I found your videos when I was researching my New England cruise last April. I really enjoy your videos, they take me to places I've been before and haven't been, they're very informative. Keep up the good work!

It was good fun - though a bit quieter than some as I think everyone had really early flights on this cruise

Watched your video as my sister and I was on the same cruise - spotted ourselves dancing in the background at The sail and shine party lol. Had a great cruise . We did back to back and this was our second week.

It was good wasn’t it. A week is definitely not long enough - I was a bit jealous of the people staying on for another week, but at least I have another coming up fairly soon! 😎

Yes it was my first cruise on Marella and have booked another for New Year on Voyager. It was so friendly and great entertainment

Hello Gary Great video. Very informative. My 1st solo cruise TOMORROW 😁 😀 EXCITED but NERVOUS! Any extra tips or advice please 🙏🏻 Babs 🙂

@@BabsHooper Fantastic - have a great time!! My top tip is go and join in - there will be an invite to a solos meet up - we had a fab group on ME2 - I’m on Discovery now and there were 17 solos at the meet up - all but 2 ladies. But there are 67 in total - travelling with other friends or families, so if the group is not for you chat to anyone!! I’ve made new friends already and it’s only day 2.

Great video Gary! 😃 If you don't mind us saying....we feel you've really upped the quality of your videos on this series! Interesting to see you've got yourself a mic too. Which brand did you opt for out of interest? Oh and by the way, regarding sitting in the wrong plane seat, as Del Boy would say "What a Plonker" haha! 😂😂
@gary_travels2 ай бұрын
I don’t mind at all - compliment gratefully accepted - thank you so much!! I’ll let you have Plonker too - I called myself far worse 🤬🤣 The Bluetooth mics are QHOT Lavalier microphones from Amazon- they are sound cancelling, but I forgot to turn them on once and cancelled all the sound (Plonker again!!). Jury still out as they can sound a bit tinny, but it does cut out the wind noise.

@@gary_travels You're most welcome! We like to give praise whenever we can! 😊 Funnily enough, they are one of the brands we are toying about getting! The sound definitely sounded better with it, so it was worth the purchase!

hi am on the Marella Explorer 2 a week on thursday enjoyed your video how is the beer on the ship
@gary_travels2 ай бұрын
Thanks for watching! Depends what you like - I’m a lager drinker and in the basic package had San Miguel, Peroni (red label), Holstein Pils, Boston Lager, Fosters on draft and a few other random ones. If you’ve upgraded to Premium they had Sol (though they gave that out when San Miguel ran out) and Heineken - there were ciders too - not sure about bitters or ales sorry. Had plenty of wine & Prosecco too!! I never went thirsty 😃 Hope you have a great time - I really enjoyed myself

am looking at going and i dont drink but i see there is an extra £160 to pay if you want better drinks now do you no if the latta coffee is free or do i need to pay that money to get latta and soft drinks ..
@gary_travels2 ай бұрын
Ordinary tea & coffee are free in the buffet (or make it in your cabin) and soft drinks like cola on draft are included (they’ve also lots of mocktails & other non alcoholic drinks, plus Heineken Zero lager) Premium Drinks include the posh coffee at The Coffee Port - I don’t drink it, but I think you can pay as you go if you’re not on Premium (might be worth Googling a price menu to see if it’s worth it to you). You also get cans of Coke etc if you like certain brands. Premium also covers branded spirits which is why a lot of people really like it, but you wouldn’t get that value.
