If that was the only problem I'd go back tomorrow😎

Brilliant cruise on Explorer but we will never use Corfu airport ever again. It's queue after queue after queue. The airport just cannot cope with the volume of people. We've decided any itinerary with Corfu as home port is off the list in future. If they treble the facilities in the future we may return. Not Marella's fault but something needs to change.

Hi all, Does any remember seeing a cocktail called 'Illusion' at any of the bars on Explorer? We've been on board this year and didn't notice it anywhere. After watching a video on YouTube just now taken on Discovery 2 it appears in a clip showing a bar menu and it looks really nice. Not the end of the world if it's not available but would be great if anyone can confirm it's somewhere on Explorer. Thanks in advance 🍹

Some really informative videos on YouTube by 2 guys Jonny and Will just now from their recent sail on Voyager. Learnt so much from them and it all looks great. Definitely worth a watch to wet your appetite if you're on Voyager in the future.

Sorry, I meant to ask if Lisa was one of the hosts in the Squid and Anchor?

Thanks Fife1, We were on Explorer earlier in May and concur with all your comments. Going on Explorer again later in the year, can't wait.

Writing this as we sit in the lounge waiting to disembark. Everything was great. So many friendly staff, no waiting for anything, food all first class. Entertainment was really good, great team on board especially our favourites Lisa and Phil. Seems like Marella have stepped up from last year. No problems with dyed blonds or any 'other' issues mentioned in other threads Highly recommend this ship to anyone.

Dubrovnik old town is a must. We did an organised tour before and you learn much more about the place with a guide.Going back to Dubrovnik on the cruise you are doing on Friday but own our own this time for a wander around. Venice is nearly as much time on the coach there and back as it is in the city but might be worth it if you haven't been before. And get up early to go up on deck to see the sail into Kotor Bay. Stunning. Just my own recommendations obviously, one cruise isn't enough to see it all.

You can always upgrade once on board if you decide to, I think the price of the upgrade reduces as your cruise continues and may at some point be better value per day than pre booked price. Whatever you decide you won't go thirsty!

Brummijam I think your reaction is exactly why the term 'working class' should not have been used to describe the fellow passengers referred to in the post you quoted. It's obviously got your gander up. I wasn't offended but some could be as you've shown here. I assume the person posting considered themselves above 'working class' and that's why they used the term in the context in which they did in their post. I'm back at work on Monday by the way, 40 years in the same job👍

The post #5 you quoted also included the term `working class` which some might, rightly, take as a derogatory term. (Why else would anybody say it ?) I bet they wouldn`t say it face to face to a fellow passenger. Anyway, happy cruising everyone and let`s all get along nicely 🙂 wherever you`re from and whatever `class` you belong to......life`s too short.

So not Northern English then😂

Hello Sally, Assuming that you are not Scottish yourself, why did you feel it necessary to include the nationality of the people you criticised......just wondering. I'm from Scotland so British myself and have seen questionable behaviours on some cruises in recent years from passengers from all of the four nations that make up our United Kingdom. None of us are that different really.

Has anyone done this excursion and how would you rate it. Seems a bit pricey at £75 pp. Thanks.

Yeah Brummijam, Corfu Airport in and out. Thanks for the info.
