    "If you cough, you are off, lady" and "If it doesn't hurt in the morning..." were both real laugh out loud moments, thank you.
    I really appreciate your energy throughout this video. As a seasoned Caribbean cruiser, I understand the energy required to keep delivering day and night like this.

Got really emosh when you mentioned you couldn’t get your photos from your incredible zip wire experience & I know how it must have felt because you wanted to treasure those memories in the pictures you were promised! You were so brave & I don’t know if would’ve had the courage to do it, thank u for bringing this awesome content hun! 🫶👌👍🚢🌅

    I was on this ship in Jan 2024 for 14 nights cruising the Caribbean. Absolutely loved the experience. I remember what a painkiller was, think it was in Tortola. Your video brought lots of good memories back. I’ve never had a bad Marella cruise, hope you feel the same? Great video.

    Loved part 1&2, eagerly awaiting part 3 as we take the same flight and go on the same cruise on Thursday! As we are not regular cruisers finding this was invaluable, especially as we’ve had very little time to plan as we only booked it last weekend (it was a steal). We appreciate your honest and open opinions and the respect you give everyone you meet.

    Wowza - another blissful Caribbean adventure. Your boyish enthusiasm and joy is great to behold. BTW, because of your inside single cabin tour on the Voyager, I decided to upgrade to a single outside. As funny as I think it is, the pole did it in for me (I kept imagining crashing into it in the middle of the night). Very happy I did so, as it's an Adriatic cruise and the scenery must be awesome. It's actually a a couple of doors down from your original cabin, as I wanted to be close to reception just - like - you ( were) .

    Another informative and entertaining vlog. It seems Marella has long port days which are a +. I wish other lines where so quick to acknowledge when things are not as advertised, especially with excursions. It seemed like madness with the amount of people at the stingray excursion. I am not a fan of so many people with a nature interaction like the stingrays and I presume that is one of the many tours a day. Looking forward to the next vlog.

    We did the trip to the zipwire place but didn't do the zipwire itself. We could have done the doughtnut ring slide as part of the cost but looking at the state of the "slide" it didnt look very well kept or safe. As you love lizards, did you see the size of them at the bottom area near where you wait for the coach back? Some were huge and got some great photos of them.

    I enjoyed this video. Your zipline tour looked fantastic. Curious how you moved between the various platforms as it looked like each one was further up the mountain. Did they use the chairlifts for that? I zipped in St Lucia with Rainforest Adventures and we zipped "down" from one platform to the next; then had a massive hike back up the mountain to the gondola. The hike UP to the gondola was exhausting, in treacherous terrain, in the rain. Zipping in the rain was great though. Kept us cooled off. I'm glad to hear you got some credit back for the part of the tour you didn't get. I used a go pro with a wristband to capture the zipping.

      @TravelBlogJamie  22 дня назад

      Alas, no go pros / wrists bands etc allowed on these!

    • @TravelBlogJamie

      The first 4 were contained in the same area with some steps to navigate as they got higher. The main event was accessed by the second chairlift

    Fun! Marella ooks like a charming little floating Eruopean resort. That pool looks big and half-way deep enough for actual swimming strokes! Honestly, I think I'lss stick with HAL; but, I am enjoying watching you enjoy Marella! The food and beverage options look delightful. The whole Marella thing just looks like a tacky European thing in a delightful sort of way, trickly shower head and all!

    Jamie, I'm very suspicious concerning that zip wire in St Maarten. How very convenient that no photographs or videos of you were taken and therefore no proof that you actually did it . Did you get the idea of how to get out of doing it from Karl Pilkington when he faked doing a bungee jump in South Africa in An Idiot Abroad? Seriously though I bet it was a fabulous experience. Looking forward to blog number 3 and your summing up of your cruise on Voyager. 😛
