Went our first Marella cruise in July 2022 and was blown away with how naturally friendly the staff were. Going on our 5th one with them to the Canaries in two weeks.

[@TravelBlogJamie]

They are indeed lovely

Fab video and many thanks Jamie. Booked on a two week Marella Caribbean cruise next November. My anticipation grows as I watch you vlogs. Thank you

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Hope you enjoy both!

[@Linda-w3o3s]

Brilliant vlog. Happy memories of Marella and Tortola. We once got a taxi to Brewers Bay as we were told it was a quiet beach. QUIET?? There were the four of us and …a goat🤣🤣🤣

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Sounds great!

[@ticketyboo6435]

Love the video and the fact you enjoy a cocktail. Cruise looks nice and quiet. I’ve inky ever done one cruise and it was heaving but I bloody loved it Was Transatlantic with 6 sea days ❤

[@TravelBlogJamie]

I lived my transatlantic to New York ❤️

[@davest4mmo464]

Cruised the Paradise Islands on board Voyager two weeks before you, then had a week stay in Barbados. Lovely ship, beautiful islands, Fab holiday 🌞🌴🥥🍹🍺

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Sounds great! Glad you enjoyed your holiday

[@lisalp2963]

Really impressed by the amount of food options on board. Another informative but fun vlog. I must admit that the excursion would have finished me off, but the beach looked fabulous 😂. Excited for part 2

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Wow Jamie, that Suite is sumptuous and luxurious just like.................................................................. me! My wife and I will be joining Voyager on 16/1/25 for a 2 week cruise celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary and my wife's birthday on 26/1/25 whilst in St Maarten. As it's a special occasion we have pushed the boat out (apologies for the pun) and have gone for premium seats on the TUI Dreamliner and a large balcony cabin aboard ship. We usually use P&O for our Caribbean cruises but were a little disappointed last year with the level of service and food quality so thought it was time for a change. We have sailed with Marella a few times and have always enjoyed what was on offer. This will be the first time we will be using them for the Caribbean but you have really whetted our appetite with this video. Wishing you and Mafoo a Happy New Year, keep the blogs coming.

[@TravelBlogJamie]

I have to say this was a better all around experience than our P&O Caribbean experience. I hope you enjoy as much as I did!

[@janerees8990]

Fabulous!!

[@TravelBlogJamie]

❤️❤️❤️

[@MKrail-w3y]

Brilliant Jamie❤ I'm in Tortola for my birthday, will not be doing the trek, but the Beach and hopefully Pussers for the painkiller 👍🏻

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Have fun!

Thanks! 🙏

[@sarahsmith6136]

Hi Jamie … I’m loving your channel, you certainly make me giggle lots 😂 Could you please say which company you would choose to do a first cruise with now you have the knowledge you have. I’m wanting to go on a Caribbean one for our 20th wedding anniversary in March 2026. Thanks in advance for any advice xx

[@TravelBlogJamie]

My preferred Caribbean cruise so far was with Marella because I love their port-intense itineraries and all inclusive product which makes things easy

[@sarahsmith6136]

@ thank you, I am studying as I text 🤣

[@TravelBlogJamie]

@ 👍👍👍

[@ASCOT1111]

A different landing in Barbados process if flying on Virgin or B.A. Bonded applies just to TUI- Marella. details will be on the booking form. Marella use TUI, B.A. and Virgin flights to Caribbean. never noticed any "cutbacks" on Voyager. P&O yes for sure cutbacks each cruise with them.

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Yes, this vlog about flying with Marella / Tui not the other airlines / cruise companies 🙏

[@MikeStevens-bh8zm]

Great video Jamie....we were on this ship back in May for a week in the Med. We loved it. Food was good and the staff were amazing. We're off to the Caribbean on the 7th Jan on Marella Explorer 2. So looking forwad to it and escaping the dark and grey skies here. Can't remember if you have been on Explorer 2? Looking forward to your next video. Mike

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Yes, we loved Explorer 2! Have the vlogs too ❤️ have a great time!

[@MikeStevens-bh8zm]

Thanks Jamie, We'll check those out before we go. Looking forward to your recent river cruise vlog. Happy new year 🎉

[@cynthiastuart6447]

What a totally fantabulous vlog! Voyager looks absolutely perfect for me and I really love watching you having such a joyful time on board and on land, If I may ask, do Marella/Tui cruises do the bonded luggage thing on all their sailings, or just on certain itineraries?

[@TravelBlogJamie]

It’s usually with their own TUI fleet ❤️ Glad you enjoyed!

[@journeyswithj246]

7:46 Don't they offer electronic wristbands? Having to push in a card seems like old technology. The other cruise I went on you tap the key card. Most people use lanyards or electronic wristbands

[@TravelBlogJamie]

This ship is 27 years old though

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Ps most cruise lines don’t have electronic wristbands

[@stella4ever2009]

Is there a part 2 Jamie ? Many Thanks

[@TravelBlogJamie]

This Wednesday

[@stella4ever2009]

Amazing, thank you !! P.s I set this youtube account up many years ago. I think my tag reflects this 🤣

[@freddiegillespie_05]

You might point out to anyone who complains about you eating curry in the Carribbean that the locals have their own versions of curries and, so, curries are actually also a local food. I still hear you about "eat what you want when you're on vacation". You're quite right. I'm just saying, curry in the Carribbean is the possibly the least "touristy" thing you could eat.

[@TravelBlogJamie]

There were a few goat and chicken curries here and there for sure! 👌

[@TravelBlogJamie]

It’s a lavender distresser for bed time

[@markberesford2140]

Is it comparable with the Arvia last year or worlds apart?

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Well apart from the ship being much older / smaller and fewer facilities, it was much better in many levels

[@CommodoreSteve]

Is there a Solo's meet up?

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Yes

[@Angela-lg6jz]

I’ve done 25 cruises with marella and never had an upgrade.

How people choose to ignore the sanitizer in buffet (as seen) is beyond me & if they won't do that then there's a high probability they won't wash after a loo visit also. 🤢
