Marella Discovery 2 is the sister ship to Marella Discovery, which means it shares most of the same top-notch facilities. These include an outdoor cinema, a rock climbing wall and a minigolf course. Not to mention the two pools – one indoor and one outdoor – plus, eight restaurants and a spa. And to top the lot, there are Broadway-style performances are on every night in the show lounge.

Dining

There are eight restaurants to choose from. There’s full waiter service at the main restaurant, which serves up traditional dishes with a modern twist. Plus, there are eateries specialising in a particular cuisine – think succulent steak or pan-Asian fare. There’s plenty of choice in the way of drinking spots, as well, whether you’re looking for a pot of tea or a flute of prosecco.

Entertainment

With so many entertainment options, no night onboard is the same as the last. The Broadway Show Lounge delivers on West End style numbers. Then there’s Squid & Anchor, which plays host to family-friendly game shows and pub quizzes. Movies by Moonlight take over out on deck, while live musicians showcase the acoustics in the Atrium Bar. As the night draws to a close, head to the Live Room for a session on the dancefloor.

Facilities

Chilled-out days onboard are spent getting pampered at the spa or lounging by one of the two pools – both come with built-in whirlpools, too. For something more active, you can aim for a hole-in-one on the minigolf course or reach for the sky on the rock climbing wall.
