    Come along with us as we set off on a Far East Cruise on Marella Discovery 2 cruise ship. We take you through some check in procedures, give a handy hint on travel pillows for a long haul flight. We visit Wetherspoons for a coffee, show how to avoid paying over the odds for water at the airport. Join us on the plane as we let you know what it is like on a 12 hour flight. Once at Singapore we will tell you what happens to your luggage and how you get to the ship. We show you where the ship is docked before taking a short but well needed nap. After a snooze join us for our first cocktail of the holiday and dinner at Restaurant 47. What was it like? You may be surprised. Come along on our first vlog of our Marella Discovery 2 series to find out.

    Wow, seems one heck of a jaunt from Brum to cabin! I hope it`s worth it. I`ll find out at the end of your vlogs. Great, simple tip about photographing your cases. Never give it a thought before.

      It's one of Lisa's worries that her case will go missing with her clothes in. It hasn't happened yet, but until they arrive outside the room, she can't relax! 😂

    We did the Asian cruise in 2020, but we landed in Thailand and had to go through the airport , and on the way back the quickest check-in to boarding because of covid19 starting , me and my parents also done Caribbean cruises with Marella, never had a problem

    I love getting the chocolate on the pillow, first cruise we did , for the first few weeks we carried on putting a chocolate on the pillow

      😂 Brilliant! You've got to love a chocolate on the pillow. Thanks for watching again. 👍

    I passed by this ship in Singapore yesterday, 22.02 Harbor Front - looked pretty ok considering the age of her.

    After watching this, I bet the chef's thinking he'd have got away with the tinned food if it wasn't for "them darned pesky Tarians." I hope the birthday cake is better than the cheesecake!

    • @TravellingLightLisa
      @TravellingLightLisa  Před 5 měsíci

      Cheers! The food did get better. I've given up on birthdays so I am still 35! 😁

    I am immediately campaigning for more food reviews from Giles - Birds Eye Mixed vegetables and dishwater coffee - superb!😂

    • @TravellingLightLisa
      @TravellingLightLisa  Před 5 měsíci

      It's just a regular tea for us but not what we want on holiday! 😂 Spoiler...the food got better.

      How exciting! We want to go back. Thanks for watching and commenting. Any questions just drop us a message.

    No to an inside i like my balcony ❤

    • @TravellingLightLisa
      @TravellingLightLisa  Před 4 měsíci

      Depending on the cruise and the price, I could be persuaded. We did have a balcony once as it was the same price as an inside. We used it to read on sea days, and whilst it was lovely, it wasn't essential for us. But you stick to your balconies after all, it's your holiday! Happy travelling, and thanks for watching 👍

    Off on the D1 in a few weeks... not quite the long haul you had, that flight would drive me crazy 😉

    • @TravellingLightLisa
      @TravellingLightLisa  Před 5 měsíci +1

      Have a fabulous time. Yes the flight was a pain but worth it for the fabulous ports of call. Thanks for watching. Will be interesting to know if you think Discovering is very different to Discovery 2. It's been a few years since we were on Discovery.

    Routine for Friday nights is now: Dinner/glass of wine and your video ! Would love to do a far East trip, but Debbie has set a limit of a five hour plane trip. Still, can experience it through your videos. Thanks for persevering with this one; you did look tired !

    • @TravellingLightLisa
      @TravellingLightLisa  Před 5 měsíci +1

      Thanks Nick. It took another day to fully get over it, but it was worth it. I guess we will have to keep making more videos as we wouldn't want to spoil your Friday night dinner! Thanks for the pressure! 😁

    • @DiscoDavesPubReviews

      Folks, I've had some inside information. There's a dartboard on board. Looking forward to seeing that.

  • @annualtravellers
    @annualtravellers Před 4 měsíci +1

    We are doing this exact cruise from Birmingham next year in March. We will also be documenting our trip for our CZcams channel 😊
    I'm excited to see what it is going to be like & hopefully pick up some tips along the way ❤

    • @TravellingLightLisa
      @TravellingLightLisa  Před 4 měsíci +1

      You won't regret it. We had a fabulous time and have loads of content to come. You will have tons of editing to do when you come back. We will have to check out your channel. We are still new to this vlogging lark and trying to make the videos that we would have wanted to see before we went. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

    Great hack with the draft excluder 😂

  • @EdwardLucas-vv5sn
    @EdwardLucas-vv5sn Před 4 měsíci +1

    We're going on this cruise very soon. Enjoyed your videos. Are you posting any others from this trip? 😀

    • @TravellingLightLisa
      @TravellingLightLisa  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Yes, we are posting cabin tours, entertainment food and drink reviews and some destination videos over the next few weeks each Friday. If there is any particular information you want to know, please feel free to message us. We just want to help people have the best experience possible. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

    • @EdwardLucas-vv5sn
      @EdwardLucas-vv5sn Před 4 měsíci +1

      Future videos sound great. We go in 2 weeks so some destination tips/video before then would be good, he says tongue in cheek. We will watch the videos coming up for sure, whatever the content. Thank you both for taking the time to do them. Take care. 😀

    Great video! We're trying Marella for the first time in March, flying from Birmingham to Singapore so I'm pleased to have found your channel. Looking forward to the rest in the series. We usually cruise with Cunard and have been on some smaller cruise ships, Seabourn, Oceania and Ponant but I'm keen to give Marella a try as it seems good value for money.

    • @TravellingLightLisa
      @TravellingLightLisa  Před 4 měsíci +1

      We have been to some fabulous places with Marella at excellent value. There are some compromises with food quality and cabin size, but for us the ship is pretty much just transport and not a destination in itself. Thanks for grafting your way through our videos. It is much appreciated 😁👍

    Great video guys! 😃 So detailed!! Also noticed the camera trick in the cabin at the end 😜well done! I had to explain it to Nathan! 😂

    • @TravellingLightLisa
      @TravellingLightLisa  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Thank you. We are still experimenting and playing around with our videos and filming. We may get one right eventually! 🤣

      We had a fabulous time. It was such a fascinating corner of the world to explore. If you have any questions on the ship or destinations, feel free to ask us. Thanks for watching 👍

    I hope the cruise was way better than the first meal. 👍👍😊😊

    • @TravellingLightLisa
      @TravellingLightLisa  Před 4 měsíci

      Yes it was. Spoiler... the food got better and the itinerary was great. Thanks for watching guys. 👍

  • @susandean1064
    @susandean1064 Před 4 měsíci +1

    Hope the food and coffee improves.
    Would never have thought of using a draught excluder as you did.
    What a good idea.

    • @TravellingLightLisa
      @TravellingLightLisa  Před 4 měsíci

      Thanks. Yes B&M come in useful at times!!

    • @pa_videos5618

      Tested a draft excluder in dunelm yesterday , definitely more comfortable than my expensive neck cussion

    • @TravellingLightLisa
      @TravellingLightLisa  Před 4 měsíci +1

      @pa_videos5618 Lol! People stare at you in the shop when you are trying them on for size! Lisa liked hers, but I couldn't get to grips with mine - although I am not a fan of neck pillows anyway. Thanks for watching. Happy travels!
