It was lovely hearing about your experiences of your first cruise. We've done 26 now, all on Marella!! The Discovery 2 is our favourite ship in the fleet.
Yes you can feel the motion. On the first night last friday, we were in the bar when ship set sail and everyone was unstable, It was a rough week and you do feel the motion, but its not unbearable. you get used to it and your body compensates. we noticed how much it compensated when we went on land, as we looked peeesed walking along the portside
Very good and fair review, just returned from an Adriatic/Mediterranean cruise on this vessel, where it was the flattest we’ve ever experienced, felt like we were in a hotel for the week.
It's 14/03 2024.. Just saw your video now. We're going on exactly the same cruise tomorrow ( 15 03/24 ) . This is the first video we've seen covering Agadir , we've booked the Taroudant trip . Can't wait 😊😊.
@@cledwynontour5848 it was because unlike the others I've seen your cruise applied to us . We live in South Wales and we're flying from Bristol at 11:05 tomorrow morning 👍.
great video, just a couple of points, cruise the med in summer or a bigger more modern ship and you won't feel a thing unless the sea is really rough. The advice for mobile data is at sea turn it off at all times as the maritime rate makes cruise ship wifi rates seem a bargain. Sometimes you are lucky and you keep a signal for a while but once it drops the last thing you want is connecting to the maritime network.
So honest question mate me and the wife are looking at doing the explorer next may.....in your honest opinion cam you feel the ship movements as it goes through the water? I hate water as it is lol
The nice thing about Canarian Flavors cruise is that you sail overnight (apart from one day). The first night we didn't even notice that we had set sail. Nights 2 and 3 were "very choppy". I slept through on both nights (but did feel the movement). My wife suffers with vertigo also so that added to the effect. After that it was fine. Our cruise was in February so still in "Winter", I'm guessing May should be calmer as it's summer? Hope that helps :)
@cledwynontour5848 our literary shows one full day at sea. Was the movements bad? As in side to side up and down? We are looking at may next year for corfu Slovenia montenegro and Croatia. Just a little worried I'll freak at a bad sailing night
@@twistedwelshtv3800We did that cruise last year on Explorer 2 in July. I am very travel sick and I only felt ship movements a couple of times in the theatre at night. I wore my travel bands one night but didn’t need to take a single tablet the whole week. We were in an inside cabin midship on deck 9
Thanks so much, we’re off in 4 weeks on that cruise, so good to get all the heads up you’ve given
Thank You ... Enjoy your Cruise :)

You’re welcome. I always try to give a fair review :)
We loved this. What a nice itinerary and a great overview of the ship. Mediterranean Bar was our favourite too. Great video. 🍻
Thank you :)
