What a blockbuster Caribbean series! It left me really happy that I will be going on a fly-cruise with Marella Voyager and your extensive coverage helps me to feel very oriented as to where things are located on board. Also, I love how you interact with animals you see in your travels. I do the same thing. Needless to say, your end of cruise reunions with your fur babies just melt my heart .
Great informative video but when I was in Dominica I thought the area around the waterfalls and volcanoes smelt a little sulphuric but maybe it’s just me? The water was very cold though and the current was hard to swim against in the cave. You didn’t miss much not seeing the waterfall at the end. I don’t know if Tui carries out a risk analysis but I thought the cave swim was very dangerous and I wouldn’t recommend it. It was a very beautiful Island having written all that. When I was on the ship the exchange bar was The Peaky Blinders bar, the show was very funny. Glad you enjoyed the cruise.
Hi Jamie, we recently flew back from Bridgetown with TUI/P&O using the Concorde (Barn) departure facilities and it worked really well albeit, it was a bit basic but, was clean and comfortable …..Great vid 👍
Loved the final part, Jamie. Barbados airport has great facilities, but the departure area leaves a lot to be desired. We were there last year around the same time as you and the departure area was chaotic...couldn't hear any announcements. Off to Dominica on Tuesday joining Explorer 2 for 7 nights. Cannot wait. Look forward to seeing your river cruise vlog when we get back.
Fabulous Jamie! I so enjoyed the waterfalls you were swimming in... a really magical memory! Marella Voyager looked pretty good to me... as usual a great detailed video delivered in your usual entertaining way 😊
Great series, Jamie. It's been a while since I've been to the Caribbean, and loved Dominica too. Glad your delay on the return flight wasn't too long. xx
Great series of videos, I was on explorer 2 while you was in with us at St Kitts doing the 18night repo cruise, I personally love marella, the entertainment, the staff, the relaxed vibe, its just brilliant and to me puts P&O to shame despite them being much older ships.
What a great Caribbean vlog Jamie, thank you. We're off on our first in 8 weeks and your tips are noted 🙏🏻 Loved the Dominica trip, unfortunately not stopping there.
What a week - that itinerary looked fab. We had exactly the same experience at Barbados airport main terminal - don't think the Concorde terminal is much more fun either!
They are everywhere in Florida Keys. You see "families" on the side of the road. Had a huge one amble up to the hotel pool, spend a few mins having a drink, and ambled away again. Have lovely photos of this.
Fantastic vlogs Jamie and so informative. We are sailing on the Voyager for 2 weeks on 23 rd January to the Carribbean. Hope you havent drunk all the iced coffees 😂
Happy new year jamie soon Hopefully you have a fantastic holiday.I'm so excited for mine.Can't wait to fly out from on 3th Jan London gatwick to barbedos on cruise and you get me excited 😊 when see lovely video saying thanks.
Happy New Years cruising Jamie, thanks for sharing this trip........on my bucket list now.....a bit hesitant because of long flight but your blog is inspiring me!
Really enjoyed this series, really want to do a Tui cruise especially in the Caribbean, for family of four it just comes out expensive. Interesting you mainly did tours, liked the look of them especially the waterfalls and zip wire looked immense, shame about the footage being lost. Thanks for sharing
Great job Jamie. Informative, entertaining and humorous (as usual). My wife and I will be joining Voyager on the 16th of January for a 2 week anniversary and birthday cruise. Would I look out of place on dress to impress night wearing a whistle and flute? Also do many people wear the Caribbean style shirts on the deck party evening. ❤
Another fantastic video! We are onboard Marella Voyager in the Caribbean in late Jan - we cannot wait! As always found your videos really insightful, useful (and entertaining) How long was your walk in Barbados from the cruise terminal to the beach?
Such a contrast to the P&O/Maleth fiasco. Glad you had such a great time. Dominica looked fabulous, if I were 30 years younger I think I would enjoy the excursion you took. Disappointing breakfast on the way back, does the company not include sugar free option choice in advance when you book the cruise? Looking forward to the river cruise videos.
Yes a massive contrast. No one should be eating 80-90g of sugar for breakfast, not just diabetics. I didn’t opt for it, no, because I’m always happy with just fruit / a hot breakfast.
Flew home twice now with TUI from Barbados, and the airport was chaotic both times. Like you, three flights from the same area. Thunderstorms caused the delay this time and it took 2.25 hours to get to the airport, and then the driver took us to the wrong area 😂. Not a good TUI flight - so hot nearly passed out twice and the staff not that bothered. Werent keen to turn the heat down when hubby asked. Still feel sick when I think of lying on the floor at the back outside the toilet 🤢. Food was not great either.
Looks amazing ....even to somebody who hates being in water and heights. Though the crabs and lizards nearly made up for it ❤ Sorry to be a pedantic git, but I think you mean haggle not barter....was just imagining you washing the dishes in exchange for a beach lounger 😅
Jamie, this is the second RUclips video I tried to watch. I got only audio and no visual. All my other RUclips channels are playing perfectly. I’m not sure if I’m the only person with this problem, because there are no other people writing about it. At first, I thought it was my computer, but every other RUclips video is fine. Obviously I have now missed two of your videos. I am very sad and very frustrated. Please let me know if I’m doing something wrong. 🙏
@@TravelBlogJamie wow you must have a magic touch. Because now your videos are working perfectly. I know you didn’t do anything consciously, but you did do something. Thank you.
Hi Jamie Enjoyed the video of the cruise . One question I would like to ask the day you left the ship you said you freshened up was there a place for that . Thank you
Hi Jamie so happy that you had an amazing time what a great place the caribbean is, the worst part of a holiday is the disembarkation hate that your food looked yummy. I bet that Mafoo and your babies was pleased to see you fantastic video ❤
What is this obsession people have with getting their boarding passes in advance? There's a reason check in desks are called "check in" desks. They issue boarding passes. Every cruise passenger has a suitcase to check in anyway.

I miss them so much every single time I’m away!!
@@TravelBlogJamie I know the feeling. I miss mine already and I'm not leaving home until Tuesday !
Totally awesome videos Jamie, really enjoyed every minute 😁 x
Thank youuuu
Your rats are gorgeous! Thanks for the vlog, loved this series
Glad you like them!
Fabulous set of videos , we are considering the same cruise 2025 , looks fabulous , thanks so much for sharing 😊
Very welcome 🙏

@ I am didn’t smell anything and I’d absolutely do this tour again
Having also done this cruise the waterfall in Dominica was absolutely stunning and a definite to do again when we hopefully return in February .
It’s a must-do in my opinion
Looks amazing and what an upgrade !! Usually do P&O but, will definitely check out Marella next time….GREAT VID !!
Awesome! Thank you!

Great series, Jamie. It's been a while since I've been to the Caribbean, and loved Dominica too. Glad your delay on the return flight wasn't too long. xx
It was 15h45 less a delay than this time last year 😉
Great vlog to end an amazing cruise, now on my bucket list !
Fab news!
Great series of videos, I was on explorer 2 while you was in with us at St Kitts doing the 18night repo cruise, I personally love marella, the entertainment, the staff, the relaxed vibe, its just brilliant and to me puts P&O to shame despite them being much older ships.
I have to agree with you here!
What a great Caribbean vlog Jamie, thank you.
We're off on our first in 8 weeks and your tips are noted 🙏🏻
Loved the Dominica trip, unfortunately not stopping there.
Have fun!
When we were on our first cruise with Fred Olsen they had a craft market on. It was really good. Good vlogs as always thank you.
That’s very cool 👌
A wonderful cruise report
❤️
Great series. I’m sold on Marcella now ❤
That’s tickety boo 🤩
What a week - that itinerary looked fab. We had exactly the same experience at Barbados airport main terminal - don't think the Concorde terminal is much more fun either!
Boarding 3 large planes due to depart at roughly the same times through the same gate seems like a recipe for chaos
Loved your trips out. I am always on lizard and crab watch when on holiday 😂. Spiders - NO 😮.
Loooove lizards
They are everywhere in Florida Keys. You see "families" on the side of the road. Had a huge one amble up to the hotel pool, spend a few mins having a drink, and ambled away again. Have lovely photos of this.
Thank you Jamie for showing us all aspects of the cruise, just brilliant - 19 days to go! ✈️ 🚢
Have fun!
You really did pack everything into that cruise, Jamie ! 🌟👏😀 Lots of "rather lovely" and little " heebie jeebies", always a good sign !!
Thank you! 😃
Really great series, Ive thoroughly enjoyed these videos.
Glad you like them!
Fantastic vlogs Jamie and so informative. We are sailing on the Voyager for 2 weeks on 23 rd January to the Carribbean. Hope you havent drunk all the iced coffees 😂
I don’t think there was any coffee or ice left after I disembarked 😂
Happy new year jamie soon Hopefully you have a fantastic holiday.I'm so excited for mine.Can't wait to fly out from on 3th Jan London gatwick to barbedos on cruise and you get me excited 😊 when see lovely video saying thanks.
Happy new year to you 🥂
Happy New Years cruising Jamie, thanks for sharing this trip........on my bucket list now.....a bit hesitant because of long flight but your blog is inspiring me!
You know, I quite like longer flights; food, drink, rest, films, editing (for me), it feels like a bit of down time for me!
Brilliant
🙏🙏🙏
Really enjoyed this series, really want to do a Tui cruise especially in the Caribbean, for family of four it just comes out expensive.
Interesting you mainly did tours, liked the look of them especially the waterfalls and zip wire looked immense, shame about the footage being lost.

@ not really sure what that means but thanks
@@cruisingwiththe4bs lol 😂
@@cruisingwiththe4bs my autocorrect is awful 😂
@ 🤣 I went to google it 🤣
Great vlog Jamie. Amanda and I Luved the look of Surf and Turf. Last time we were in Barbados the airport was a nightmare and we flewBA business
They need a serious meeting !!!
Great job Jamie. Informative, entertaining and humorous (as usual). My wife and I will be joining Voyager on the 16th of January for a 2 week anniversary and birthday cruise. Would I look out of place on dress to impress night wearing a whistle and flute? Also do many people wear the Caribbean style shirts on the deck party evening. ❤
I don’t think anyone would look out of place on anything on here 😂 Caribbean shirts all week, not just deck party
Completely fabulous 👌
Thanks a lot 😊
Greetings from Barbados 🇧🇧

30:32 slight correction it's Carlisle Bay
👍
Another fantastic video! We are onboard Marella Voyager in the Caribbean in late Jan - we cannot wait! As always found your videos really insightful, useful (and entertaining)
How long was your walk in Barbados from the cruise terminal to the beach?
It was 25 mins to the beach
Such a contrast to the P&O/Maleth fiasco. Glad you had such a great time. Dominica looked fabulous, if I were 30 years younger I think I would enjoy the excursion you took.

Oh that’s not good
QUESTION do you collect your cruise cards? If so can we see them you must have millions ❤
No, I don’t actually
Just noticed that you are advertising that cruise line that shouldn't be mentioned on 31:28 😜
Who says it shouldn’t be mentioned though ?
@@TravelBlogJamie Pandora I think. 🤔
Looks amazing ....even to somebody who hates being in water and heights. Though the crabs and lizards nearly made up for it ❤ Sorry to be a pedantic git, but I think you mean haggle not barter....was just imagining you washing the dishes in exchange for a beach lounger 😅
Yes, that’s pedantic
@TravelBlogJamie I'm sorry....it's an occupational hazard! I meant it VERY light-heartedly - it was a funny image is all 😊

I haven’t heard of anyone else with this problem - very odd and not something I’ve ever experienced 🤔
@@TravelBlogJamie wow you must have a magic touch. Because now your videos are working perfectly. I know you didn’t do anything consciously, but you did do something. Thank you.
@ it’s the power of being at sea 🌊
Hi Jamie Enjoyed the video of the cruise . One question I would like to ask the day you left the ship you said you freshened up was there a place for that . Thank you
I used one of the larger bathrooms on board (I kept some of my toiletries in my hand luggage)
❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
¡Olé!

There’s no obsession. There’s also a reason some desks are called ‘bag drop’ …
