Oh dear,looks like we will be returning to our Tui shop and going through all the hassle of choosing another cabin.We particularly wanted a Deluxe cabin and wanted it at the back of the ship.Our TA spent ages on the phone to Marella before we found one available on the date we wanted as there was a flight out of Cardiff on that date(only 3 flights out of Cardiff between January and April 2020).We haven't even done this years cruise yet,on the Transatlantic Homecoming 28th April 2019 and I am getting stressedabout next years!!!

I hope your cabin is fine when you get on board and you have a wonderful cruise experience.

Hi,we think all the deluxe cabins are on the back of the ship.We have recently booked one of these on deck 9 for February 2020 and when we booked there were not many to choose from as we wanted to fly to the Caribbean from Cardiff.We had some lengthy conversations with our Tui travel agent in store as these are classed as Family cabins sleeping 4 and we were concerned about choosing and paying for this cabin and then nearer to the cruise hearing from Marella that we would have to move if a family of 4 wanted this type of cabin.We know this has happened on other Marella cruise with people being notified 3 days before they are due to board their ship.We are just hoping it won't happen to us,though Marella can't guarantee that this won't happen.

We are booked on the Explorer on 28/04/2019 for the Transatlantic Homecoming.There are plenty of photographs of the Main Dining Room called latitude 53 and there are tables for 2 shown.There are also sample menus shown on FB forum, I if you search Marella Explorer.Hope this helps
