Marella Voyager | The Kitchens explained | A CONTROVERSIAL CHANGE for Marella Cruises

[@janetwhitten3945]

I like the fact it’s not self service. I also like the variety of different food. Really looking forward to getting onboard in august

[@travelwithjonnyandwill]

We loved this new concept compared to a traditional buffet restaurant

[@kontiki6357]

Brilliantly explained how the kitchens work! Thank you👍

[@travelwithjonnyandwill]

Thank you for watching. We know its not everyone's cup of tea but we really liked The Kitchens.

[@jacquelinewilis7002]

Thanks guys..really helpful..we go on our first cruise and on voyager in may 2025..so excited .

[@travelwithjonnyandwill]

Lucky ducks 🦆 If we hadn’t another cruise booked we might have been onboard too 😂. We did love The Kitchens and felt it was a nice change from traditional buffet.

[@paulamatt614]

Thank you guys lovely video, myself and my partner, Andrew will be on the Marella Voyager in 2025 to celebrate 25 years together , we intend on going on a two week cruise. We were on a. Marella cruise last September for 7 nights that was our third cruise first time we had a balcony which was fabulous . Can’t wait to go on Marella’s last cruise ship looks so amazing xx

[@paulamatt614]

Meant latest cruise ship, 😂

[@travelwithjonnyandwill]

Hope you and Andrew have a great cruise and enjoy the ship as much as we did

[@EllieLauren__2209]

We are due to board 1st July, loving the update videos for tips! 🥰

[@travelwithjonnyandwill]

Aww thank you. Glad you’re enjoying the videos. Not long until your cruise now

[@michaelthompson6885]

Many thanks for the insight into the kitchens concept but it does not appear to be something we would like just give us an old fashioned buffet and be done with it Marella.

[@travelwithjonnyandwill]

Definitely worth giving it a go but we know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea 👍

[@pauladoodles1972]

Amazing description guys 😊

[@travelwithjonnyandwill]

Aww thank you. Glad you enjoyed this video 👍

[@patriciabracewell1089]

Well done guys in another great vlog. Very well explained. I think the concept of The Kitchen will be a great success and will prevent food waste and is more hygienic. I can well identify the problem with the traditional buffet, after putting varied food items on your plate, once you get it back to the table it doesn’t look very appealing 😂

[@travelwithjonnyandwill]

Looking forward to seeing how The Kitchens works out for Marella. Thanks for watching

[@Woolfy1]

Excellent insight, thanks guys. I like the look of this system. Serious worries about my old waistline now.

[@travelwithjonnyandwill]

Haha all in moderation. Thanks for watching.

[@gemmaakame23]

We're boarding 1st July! Very excited, thank you for the tours and tips!

[@travelwithjonnyandwill]

Thanks for watching. It’s our pleasure. Have a great cruise

[@WendyBarlow-zb6mp]

Thanks for this. I'm loving the new system.

[@travelwithjonnyandwill]

Us too, we hope they roll this out on some of their other ships through time.

[@awaywithpaul3423]

Great video, really like this idea, plenty of choice. Thanks for taking time to explain

[@travelwithjonnyandwill]

Thanks for watching! We really loved this new concept instead of a buffet but it is not everyone’s cup of tea

[@leah4lifeee720]

I've been watching all your Marella voyager videos as I'm boarding in august!! Can't wait to try all the food, especially at the kitchen and nonna's

[@travelwithjonnyandwill]

Thank you for taking the time to watch. Enjoy your cruise in August. 😀

[@RhiannaBevan-walker]

Going on 25th of this month looking forward to it so much X

[@travelwithjonnyandwill]

Excellent we hope you have a brilliant cruise.

[@hazelpawley5054]

Good to meet you both onboard, personally I really liked the Kitchens.

[@travelwithjonnyandwill]

Great to meet you as well. Hope you enjoy your next Voyage as much as you did the first Voyager cruise.

[@user-xu6nl6xc6t]

I really love a Marella cruise booked Discovery 2 for a week around the med,I prefer the Discovery 2 over Voyager just for the atrium and the walking track around the whole ship.

[@travelwithjonnyandwill]

We need to try the Discovery ships, hopefully this year. What this space 👍

[@user-xu6nl6xc6t]

We are booked in Dis 2 for 27th August getting for same price as 2019 so we feel we are getting a bargain. Maybe see you’s on board 👍

[@brahambarnett5901]

The food was very nice

[@travelwithjonnyandwill]

We loved the food onboard

[@cybershot123]

Thanks Will and Jonny nice info to have booked June trip 2024

[@travelwithjonnyandwill]

Thanks for watching. Hope you have a great cruise

[@clivemcquire7686]

Great video style guys, I’m subscribed 👍🏻

[@travelwithjonnyandwill]

Awesome, thank you! Glad you enjoyed

[@user-qv8pv1kr2l]

Thanks lads nice wee dog

[@travelwithjonnyandwill]

Glad you enjoyed it. Our dogs like to be on camera especially if we aren’t paying them enough attention when filming 🤣

[@davehannigan3438]

Great overview, thanks very much👏🏼

[@travelwithjonnyandwill]

Thanks for watching.

[@johnandpaulstravels]

Liked the look of this as an alternative to Virgin's offering. Thanks for the video. Made us hungry though 😂

[@travelwithjonnyandwill]

Thanks for watching. Yes, all the options made us hungry as well.

[@ThatScottishGeek]

We were on the ship with you saw you around. I enjoyed the food but we were on for two weeks and got real samey real quick

[@travelwithjonnyandwill]

Thanks for watching. At lunchtimes the food is very similar, so it’s good that there is other free options available on board.

[@marksheppard1960]

Sounds amazing 👌

[@travelwithjonnyandwill]

We wish we were there eating our way around those stations 👍

[@robsmith7430]

Explained it well lads I just can’t believe I can’t get a drunken curry after 12 o clock 😱

[@travelwithjonnyandwill]

Yes the late night snacks are not late enough 😂. Thanks for watching

[@mickthompson584]

After the wonderful experiences we have had on the Discovery ships why change it? It appears Voyager is not for us. Thanks for the info fellers.

[@travelwithjonnyandwill]

Thanks for watching.

[@user-lt6jw6ju5h]

Did you happen to have a photo of the kitchen lunch menus too? Looking forward to trying it all😂

[@travelwithjonnyandwill]

Unfortunately not. Thanks for watching 😀

[@FraserAtSea]

It sounds like they're essentially trying to take on Virgin with this one - not sure how keen I am for them to move away from the traditional buffets. I'll be really interested to see how this develops over the next couple of years...

[@travelwithjonnyandwill]

It is definitely a marmite decision. People either love it or hate it

[@susanwhitfield3616]

Loved your video love the idea of the kitchenx

[@travelwithjonnyandwill]

Thanks for watching. We love the kitchens.

[@bw14fc1]

Thanks for the explanation of how this works... It looks brilliant! Much more choice! There doesn't seem to be as much seating as in the buffets on the explorers from what i can see... Was this ever a problem that you noticed? 😊

[@travelwithjonnyandwill]

We felt it was the opposite. We thought there were more tables and chairs in the Kitchens compared to the other Explorer ships. We never struggled finding a table to sit at. Thanks for watching our videos 👍

[@bw14fc1]

@@travelwithjonnyandwill that's fantastic... Thank you 👍🏻

[@jwest4393]

Fab video of the Kitchens, well done. As a food addict I have to ask, was there coleslaw available anywhere?

[@travelwithjonnyandwill]

We didn’t see it and it wasn’t on the menu for the dressed leaf. Sorry we couldn’t be more certain for you. Thanks for watching

[@N1337w]

Great video guys! I have a question - did you try the Greek food? What was it like? Also, do they have the traditional gyros going round on the spit?

[@travelwithjonnyandwill]

Yes we did I had the chicken thigh, pitta, vegetable sewer with humus and a dressing which I cannot remember the name of. They did have the gyros meat that was spinning behind the counter. You can sort of see it in the footage but I didn’t take a close up. Thanks for watching

[@Anonymous-jj4tn]

Hi great video so much said, is porridge an option for breakfast?

[@travelwithjonnyandwill]

Yes there is porridge available. Thanks for your comment

[@70PaulK]

Very good video. So the ice creams are free, with no additional charge?

[@travelwithjonnyandwill]

Yes ice creams are free. All food within the kitchen was included. Thanks for watching

[@RobG22267]

Is alcohol available to have with your meal in the Kitchens, a glass of wine for example.

[@laurathompson8500]

Yes , there is beer and wine available by the pump

[@travelwithjonnyandwill]

There is indeed beer and wine available on draught. This is the same as soft drinks.

[@user-qv8pv1kr2l]

Is it not cake first 😂😂😂

[@travelwithjonnyandwill]

Always room for cake

[@Didderly]

So it's all being served for you like in lockdown....Not for me. I'll stick to the other ships.

[@travelwithjonnyandwill]

Thanks for watching. It does seem more efficient than the old style buffets being served to you. It’s not to everyone’s liking but there are so many other places to eat onboard if you don’t like The Kitchens.

[@raymonddollan4221]

didnt like it not as good as other ships

[@travelwithjonnyandwill]

Shame you didn’t like it as much as the others
