We have said it before and we will say it again, you guys are brilliant at putting together the travel vlogs 😊👌. This was so slick, can't think of one detail you left out. Would be a fantastic guide for anyone planning to go on a Marella cruise 🛳🙌. For us, we just enjoyed seeing you guys enjoying yourselves in the sunshine again 😎🌞😊. Roll on summer hey!! Honestly Rach and Wills, your channel is going places, literally! 😂🙌 Have a great week ahead, Shell and Pete 😊👊👍
God I hope you’re right!!! Thank you so much for your lovely comment. You guys will also be stepping to the next level this year for sure! You dare to walk (and swim!) where the rest of us don’t! Well certainly us two idiots anyway. Cheers and have a brilliant week. 🍻
The Mrs was on a roll with the cruise vlogs tonight, so we watched this one, too. The islands looked stunning, we've never been to Greece, and this looked like an ideal way to sample the different islands.
Cheers again! This was such a great week and as you say the perfect way to sample a few islands. It made us realise that we want to go back and do an island hopping trip ourselves. It was very very hot though!! We won't be doing an island hop in August! Cheers for watching 🍻
Now that's a Beautiful ship!😍 It's great that you get the safety instructions right in the room! I still remember the days that everyone had to gather at spots on the ship to receive them! Lol It's Wild but I guess cool that they look out for those unfortunately arriving late. Lolol...Jimmy is one cool dude!😂 The ship is Amazing!!! That's one of the downfalls that we found in Cruising. The short time to explore these wonderful places. Wow! The cable cars are steep! Lol We Seriously hope to be blessed with a cruise sometime soon! The areas are stunning!!! Completely enjoyed, guys!!! See Ya'll on your next vlog!!! 😁🤙👊
I know!! When I used to work on them, especially in europe, it was out by your lifeboat in 7 languages!! Used to take ages! All the staff were so amazing, we really enjoyed it as a cruise line. We hope you guys can get on a cruise soon. We keep looking at Caribbean. We can find good value cruises, but the flights are the expensive part! Cheers for watching 🍻
"Postcard And A Pint, your comprehensive guide to the Marella Explorer's Iconic Islands Cruise is incredibly helpful!

Your detailed commentary and visuals make it easy for viewers to get a glimpse of what to expect. Keep up the fantastic work in sharing your cruise experiences and insights. Happy sailing! ⚓🛳 #CruiseGuide #MarellaExplorer #TravelExperience"
What an incredible trip here! It looks like your boat was a vacation in its own but these destinations are all so full of culture. A cruise never looked so good to me. Great share!
We loved the ship, it was just the right size we felt. We enjoyed the ports too. I wish we had some sunshine at the moment! It’s freezing here. Cheers for watching 🍻
Hi both this cruise does look so good and the complete guide is good to watch all at once. The weather was really appealing too compared to our weather in North Wales hehe ! Love old churches and the places of history. The whole cruise looked great ~ Anna 👍
It’s been shocking hasn’t it. It’s been a lovely day today, but cold!!! To think I was moaning about 30 degrees! It was fun (and hard work) to try to fit it into one video, but I’m glad we did. Cheers 🍻
Hi Rach and Wills, I'm rewatching this because in just over a month we'll be cruising round the Med with MSC and I'm so excited! I told Kique I know you and he asked if that meant you'd be on our cruise as well: it would have been wonderful to have cocktails again, maybe not quite so many as last time though! Xxx
Ah H that's brilliant. I bet you'll have an amazing time. Yes a repeat cocktail party would be great but definitely less this time!! We're in Southampton at the moment, we've just come off our first P&O cruise. Loved it!!! Cheers 🍻
Hi, guys! Well, I must say that you had a wonderful experience! I've never taken a cruise, although I've often been tempted, but I suffer a bit from the sea... I don't know if you can hear anything while browsing or not. I guess not, though...... Anyway, your experience on this ship was perfect and the tour you chose was simply fantastic. Greece is absolutely beautiful.... I had a lot of fun as always watching your vlog, always so well presented and entertaining. Happy weekend, my friends and all the best! My huge like, as always! Waiting for you in Milan! Renata
We barely felt this ship move for the entire cruise, it was so calm. We love Greece too. We can’t wait to island hop ourselves one day. Cheers for watching as always 🍻
Hi guys a fantastic review. We enjoyed your trip and this was a great overview. Would be a brilliant video for anyone who is thinking of or due to take a cruise. Hope you are both well. Best wishes Dave and Dawn ❤️
Thank you so much. It’s lovely to get it all into one video. We enjoyed making the diaries, but fingers crossed this will help anyone doing this cruise. Cheers for watching 🍻
We hear a lot about cruising the American lines, but its wonderful hearing options out of Europe. Seems like an incredible experience with shows, food, and great ports. We hope to explore more of Greece the next time we are there. Would love to see Mount Olympus and the sites of the first Olympic Games. As far as islands, Mykonos and Rhodes seems to be the next two islands we should visit.
This is a great line. They’re not grabbing your money left right and centre once you’re on board. I’ve seen a video where some Americans did sail. It’s hard to book but not impossible!! Cheers
Thank you for bringing us back to our favorite country and some memorable islands. We watched the series but really enjoyed this highlight video, excellent editing! ~Cara ❤
Thank you. We now there are some very special places for you two that we went to on our trip!! We tried to get in your light house and cafe in Santorini!
Ah bless you. Messi g around on the Med - love it!!! Soon we’ll be cheery on the channel (English) as we’re off again on our travels soon. No doubt we’ll be dining out on that until May!!! Cheers Shane 🍻
My wife and I just watched this in our theatre! We are itching for a vacation right about now!!! The island is so packed full of character just so beautiful, the markets are a place where I could spend a lot of money. We both really enjoyed this very much, thank you!
Hi guys Thanks for sharing 😊 Hope you are both well. We have often thought about doing a cruise and one round the Greek Islands would be perfect. Morgs Jo and Boo 🐕 ❤
Do one!!! Definitely try a cruise. What we’d like to do now is plan our own island hop around the Greek islands staying a couple of days on each! One day!!! Cheers 🍻
Lots of great and useful information. TUI and Marella seem to look after all the details really well. I like that you can have buffet for dinner as we liked that with Royal Caribbean, set times to eat offend us haha. This was an awesome itinerary.
Room 21 in Binary! 10101. A great choice of restaurants. Definitely don’t tire of seeing the sea, I could watch it for hours. The stop offs are incredible and also look incredible from the ship. A good entertainment line up. Nice nod to Shirley Valentine. Great info about the drink packages available, worth the premium id think. So many activities available. A great cruise for sure! 👍
Never thought of that!!! Yep we were both channeling our inner Shirley Valentines for a lot of this cruise! We definitely want to plan our own island hop one day. Cheers for watching 🍻
Brilliant and you took us back to some incredible memories in some of the best ports in the Mediterranean… A great video - Marella should see this and offer you guys a promo role! Where do we book ??? Feeling in need of another holiday just watching this ..
The more we look back at our time on board we appreciate more and more what a brilliant cruise line Marella is. P&O have a lot to live up to!! Since chatting to you we’ve been looking in detail at some more MSC vlogs - ouch!!! 🍻
8:45 Directly to the left and down a few stairs was our villa…it had amazing views of Fira and the water. You are making us miss our time there. 😊~Cara
I love the sea day! I’ve done a few cruises and sea days were always so chill. Hanging out on the deck, relaxing on the chairs, eating and drinking frozen goodies, pool, dinner…excellent I’m so envious! 😊 and I loved our waitstaff! They’re so fun :)
I LOVED CHANIA TOO!! I love seeing places I’ve been through your lense. We were on Crete for a couple days also, I specifically loved a glass bottom boat tour, the restaurants on the water, and the maritime museum!
Oh wow. What a fab cruise. Good having so much time to explore the different stops. I think I would come back a lot fatter with all the food on offer. A great video as always guys. Love watching you two. Have a good week. Cheers 🍻
Thank you so much for watching now that's a million dollar question. Both would be great - if you love Greece then eastern med for sure. We love Greek food, the beaches, the ports as they're mostly near the towns......But..... western med gives you scope for more countries so more diversity in the places you're going, more city stops and again good beaches and western med has Olbia in it - our fav!). You'll have a blast on either. Have a great time 🍻
Just back from one week on the Marella Explorer, and can only describe it as Benidorm at sea with a lot of Butlins style entertainment, football tops seems to be the dress code and I'm no prude, I would imagine the vessel will be getting hacked to pieces in a ship wrecking yard very soon. A lot of areas smelt of open drains, poorest quality buffet ever seen (on land or sea) with maybe 4 evening choices of very poor quality food as was breakfast and lunch....................The places visited were very nice, but as for the ship its a true saying, you cant polish a turd.
Thanks so much for watching. We didn't have that experience at all last year. Maybe you just had a bad cruise experience. We loved the ship and it always felt clean and well kept. Yes she's an old ship now, but we thoroughly enjoyed it and it didn't feel Butlins at all (saying that we're not ones for late nights and prefer a quiet drink on back deck over a party!!). Cheers for watching 🍻
On a freezing day in the UK this looks like paradise.
I can’t believe I was moaning I was too hot!!! It’s freezing now. 🍻
