Another video that provides wide range of info that’s straight to the point but also with charming humour as my wife says. Keep them coming . Keep well and hello to Mafoo.
Lovely and informative. We will have done all the marella ships after December when we're on voyager. Love love love cruising and love marella. I can't fault what we've had. Thankyou 🥰
Great your Jamie you well and truly got your steps in that day!! I like the look of Marella in general after watching other videos of yours, must get booking!! 😊
Great tour gives good feel for what the ship is like.Went on Discovery 2 in July, brilliant ship and crew, prefer the decor and layout especially the atrium and benefit of indoor adult only pool!
We were on that cruise at the same time as you we were 1st time cruises as well, we had a great holiday lovely ship and exceptional staff would deffo go back on that ship
I'm new to the Marella line and did Discovery a couple of weeks back. Looking at this vlog and others, this ship is clearly up to date so to speak. Discovery looks tired and needs some serious TLC.... loving the uploads. ❤
Having just returned from 2 weeks on Discovery we😮 love the ship and Discovery 2. We had a newly refurbished cabin everything was great lovely units and plenty of them including the bathroom. The cabin doors were the only thing that showed the age of the ship. The crew were lovely and I got on famously with the Entertainment Team would have no hesitation in going with Marella again.
We love Marella cruises, the medium sized ships are perfect for us with the laid-back atmosphere, not too noisy, plenty of space, all inclusive fair including alcoholic drinks and of course value for money. Our next Marella cruise will be a two week affair in the Adriatic next June and we are really looking forward to that. Great video showcasing their new addition to the fleet which has made us keen to try it out soon. I think you suggested in a previous video that booking a speciality restaurant on the first sea day out of Dubrovnik would be a good idea, I’m I remembering correctly?
Being an ex Royal ship, thought it might have been more disabled friendly - IE, I saw some self opening doors to the exterior areas? Appeared to have stepped areas to bars etc, on a positive, ship is a massive upgrade on my only Thompson cruise, The Topaz, thanks for the walk through👍
Great video again Jamie! Will be boarding Marella Voyager in a couple of weeks in Barbados however just wondering if you’ve experienced any mosquitoes on the islands or ship. Would like to know if it’s worth taking mosquito repellent?
Hey Jamie great video as always! You mentioned a DJ providing entertainment in The Electric Rooms is there a live band here providing nightly entertainment too as there is on the Explorer 2? We are going on the Voyager in a few weeks time and hoping there will be 🙆🏽♀️
@@TravelBlogJamie thanks so much for your response. We did an Adriatic cruise on Marella Explorer 2 in June 2023 and they had a resident Filipino band who played late night live music every night in the venue next to the casino, also called the Electric Rooms, I think. They were amazing! And very interactive with the crowd. We were rather hoping they’d have the same on the Voyager which we are travelling on to the Caribbean in March. Have to say I just love on your highly informative, very entertaining and fun, fun, fun videos. Ignore the haters Jamie, you are brilliant and always look good! You have a great format and of course, Mafoo!!
Really appreciate that very detailed video. I'll be sailing on this ship in a few months with family, and I wanted to know the lay of the "land" before I go! Also 300% agree about the coffee port, it's the main reason I take the premium drinks package :D
Relax whilst I do all the walking! It’s ship tour time! ❤

Really well done and very useful. Thank you Jamie😘
Very welcome

I prefer Discovery to Voyager
Joining this ship on Sunday in Barbados... This has been really useful - cheers!!!!!
Enjoy your cruise!
Great trip around the ship. I'm glad you kept it a bit longer :)
It’s the one this Saturday that’s vvvvv long
We are off on our first ever cruise and will be on the voyager for a week in July around the Med. Great video, very informative. Thank you
Very welcome! Enjoy!

Excellent Video, thanks. We are on Voyager in February for a couple of weeks in the Caribbean. Looking forward to the rest of the Voyager Series.

We have been on Discovery September and after watching this video of Voyager we wont be going on her because in our view its not a patch on Discovery.
@@gramfur8201 Discovery and Explorer are our preferences
Thanks for this Jamie.
Welcome!
Brilliant job Jamie. I look fwd to getting onboard even more now.
Have a great time!!
@@TravelBlogJamie 11 months yet 😫
Playing catch up on vlogs after being in London with Daniel for our anniversary. Loved the vlog Jamie. Certainly does look like an alright ship.
How was your anniversary weekend?
@TravelBlogJamie the anniversary went brilliantly
@@Alanw80 pleased to hear it!

Ooh I totally stand by speciality dining in the first night, for sure!
Is there a kettle in the room
Saw the video title and thought you were touring the cabin decks/corridors and couldn't work it out for a moment. I definitely need a holiday...
Oh no, that’s definitely not it!
Great informative video 😊
🙏🙏🙏
Hi Jamie luved the vlog. It’s Amanda’s birthday next week.We are staying at Hever Castle in Kent. Anne Boleyn’s childhood home
Happy birthday to Amanda
Think I could live on Deck 11! The ship feels at lot like the Explorer, which is great for me.
It’s similar in places. Lots of differences though!
Being an ex Royal ship, thought it might have been more disabled friendly - IE, I saw some self opening doors to the exterior areas? Appeared to have stepped areas to bars etc, on a positive, ship is a massive upgrade on my only Thompson cruise, The Topaz, thanks for the walk through👍
Thank you 🙏 By the way it’s not an ex-Royal ship David - it was Celebrity and then Tui.
Great video again Jamie! Will be boarding Marella Voyager in a couple of weeks in Barbados however just wondering if you’ve experienced any mosquitoes on the islands or ship. Would like to know if it’s worth taking mosquito repellent?
St Lucia was where I encountered mosquitoes
Hey Jamie great video as always! You mentioned a DJ providing entertainment in The Electric Rooms is there a live band here providing nightly entertainment too as there is on the Explorer 2? We are going on the Voyager in a few weeks time and hoping there will be 🙆🏽♀️
I don’t remember a Band being there as it’s much more late night club material but maybe they’ve added one?
@@TravelBlogJamie thanks so much for your response.

@@user-iq8on4lg4r oh the haters don’t mean anything to me 😆 I like dragging them back though 😉
@@TravelBlogJamie good to know 😂 and you do a good job dragging them back! Keep blogging 🤩
Great vlog Jamie. Fellow 'term time only' worker here. Was this October half term or summer hols?.... Great to see so many empty sunbeds.... 😊
The October half term just gone
@@TravelBlogJamie thank you x
Would love to sell Marella to my Customers, however they don't support us independant agents.... :(
That’s really sad to hear
Hey Jamie, what did you think on board? We went on one of the first sailings and we were a bit disappointed compared to the other ships.
Hi Jake - will cover everything in detail on my next vlogs but it was a mixed bag for us
🎉🎉🎉
🥰🥰🥰
Looks like a nice ship, I have never really considered Marella!
I would like to see a little of the cabanas... What do you get for the money???
I cover this in the next vlog but you just get the actual space - nothing else
when you pay for the whole day in the spa can you go in and out, or do you have to do one stint?
In and out and shake it all about
what a great ship was there an indoor warmer pool jamie ?
No indoor pools on this one
@@TravelBlogJamie thanks pal probrably not for me then...great vlogs mate
Hey, whats the wifi situation like? Is it free wifi and if so how fast is it? Thanks, wondering if I should go on this or not...
Never used it as it’s pricey - it’s one of my least fav packages on any cruise line - it’s an allowance of megabytes rather than time / duration
Although passengers said it worked well
👋
👀
Is there a book room
If it’s not on the tour then there isn’t
Looks like the Explorer.
Similar in many ways (ie old celebrity ship like Explorer)
This ship is sailing on European countries ?
Yes, like in the video
Really appreciate that very detailed video. I'll be sailing on this ship in a few months with family, and I wanted to know the lay of the "land" before I go! Also 300% agree about the coffee port, it's the main reason I take the premium drinks package :D
Love the coffee port ❤️❤️❤️
