Why I stayed on the ship in Guadeloupe… unpopular Caribbean port??

[@ianmc3672]

I went to Guadeloupe twice on my last cruise & even the comedian made a comment saying you got off the ship the first time, I bet you don’t get off the second time ! Being a solo cruiser it’s nice to watch other solo videos, great content, thank you .

[@MerCruisesSolo]

thank you! :)

I’m so happy I found your channel, I’ve been enjoying watching your vlogs 💛 They are really well done and informative. Thank you for showing what it’s like to solo travel, I haven’t done it yet but planning to.

[@MerCruisesSolo]

@@Catherine.B. thanks so much, Catherine! Solo travel is amazing, I hope you decide to do a trip 😊

[@Catherine.B.]

@@MerCruisesSolo Thank you for the inspiration 💛

[@edddd99]

Love the music and the some of your shots and how you edited it is very good, on a pro-level! Well done as always!

[@MerCruisesSolo]

Thanks so much!! 😊

It’s crowded in there, well not crowded, but there are people in there. That made me laugh, I’m glad I’m not the only solo cruiser that sees any amount of people as a crowd. Really enjoying your content, keep up the good work. Your Antarctica cruise has inspired me to seriously consider using my cruisenext credits for that trip. Penguins! 🐧

[@MerCruisesSolo]

You understood exactly what I was saying 😜 I’m not a fan of crowds! Thank you so much for watching!!

Going to Guadeloupe on a cruise in January - I think we’ll do whatever the cruise line has to do there

[@northwestman1]

Thanks for sharing Mel… I always enjoy your videos.

That herb roasted chicken looked so bomb!! and that roasted garlic 😍

[@MerCruisesSolo]

SOOO good! 🤤

What a big mistake not to leave the ship. Guadeloupe is French territories. Euro currency. The Bus #S1 is close to the dock. Runs every 20 min. You can download the app for the timetables. Go to gorgeous beaches, exellent restarants, bakeries ( level of Paris ) of Sainte-Anne, Saint Francois. Scenic drive to Pointe des Chateaux is amazing! All reachable by the public bus. Vive la France!

I went to guadeloupe recently and loved walking around town. We were going to do an all inclusive day pass at club med but decided to wander around for a few hours and return to the ship instead. Enjoyed your video 😊

[@MerCruisesSolo]

Thank you! So glad to hear that! Next time I visit I’ll make sure to spend some time exploring 😊

[@markbradley4179]

Another great video!

Awww introvert vibes I get it boo 😂

[@NarrativeEscapes]

I've been watching these because I've never been that sure about Virgin from a sort of solo Introvert vibe. It always seems a bit full on in some videos and in their marketing (though they have toned that back a bit). How do you find it goes - it obviously works for you!!!

[@MerCruisesSolo]

I actually don’t find that Virgin ships ever get overcrowded - there is always somewhere to go and relax and chill if you don’t want to be around a lot of people (which I usually don’t). Tons of comfy areas to sit and read!

Un buen video, gracias Mer!! 👍🏻

[@MrKn1214]

May I know how much you paid for this cruise? Thanks !

[@MerCruisesSolo]

Without any discounts this cruise would have cost well over $3k but I didn’t pay nearly that much. I used a future voyage credit and received a significant discount because Virgin had cancelled my original booking and had to rebook me twice. Their prices have also gone up quite a bit since I booked this cruise!

[@MrKn1214]

@@MerCruisesSolo ok I see ! I am really interested to give a try with Virgin also as a SOLO, but will probably stay in an interior cabin for a short journey 😊

[@marloes19777]

The Wake is my favorite restaurant on the ship. Love the warm bread, the menu and the design. Razzle Dazzle is my least favorite..like you the food disappointed me. Didn’t taste right somehow.

[@MerCruisesSolo]

Yes, exactly! I definitely could have made the bread at The Wake into a full meal and been perfectly content ☺️

[@karltheman266]

the whining is aggravating . Explains the solo travelling.

[@MerCruisesSolo]

😂 there’s zero whining in this video, only information sharing. I had a great day on this cruise, just like every other day!
