Visiting CURACAO: the first island of our Tropical Delights tour | Marella Explorer 2 cruise vlog

[@PostcardAndAPint]

I’ve not been to Curacao. We’ve been on Explorer and would love to cruise on Explorer 2. It’s so colourful. Great vlog lads. We enjoyed it. Looks like you had a top day. Cheers 🍻

[@RobCadenElkins]

Ahhhh cheers 🍻 Curacao was (for us) an undiscovered gem and we really enjoyed our time visiting. You can really see the Dutch influence in the buildings, it's like the Carribbean Amsterdam! We are trying out P+O Iona later this year but hopefully going to be sailing with Marella again next year 🙏

I love Rum Punch. 🤤 I enjoyed seeing this island. The nachos looked great. I make them at home lots! Looking forward to Aruba!

[@RobCadenElkins]

Oh I definitely enjoyed a rum punch or two, it's the rules isn't it?! Haha. And those nachos 🤤

[@denise4152]

Excellent vlogs so far, very useful info. I hope you enjoyed Aruba, looking forward to seeing how it went.

[@RobCadenElkins]

Thank you Denise! Glad you enjoyed it and got some value from it. Aruba was AMAZING!! Take me back 🙏

Brilliant work - loved the music too .. we go on same cruise on Sunday 29th January from Brum too. Were the broadway shows ok or rubbish. We have read mixed reviews, Love to see any vids you have of them.

[@RobCadenElkins]

Oh just a week to wait, that's exciting!! We went along to a couple of shows which honestly weren't the sort of thing we would normally do but when on a cruise... The dancers in particular were very talented and all hard working. We really liked the comedian also. Have a great time 💃

Love to see any vids you have of broadway shows

[@RobCadenElkins]

I honestly can't remember whether I have any footage, I think possibly not as I wasn't sure about permission and copyright, sorry

[@drewmccurdy-qt6ut]

@@RobCadenElkins Thank you so much for replying

Looking with interest, our first cruise experience in a week and quite excited (same itinerary). Didn’t you get tempted to buy any excursions? Thnx.

[@RobCadenElkins]

We did buy tickets for an attraction in Aruba and also had something booked in Bonaire, but no we didn't want to do any big organised excursions. Have a great time, I'm jealous of some winter sun!!

[@juliewest8874]

What were the temperatures like? Looks so beautiful. Thanks

[@RobCadenElkins]

Oh it was really beautiful, we really enjoyed it. I'm fairly sure it was high 20s / low 30s ☀️😎

[@MrsTudds]

Great video. Thanks. 6 weeks I'll be there ⛱🛳

[@RobCadenElkins]

Oh lovely, have you started packing yet 🤣🤣 are you on the same tour that we did? Have a great time!!

[@MrsTudds]

@@RobCadenElkins Yes Marella explorer 2, tropical delights. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your video's 😜.

[@RobCadenElkins]

@@MrsTudds Amazing!

[@louisecresswell9026]

Looks lovely, and not too busy? ❤

[@RobCadenElkins]

Considering that there was our ship plus two others in port on the day it really didn't seem very busy at all! I don't know if most people did organised excursions or stayed on the ship 🤷‍♂️ either way, we liked it!
