Hi to you too 🙂🙂🙂

Hello MIL 🙂

Love Discovery 2, hope you had as good a time as we did. 🙂

Thanks for watching and your lovely comments. Discovery 2 is a lovely ship, hope you have as good a time as we did. Come back and let us know. 🚢🚢🚢🍹🍹🍹🌞🌞🌞

😂😂😂

So happy you enjoyed it, i love the shows and the show cast, they are always so happy to chat and have fun around the ship and i Love also going to the shows. I loved them all. 💃💃💃🙂🙂🙂

Thanks for listening 🙂

Thanks for watching and so happy it was helpful. 🙂🙂🙂

Hi Carol, thanks so much for taking the time to comment. Its always so helpful to us when people who have experienced the room give us their feedback, its so helpful to others who can now relate this video to your experience. So glad Explorer have got it so right and yet disappointing it is not standard across their fleet. Hopefully as refurbishments happen they will take notice and bring the adapted cabins up to scratch on all the ships. 🙂

Hi Graham, thanks for your comment. Not having to hold onto them like a hand fan was a massive selling point for me. I was a bit sceptical at first but having experienced them i would not now go to a hot climate without one. Hope your parents enjoy Voyager, i love that ship. 🙂

@midatravel I'm going too. I'll report back once we've been.

@@DevonDumpling70 Cheers for that, it's a great cruise, look forward to hearing how you get on. 🙂

Wow, such lovely things to say. All i'm waiting for is a phone call! 😂😂😂. Seriously, it means a lot to us, we have only done 2 live streams and it shows us we are heading in the right direction. Thanks for watching and for taking the time to leave this comment. 😀

Not surprised about the water, i think they are trying to reduce their plastic waste. The premium wines were in all honesty no better than the ones available on the AI so don't think it will be a big loss. Always surprised me how limited Marella's wine choice is. 🤔

It don’t used to be. Back in the Dream and Celebration days there was always a good choice. After about water we always ended up with about 4 full bottles by the end of the week

Some of the main bars can get busy at times, mainly pool bar, squid and anchor and lounge/art house. It has though never been an issue to us and we have never had to wait longer than 5mins to get a drink, waiters are walking about but that can be hit or miss. Depending on which ship you are going on we like the bar at the aft, Summer house on voyager for example, always much quieter. So i don't think you will find it too much of an issue. Often if you go up one flight of steps from the pool deck there is a much quieter bar to get drinks for around the pool. Hope this helps. 🍹🍹🍹😎😎😎

Thanks for watching Graham and for your lovely comments. Have not been on Discovery but i know Discovery 2 is the same. I loved the atrium too, also the main dining rooms were so bright and lovely. So i like the layout and impact of some areas better than Explorer/Voyager. We try and help pass on what we learn so get much satisfaction when people let us know our vlogs have helped. Happy cruising, sure you will have an amazing holiday. 🚢🚢🚢🍹🍹🍹😎😎😎🌞🌞🌞

Wow, what a great honeymoon, Voyager is my favourite Marella ship, many congratulations to you both, i'm sure you are going to have such a fabulous memorable holiday. Thanks for watching and for your lovely comment. Hope you have many happy cruising years ahead of you. 🚢🚢🚢🌞🌞🌞💃💃💃😎😎😎🍹🍹🍹🍾

I've watched a few of the Susan Calman cruising episodes but i just cannot warm to her like i do with Jane Mcdonald. Have not seen her on Explorer 2 but would be interesting to see not only for her being on Lockrum but also being on a Marella ship. Problem with old chip fat is that it does not smell as nice and i would always feel i was destined for the chip pan! Your cruise sounds lovely, we love Malta and Croatia. I was concerned about trying an inside cabin but i had no real problems so wouldn't hesitate to have one again. Have you done or are you doing Kotor, in Montenegro can't wait to do video on that one it was amazing. 🙂

@@midatravel Think Kotor was included in a 2 week cruise, just doing a week.Too much work commitments and takes a lot of organising animals wise

Hi Mazza. Would be a boring world if we all loved the same thing, its always good to hear opposing views for that reason. Guess it just didn't suit us. Don't think we ever saw 4 available stools together. 😒

Good job it was only our faces you recognised 😱😂😂😂

@@midatravel 😂😂😂

Great that you will soon be going, so nice to have something to look forward to. Thanks for watching and for your lovely comments. Dubrovnik is an amazing place to visit but could be done in half a day so Lockrum is a good addition as its so easy to get to and lots to see. Have a great time. 🙂🙂🙂

Cheers Harold and thanks for watching. Hope your well. 🙂

Thanks for watching and your lovely comments. Croatia is a beautiful country, not seen a lot of Greece yet but sounds a perfect cruise. You will have a great time. Marella is all about fun, the ships aren't to crowded and Explorer is a lovely ship. .Come back and let us know how you got on. 🚢🚢🚢🍹🍹🍹😃😃😃

Yes this was on the Explorer. For us it was the first show on our cruise. I love Elton John and for that reason i was so looking forward to this. I was perhaps a bit disappointed, after all how could they not sing 'Philadelphia Freedom'? 🤔

@midatravel The best Elton song in my opinion 👍❤️

@@ChrisGreen-qh1wp Definitely agree with you but there are many more that come close!

😂😂😂 Thats funny, cheers Susan, we love Marella and i am sure we will sail with them again but for the sake of our channel growth we really need to try other companies. Will see what the best deal is at the time. Dave starts a new job soon and is training for 6months so i don't think it will be for a while. 🙁

Now thats a lot of money but sometimes its nice to do something special and to mark that special occasion, but the question is, was the end result what you expected with regards to them being amazing and worth every penny? 📷🙂

@@midatravel Absolutley, We did haggle a little and to be fair, we won at he bingo which helped towards the cost. Happy with the end result.

It all depends on whether you chose to upgrade or not. All Inclusive is what you get as part of your included price. If you want a wider choice of drinks and better brands then you can upgrade either before the cruise (which is £10 cheaper) or you can upgrade on the ship. Hope this helps. 🍹🍹🍹🙂

He meant how does the bartenders know? ​@midatravel

@@DarthxLuna Thanks for putting me on the right path. I’ll re answer for them.

@@user-wr6fp2ik3q You will have to present your cruise card when ordering so they know what package you are on.

Hi Dave. Here is the link, unfortunately i think you will have to copy and paste. Any problems get back to me. www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0B973JZ3X/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

@@midatravel hiya, brilliant 👍🏼 thank you for taking the time to share the link. Much appreciated. BW. Dave

Thanks so much Graham. Struggling with Day 2, just can't get it how i want it but will persevere and hope to get it out on Sunday. Thanks for watching. 🙂

Thanks for letting us know this, i'm glad it would appear normal then for all ships leaving from Barbados, makes the travelling so less stressful. Wish they would do this everywhere. Done Christmas day on Voyager but would love to do new year, imagine it would be a great way to see the new year in, great party! We played it safe booking with Marella for the river tubing but i imagine you had just as good experience and i dare say a lot cheaper. Good recommendation regarding Wacky Rollers. We will try a bigger ship but i must admit that i like the smaller ship better but i just hope i will be pleasantly surprised. I think the AI drink package iis such a big plus with Marella, its totally fine for us. Happy Cruising. 🙂🙂🙂🙂

Did a week's fly Cruise (first time cruise)...October 23 Canaries with P and O...Didn't get the Cruise Bug ..So we are trying Marella ..Looks like it will suit us more... personally I wouldn't recommend P and O...Seemed to have dumbed down on Entertainment and Amount of Ports per cruise but kept prices up

To be quite honest i can't really imagine cruising with anyone else bar Marella but feel for the sake of the channel we need to spread our wings. I have heard many negatives about P&O so will certainly be researching before booking. Marella have been great for us, faults yes but every cruise has been so much fun. Hope it suits you too. 🙂

Wow, don't think you will regret it. So many great islands on those cruises. Come back and let us know how you get on. 🙂

Hi Martin, i have added details for the phone case in the description. Think you may have to copy and paste, not sure why you can't just click on it. The case is on offer still at the moment for £18.98. 🙂

Thanks got it..I Watch KZbin on TV app so don't see links or descriptions

Wowwwww from me too.

I thought i had logged out and also put it on airplane mode but it still ate up my allowance. Marella need to sort their internet out. 🤔

It was booked with Marella so was surprised it was so bad. I think we were probably just unlucky that we had the one bad truck. I would hope from reviews they have changed this up or dropped it. 🙂

We got an ok deal for this cruise but i feel like i can do better. I'm waiting to try and bag a last minute cruise but even they don't seem to be offering much of a saving at the moment. Dave starts his new job soon and will be training for 6months so not going to be easy to travel for a while. Love Turkey, our first holiday together and we went for a week every year until 2015. We haven't been since but we are itching to return. I just worry it will have changed so much. Adults only definitely suits us, always look for that option although if we go with friends we tend to get air/bnb. Hopefully Part 2 of this cruise out on Sunday. 🙂

@@midatravel I know the feeling re marella cruise prices. At the moment the one in Nov (you and I were at the same time because I’m in some of your videos remember) is 600 more each than last year?!

😂😂😂 Dave's such a bad influence!!!! Thanks for your support Trace, love you too xxx

Hi Harold, this was on Marella Explorer and was approx 10th July 2024. Great show. 🙂

@@midatravel wow thanks, I thought they looked different to voyager last year!!

Thanks for the info. We hope to do all of the Marella ships eventually. Didn't realise that Explorer 2 was different to Explorer apart from it being adult only. The Beach cover restaurants sounds just our cup of tea! Dave loves a burger and i love ribs! 😋

@@midatravel it will certainly be your cup of tea then. Great choices in there too. Xx

Cheers Mazza, make sure you say hello. Got lots of training but hopefully will be on those lines after Christmas when training complete. 🙂

@@midatravelcertainly will say hello xx

No problems at all, we love the fact it records and goes straight on our site after broadcast so you can always catch up. We hopefully look forward to seeing you on our next one this Wednesday. 🙂

@@midatravel yes I should be fine for Wednesday

@@Mazza240 Great news, hope we don't let you down 🙂

Hi Barry, hope you had as good a time as we did. We definitely favour the AI drinks package. So much included but we still have the odd treat like a coffee if we want one. We found creating our own cocktails much better. 🍹🍹🍹🙂

Hi Daisy, yes once you have paid the £15.95p you can have what you like off the menu. Occasionally you have to pay an extra charge on some menu items but i don't think there are any of these on the Sushi Menu. We were really impressed and very full after dining here. Definitely not to be missed. 🙂

I love that pineapple shirt and i thought everyone else did too! I thought i would not like the inside but it really wasn't as bad as i thought it might be. I think we had a/c problems in the outside room so i think its just a poor system. Getting locked in a wardrobe would be pretty traumatic as a child, at least the inside room has lots of mirrors so gives the impression of being much bigger than it is. We did report a/c on the prevous cruise on Voyager and they did send someone out to look at it, we were informed it had been sorted but we could feel no difference. We put the suitcases in one of the wardrobes which has a large open space at the bottom. There is so much storage space it is quite surprising. So happy the shower curtain is gone, my bum is way too big! 😂😂😂😂

Hi, yes more than happy for you to add us. Thanks

Cheers Donna, We were both happy in the inside, our main moan was the a/c but in fairness this was no different in an outside room we have previously stayed in with Marella, think there a/c is just not that good. Glad its given you reassurance, balcony was nice but to be honest we never really used it and you will find that you won't spend that much time in your cabin. You will have a great time. Happy cruising. 🚢🚢🚢🍹🍹🍹😎😎😎

Thanks for your lovely comment, we love Marella and yet again we were blown away with the Explorer and had a fabulous holiday. 🙂🙂🙂
