Hi Abovethesod
No and no
You can pay for your clothes to be laundered and pressed by the laundry team on board.Details will be in your cabin or in cruise news how you go about it
How much it costs I dont know as we have never used that facility on any of our cruises

Strange on the turn down as cabin crew would need to make up a pull down sofa bed every night if you have a child staying
We are going with the family with 3 in a balcony cabin with a pull down sofa bed for the kid.We discussed the workings off this on our previous cruise with our cabin steward who said they,d be in every evening to lay out mattress and makeup the bed
Mrs JTS loves the cruise news so will just head to reception for a hard copy.Shes also partial to the choccy treats but doesn,t bother me in the least so no big loss

Same on Explorer 2…..3 weeks ago so guessing this no CN in the cabin is more recent

Hi Sheera
Not long back from explorer 2 and the equivalent of the mediterranean bar on explorer 2 is called the terrace,similar idea without the Med tapas and Med italian

We dont go till July but our schedule of speciality dining/ excursions are open for first three days.Gib rock tour excursion is sold out already however not an issue for us as we do the local rock tour
Our intention is to go for a special meal as a family,4 ad and 1 child but doesnt accept bookings for more than 4 and to enquire once on the ship🤔,not much good if by that time its fully booked especially as we are limited to dine before 7-30 due to the child.To counteract that we will need to book two tables,a table for three and table for two and hope the can push them together
-
Certainly sounds like they,re still having issues bob.I,d give them a quick bell just in case
We,re off in a few days and on our cruise control,cant download luggage tags,boarding passes but when I checked a few days ago able to book excursions,not sure about dining
If they are having software problems which having been going on for weeks cant be difficult for them to inform their customers via their websiteForget that,obviously it is too difficult for them 😆
Theres one thing,very little of TUI/Marella profits goes towards their website/IT department

Bob
For 3rd of May cruise think your a bit too far out for booking dining/excursions.

Will do B,thanks
Its a short trip but nice to get away

I did message marella and they are saying its a software issue. Probably same issue that makes the specialty dining not bookable at the moment. They did send me a blank one so if not fixed I'll be doing it myself. The queue at airport will be a pain if very few have passes.
Thanks DYeah I gave them a call yesterday and got the same response as you.They emailed me the blank ones you posted.
Forgot to ask whilst on the phone but guessing we will have the same issue with the boarding passes?they,re not available to download yet
Ps software issue?No software issue if you want to book excursions😉

Hi Jim, it's 2 weeks before the cruise..
Thanks Andy1 hour ago, Dinglebert said:There appears to be an issue with the tickets. Try to download but its just cycling around.
Yeah tried periodically over the last week or so and its been like D.Hope they are available soon as not wanting any faffing about at the airport or port on arrival -
You,d think I would know considering how many cruises I have done but can someone enlighten me how long before your cruise Luggage Tags become available to download
Link is highlighted/available in my cruise control
Offers me the download but when I click that link I only get a quick origami course on how to fold them
🤔

🤣
Spot on B
Happy with that and free 😉

Your correct dronnygirl cabin 8025 is indeed near the front,however on checking it appears I have my 0 and 2 mixed up and we are in cabin 8205 🤣
-
Hi D,
I,ll check again but thought it was the stern
-
Cheers B
Also been on Explorer and enjoyed it like all other Marella ships.On Explorer 2 this time,the one ship we haven,t been on
-
Thanks P
Had to google Calypso so that tells you that No it doesn,t include her

Not sure B
8025 which looking at the deck plan is about 7 from the stern I think…Short cruise so it wont really matter plus spend little time in cabin
-
👍
Just checked our cruise control and have our allocated cabin with 2 weeks to go
-
Concur S1971
We,re off on Explorer in a few weeks for the first time,and that,ll give us the full set
