What to do in Marseille (in 1 day!) | Marseille France Port Day on Virgin Voyages Vlog

[@MissMooreStyle]

Seriously tho....why were schmucks only 5 euro? Enquiring minds need to know! When you travel, do you like to try to see as much as possible like me, or chill more like Nate?

[@olka85]

Schmuck means jewelry in german 🙃

[@MissMooreStyle]

@@olka85 hah!!! Ok. That makes sense! Thank you!!!

[@webidu]

The original word in Yiddish is shmok, so there seems to be a translation error to english language that was cultivated.

[@jessicamoore7981]

@@webidu interesting!

[@chilloutambiance]

Schmuck is a Yiddish slang for penis. also can be the "clean up cloth" after sex. LOL!

[@samanthaauriel3205]

The shuttle information from the cruise port was so VALUABLE. Thank you for sharing it. This information is not easy to find through any of VV’s communications, so personally, I really appreciate you sharing details. Thanks so much!

[@MissMooreStyle]

Of course! ♥️♥️ hope you enjoy your upcoming cruise!

[@garytilkin]

I would like to personally thank you for taking the time to do your video. Marseille is our last stop on our 10 day cruise in November 2023. I have made a Playlist of our Vacation for my wife and friends joining us. This will be included. If I might be so bold and sometime I am afraid to say anything but please accept the complement in the most warm manner. Your red dress was outstanding. Great choice.

[@pepsiwepsi1952]

Thank you for this! This is one of my ports next year!

[@MissMooreStyle]

I’m so glad this helps! Enjoy your day in Marseille!

[@SakuraYoshita]

I’m French and lived close to Marseille for a long time! I have shown many of my foreign friends around and they all fell in love with the city. I’m glad you got to see so much in a little time

[@MissMooreStyle]

We loved it!! I definitely want to go back someday and stay longer when I’m not on a cruise :)

[@nguyenloanngoc]

Do people speak English in Marseille?

[@MissMooreStyle]

@@nguyenloanngoc For the most part, yes, though as with anywhere in Europe you will encounter people who speak very little english or no english at all, but as a whole I'd say most people we interacted with spoke some English, though we always try to speak french while we are there just as a show of courtesy

[@SakuraYoshita]

@@nguyenloanngoc You will be able to find people who speak English especially younger people. Usually French people are reluctant to speak English (just a heads up). You'll have a wonderful time Marseille either way but if you have a French speaker during your trip, you'll have a blast

[@SarahRocks2012]

Thank you for the great video. I plan to see if you have other videos for the other ports on the French Daze and Ibiiza nights cruise. I'm wondering how much the shuttle you took at the beginning was? Also, I heard you say Happy Hour on the cruise when you got back. Interested!

[@MissMooreStyle]

The shuttle at the beginning was free! I have videos for every port from this cruise however they changed one of the ports (Olbia) to Mallorca since we did this voyage. The happy hour on board the ship is at Richard’s rooftop which is for rockstar sailors

Thank you for this walk thru, I'll be in Marseille for a day in June (cruising) and was going to pay the whopping $73 for a day tour. I usually do the Hop-on-off bus but one never knows how far the terminal is until arriving and already purchased the ship's excursion. You save me some euros.

just gor back from a trip to France and went to Marsille. the weather and the people are nice. restaurants takes along time to serve food but I guess France are know from relaxing and at no rush..the bus transportation are amazing and affordable..I enjoyed my 3days trip and will go back again. also the tourist service crew also very nice and friendly...and they can help speaking in English too.

I'm in love with your vlogs, what program are you using for that gorgeous text behind you please? It's FABULOUS! Thank you!

[@MissMooreStyle]

Thank you!!! I do that using this program! Basically you import the clip you want to have that title in, and you mark off everything in the clip that you want to cut out to be on top. Once you do that you export it as a green screen and lay it over the original clip in your editing software’s timeline and put the title between the original clip and the green screen clip and bam that’s how you do it :) runwayml.com

That sounds like it was a fun tour! Did the electric bikes not get you up that hill? Whew. That would be some work to pedal up!

Hey LA girl, You actually did a pretty good job narrating the day trip in Marseille. I was pleasantly surprised and impressed. I’m inclined to think that you do this professionally. And if you don’t, you definitely should. So 👍👍 for you. Just one minor little detail though; what’s up with cranky ?! 😁 You know.. ‘’let’s go climb more $hit’’ Nothing like a great travel companion to enjoy your trip, right ?! 😉

[@MissMooreStyle]

Who said the let’s go climb quote, I can’t remember. If it was me, eh, I just talk like that sometimes but I love climbing stuff. Exercise is good. Nate isn’t really that grumpy, his feet just start hurting. Still gotta figure out better shoes for him 🤣 Glad you enjoyed and thought I was professional! I always try to do a good amount of research on the places I visit so I can share interesting and helpful info!

[@o.24]

No, it wasn’t you who said: ‘’Let go climb more ...’’ Your dude did. And you said something along the lines of: ‘’He’s so mad at me..’’ ‘’It’s only day 2 in Europe.. day 2 of our cruise trip, and I’ve already broken him. That’s not a good sign’’ Refer back to the 11th minute onward.

Nothing more American than travelling to France and grab a burger for lunch 😂 Other than that... Good vídeo and suggestions on what to see in the city

Excellent video thank you! Question, we only have a 5 hour stop at the Marseille port, is this enough time to see the Notre Dame Basilica?

[@MissMooreStyle]

Definitely! It might take you 2hrs round trip to see it at a pretty leisurely pace

[@asmrjeweler9237]

I am doing a similar trip soon. We are planning on getting various currencies from our bank before we go to save on exchange rates. How did you deal with money? Did you credit card everything? Or exchange when you got there?

[@MissMooreStyle]

I always try to exchange my money to the currency I’ll be in before it leave! I have a place in LA I go to that has a pretty low exchange rate. We did try to use our credit card (chase sapphire reserve) whenever possible just to conserve the cash for times when it is absolutely necessary. A couple cafes in marseille we could only pay in cash so I’d def recommend having some on hand when you get into that port!

[@svetlanakozak6949]

You look so cute, I love your earrings😊

[@motheranddaughterabroad]

Did you do any shore excursions through Virgin or just wandered on your own at each port? TIA!

[@MissMooreStyle]

We just wandered on our own!! I wanted to be able to see as much of each port as I could but in hindsight, an excursion in olbia might have been good, tho we kinda made our own excursion there

[@doninicdorai2131]

Loved the video! How long was your whole trip in Marseille, time you left, time you came back? I am bringing my kids, both runners so they will keep up with the stairs and walk. It’s me the problem 😢

[@MissMooreStyle]

Thanks!!! You mean what time we got off the ship and went back on? I’d say we got on the bus around 10am, got back on around 4:30 bc it just was super hot at that point and we’d basically seen all we could see without risking being too late to get back on the ship.

@@MissMooreStyle Yes the very first bus. We are leaving out of Barcelona on Royal Caribbean! So excited. Thanks for your response🤩

[@MissMooreStyle]

@@marireyes8565 gotcha! well in that case, i'm not entirely sure, since this bus was basically just for us virgin voyage passengers, but i'm sure royal caribbean will have a similar set up for you guys! As with all cruises, I'd just say when you get on board ask someone how their disembarking process works when you get to the ports and whether or not you have to sign up for a designated time to get off the ship/get on the bus, etc, that way you can know what you need to do and if you have to secure a sort of spot ahead of time.

[@scottlewis250]

Does the ticket for the Petit Train to Notre Dame De la Garde need to be bought in advance or at the time you are takinng the train? Also, I read it is an 8 minute walk to the shuttle bus terminal, but you say there at buses right at the port. Is that still accurate information? Very informative video. My 7 sisters & I are taking this cruise and we each have a port to research and this is my port so any added information would be appreciated. Thank you!

[@MissMooreStyle]

You can just walk up and purchase the petit train ticket, they seem to have them coming and going continuously. When we went, the shuttle buses to the city were right in front of the ship so a 30 second walk. When you want to come back, you just go to where the buses drop you off, which is right near the fort that we went to last. Not sure what the 8 min walk would be? Also I made videos for every port on this cruise if you want to check those out to see what we did there :)

[@scottlewis250]

Looks like you got to explore quite a lot in one day. How many hours did you stay in port? Going to Marseille next week on a cruise

[@MissMooreStyle]

We did for sure! I’d say we got on the shuttle around 10am and got back on the shuttle to port at about 5pm ish?

[@darylbarkley8940]

how do you pay for things- Transportation? food? USD cash? or credit cards? or do you have to exchange money for their euros.

[@MissMooreStyle]

So we have a credit card with 0 foreign transaction fees so we use that whenever possible but whenever I go to another country I always go and exchange cash USD for whatever currency of the country I’m going to just to have some cash on hand for those places where they only take cash, which happened a couple times in marseille. Highly recommend exchanging your money before you leave home either from your bank or a currency exchange place that is local to you, because usually their exchange rates/fees will be less than if you do it in the airport or in the destination once you arrive

It's always funny to watch video of foreign people, of a place I know very much (I live closed to Marseille, actually between Aix-en-Provence and Marseille. I worked and made a part of my studies in Marseille, too). And How they see this place, their gaze on it. Marseille seems so much more beautiful in yours eyes than in the reality. In fact, to me, Marseille have the potential to be beautiful and important as much as other major cities in France. But too dirty, too much incivilities, too poor (the state of some buildings is scary), to much corruptions. How the city grow up in La Joliette (near the port) is a nonsense architectural when you compare it to Confluence in Lyon. Too poor artisticly for the 2nd city of France, etc.I hate to go in Marseille, the circulation is horrible, etc. So I see only the defects. And strangely, I want to visit this Marseille wich doesn't exist.

[@MissMooreStyle]

I can see what you mean about marseille and I definitely didn’t think it was the most beautiful city but to me there was something kind of beautiful about its shabbiness. To me it was just interesting to see something so different than Paris, which up until this trip was the only other place I’d been in France. It is a bit of a rough place but I liked it. The day we had there was probably enough so it’s not necessarily a place I feel like I need to go back to but it was interesting!

[@spike_kulu]

@@MissMooreStyle You miss after Fort Saint Jean, the Mucem, and like you say in your video, la" cathédrale de la Major" (very very beautiful, I prefer it to Notre Dame de la Garde). Near "le quartier du Panier", and at the other side of Fort Saint-Jean, "le Palais du Pharo". The littles island of the Frioul, and "Chateau d'If" (wich inspired the comte of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas) in front of "Le Vieux Port". If you like architecture "la maison du fada" (Cité radieuse of Le Corbusier), and of course "le Parc des Calanques". And other place like Friche Belle de Mai (artistic place, and roof-top), Vieille Charité, Parc Borély... But For sure, Provence is so much more than Marseille. Aix en Provence of course, near to Marseille. La Ciotat..., and to me Arles, the most beautiful city of Provence, I'm in love with this city. Avignon (Le Palais des papes), and a lot of small cities and villages : Les Baux de Provence, with "La carrière de Lumière", a must have, projection of paint, art, etc. Saint Rémy de Provence, Gordes. The island of Porquerolles. La Côte bleue (beaches and Calanques), La Camargue, the fortress city of Aigues Mortes, Gordes, Isles sur la Sorgue, Lourmarin, etc., etc. I live there, and don't have enough time in lifetime to see all the beautifull places in Provence. And in France too. Everywhere I go in France, I always see beautiful places, landscape, nature or cities. And I don't say that because I'm french and chauvinist. Just because, to me, It's such a chance to live there and be surrounded by beauty and history, art, architecture, that I tend to forget in everyday life like the French people in general.

[@MissMooreStyle]

@@spike_kulu I definitely want to go and see more of the Provence region someday! That is the tease of being on a cruise, you only get a short time before you have to move on…but what a dream to get to live there. We will definitely be back to explore more of these places someday soon hopefully ♥️
