Marella Cruises | Is It Even Worth Getting Off The Ship Here? Thinking about booking a Marella cruise to Corsica but worried about a short itinerary? In this comprehensive Marella Explorer 2 review, we take you along for our day in port where we faced a major cruise dilemma: With only 5 hours in port, should you stay on the cruise ship or get off and explore?
