There are quite a few dining options on the Marella Explorer 2. The dining options below are shown as those that are included with the all-inclusive fare. The speciality dining options follow. To make a reservation for speciality dining, book through the ship app or at one of the kiosks as soon as you can once you embark, so as not to be dissapointed. We plan to eat at each and every one of these restaurants during our cruise and we will provide a. more in-depth review of each in March 2021.
