I cruised on a 30 YEAR OLD ship...Here's the truth!
The TRUTH about a 30 YEAR OLD ship - Marella Discovery 2 review. Is a 30 year old ship too old to enjoy in 2026? That was the question on my mind when I booked my holiday on the Marella Discovery 2, the sister ship to the Marella Discovery. Launched way back in 1995, she's a veteran of the seas - but does she feel like a classic, or just dated? In this video, I take you on a tour of the ship, from the cabins and the 47 degrees dining room, to the hidden corners of the ship. I'll be honest about where she shows her age, and where she absolutely puts modern mega-ships to shame! If you're worried about booking an older ship, or if you're just curious about what life is like onboard one of Marella's most loved vessels, this video's for you! In this video I cover: First impressions: Does she look her age? The cabin: Is it cramped or comfortable? Food & Drink: Testing out the All Inclusive life at the Squid & Anchor and beyond. The Verdict: Would I sail on her again? About Marella Discovery 2: Built in 1995 (formerly Royal Caribbean's Legend of the Seas), she carries around 1,800 passengers, and offers a more intimate, classic cruising experience, compared to the giants of today.
