you have a specific query on an item then you can check with Marella Cruises and they’ll let you know whether it’s permitted or not.

Luggage tags for carry-on bags

Carry-on bags don’t need luggage tags for a Marella cruise. You just need to make sure you keep the bag with you at all times.

When you reach the cruise ship, you’ll keep the bag with you – hence the name ‘carry-on’. You’ll go through security, similar to that at the airport, to make sure you aren’t carrying anything you shouldn’t be. And then, the bag will be yours to take with you onto the ship.

Remember that you might not be able to drop it off in your cabin right away, so try to pack light if you can, and remember to keep any essential medications or other items you need immediately onboard in that bag, since it could be a couple of hours until you get your checked bags.

Cruising with Marella really is easy, and you’ll have no trouble getting your luggage to the ship. Before you know it, you’ll be unpacked and sat sipping a cocktail by the pool, as you sail to your next exciting port.
