Excellent video and loved the cabin and the pool area, can’t wait to watch the rest of the series. 👏
Cheers 😎
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!
Thank you so much - it’s really nice to get good feedback - I’m so glad you’re enjoying watching! 😀
And hope you had an amazing time in New England - how good is that!!
Nice Saturday night viewing Gary. My fave ship in the fleet. Next on here for the Dec repo to Carribean
Glad you enjoyed it! I do like this ship. I’m overdue a trip to the Caribbean too!
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
Ww fly this Thursday. Looks lovely
Have a great time - I really enjoyed it. Now I’m a bit jealous haha
Omg such a huge fan of your content!!!!!!
Thank you so much 😎
The Sailaway party looked like great fun! Looking forward to the rest of your series 🚢
It was good fun - though a bit quieter than some as I think everyone had really early flights on this cruise
Great video Gary! It brought back memories from my own cruise 😄 can't wait to see the rest of your trip!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 😎
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! 😂😂
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!
@NamyDoesCruising cheers!
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 ..
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.
@@gary_travels thanks .. i do drink a lot of coffee and pop so maybe better to pay that extra . 2 people for 160 its only like 10er a day i will spend more buying it ..
hi am on the Marella Explorer 2 a week on thursday enjoyed your video how is the beer on the ship
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
@@gary_travels will you have more videos of ship on this week i got the Premium drinks pack so looking forward to my week on board
@@scottishghoststories2404 Premium drinks will give you great choices!
Will hopefully have day 2’s video out on Sunday (fingers crossed it’s not a crazy busy week haha!!)
