1 Week Cruising the Caribbean onboard Marella Voyager (Part 2: St Maarten, St Kitts & Antigua)

[@300ShadesofGreen]

"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.

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Glad you enjoyed! I forgot I said those things 😂

[@alywax_fan1555]

What a fab part 2. U were extra naughty on this vlog … very funny spat me rice out at one point😂😂. Looks so relaxing and peaceful. Cant beat a Caribbean ocean♥️

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Oh I was extra naughty?!! What on earth did I say?!

[@ancastadler9561]

I've been watching this with nostalgia. I miss that party ship. Loved it for 2 weeks in March 2024

[@TravelBlogJamie]

It’s a great cruise

[@RebeccaNorton-c8l]

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.

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Thank you so much - this means a lot to me. Have a great cruise ❤️

[@Tridentpartytrio]

I’ve just booked a solo cruise to the Caribbean on Marella and this video massively influenced me so THANK YOU! 🥰

[@TravelBlogJamie]

So glad! Enjoy ☺️

Brilliant as always Jamie, ports and food look great. Like the look of the thali at Kora La 🍻

Great video Jamie bringing back loads of great memories from when we went over there we did the St John’s ride the helicopter ride over the stingrays and round the island went Eric Clapton’s‘s house and when was in Nevis we we had a helicopter ride into the volcano amazing place the Caribbean

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Sounds amazing ❤️

Hi Jamie what an awesome suite a very good sized balcony too the Caribbean is gorgeous that chair lift looked fantastic what views ❤ so happy that you had an amazing time, love the towel animals fab video ❤

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Thanks so much

[@cynthiastuart6447]

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) .

[@TravelBlogJamie]

You see, I’m here for you! I’m glad you made that decision. Can’t have you knocking yourself out in the night!

Great video 😊 seems the stingray experience which I did a few years ago hasn’t changed it was chaotic then too 😂

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Yep, no idea what was happening!

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Hi Amanda

[@SoloonaCruise]

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.

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Yes, good amount of time in port and more ports than some other cruise lines

[@stephenm8818]

Just looks like a great cruise, Jamie ! Does Maffoo realise that he is redundant from Coffee Machine operation now ? 😂 Wishing you both a happy and prosperous new year ! 🍾🍸

[@TravelBlogJamie]

I still messed up the coffee making 😫

[@stephenm8818]

@TravelBlogJamie Like we all do ! ❤️

[@SherylMottram]

Ready for part 2

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Awesome 🤩

[@Tee55118]

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!

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]

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

[@nickbardell4533]

Nooks and crannies - w's and f's - 🤣🤣🤣

Can’t believe I said that

Yes they do indeed

Hi Jamie, Happy 2025! Just back from P&O Britannia - I wish I went with you on TUI 😂 Looking forward to Fjords on RC in June! Happy travels ❤

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Something you didn’t like on Britannia?

[@AniaKeis]

@@TravelBlogJamie Ports was great! Entertainment was really bad ( band argue and walk away) no sailing away party, food mha, drink mha ..... Ship was dirty ( my daughter was in isolation and her room service plates was outside cabin for 17h - I call reception and took them another 3h to take them away ...I have Arvia book with friends for 2026 ( Meds) - I think this would be my last time with P&O Britannia is definitely not for me ☹️ Can't wait to your Norwegian vlog in the future!!!!! Looking forward to booking a Disney Cruise next!!!!!!! ⁰o⁰

@ oh that’s sad - i thought this ship had recently had a refurb too

Have you got the list of “ pole cabins “?

[@TravelBlogJamie]

I popped the list in the cabin tour / review of the inside cabin

[@susansutton6619]

I’ve read review twice but can’t see the list .

@ it’s in the actual video

[@tammyd8233]

Happy New Year! Was that 30% refund on the whole cruise or just the excursion? For the St Maarten excursion.

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Sorry Tammy I don’t understand the question here

[@tammyd8233]

@ updated the question. Sorry. You received a letter stating you received a refund of 30%.

[@TravelBlogJamie]

@ for the excursion because of one of the activities not being available

Good Morning 2025❤ Hi Jamie Hi Friends ❤️ lm planning and hoping on my First trip to Japan in October ❤

Have fun!

[@eddiea4]

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. 😛

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Oh anyone who remotely knows me will tell you I did that zip wire (I’ve also never heard of Karl Pilkington).

[@richardwharton3297]

Really enjoyed parts 1 and 2,I think u r becoming very naughty though😮😮😮

[@TravelBlogJamie]

I don’t think I’m ‘becoming’ naughty 👿
