วีดีโอ

We did this cruise last year, and loved the locations. We have never done any cruise excursions, as we like to walk off a ship and just explore; usually the town is only a short walk away. We might do a few touristy attractions, but mostly we just sit in a square with a drink and watch the world go by, or go in a few shops and so on. The food onboard is terrific, we love the Italian restaurnant best of all, not sure what the problem with the desserts was (?) as I found plenty of choice that I loved. We do take the premium package as it works out at about £12.00 each per day and we love the good coffee in the coffee longue, as complete addicts and also the quality of the wine choice is better. I make a point to try different cocktails on the premium list each evening to make it pay, really not that hard a task to be challenged with! I agree about the shows, some of the female singing actually hurt my ears, it was so shouty, and being slightly overweight as a dancer, is not a good look (probably too much temptation with the food onboard?). Our favourtie cruise of all (which we have done several times) is the Marella Explorer to the Canary Islands in Spring, really terrific weather and locations, not over crowded like the Med, which everyone rushes too, the area feels a lot calmer and more relaxed and enjoyable all round.

I live on dissabillity in sweden so I will never be able to afford a cruise so I live vicuriously through cruisetube.

Been with Marella several times was never disappointed only one that not very good was the old marella dream really rundown ship the crew was terrific

Abit of a buggerto please

Those robes look very comfy! We really want to try Cunard! The plug socket situation by the beds are very good. However, that TV placement is a bit unfortunate! That is a very cute and compact little camera you have, what is it?

Really useful vlog.❤

This look an amazing, we’re having a little city break as well, want to choose this hotel but found some bad reviews about it’s cleanliness and alleged ‘moldy/dusty smell in rooms’ 😢 Seeing this video helps so much, have you experienced any trouble one this? Thank you in advance ☺️

Thanks

Thank you so much. We are doing our first cruise this year on the Marella Explorer to Croatia. We found your blogs SO SO useful.

Great video, thanks Lucy. That Star Wars ride looked brilliant, and so much fun. Bit emotional at the end there with those fireworks!

Great vlog! What microphone do you use?

Thanks Lucy. Those interactions with the Disney characters were just brilliant!

What room no ?

Thanks Lucy. Great your cold didn’t seem to spoil your day too much. The food in the festival food looked really good, as did the character meet up in the restaurant.

Watching this as I'm on Explorer in December, but wanted to mention something you picked up on, that seems consistent to what I've seen. The theatre show singers never singing songs that suit their vocal ranges. I had that on MSC Musica back in May and on P&O Azura just last month. It's like whoever programs these shows doesn't think of tonality of the singer and if they have the range to carry the dynamics of the piece properly. It's like on Musica, they had this operatic singer, but they tried having him do pop 80% of the time, totally wasting what was his strength.

I was in this same ship during the summer, I agree with the comments on the choreography but the performers where some of the nicest people I’ve ever met, in fact I’m still in contact with some of them now, it was a brilliant cruise and I wish I could go back!

Great review, thank you, we did explorer 2 in sept, booking on explorer for a med cruise for april. Loved how simple the booking and whole flight, transfer and embarkation was. Certainly got the bug!! 😁🚢

Booked our trip last November was a bit dubious as I’ve never cruised before and got for my partners 60th thank you I’m looking forward to it now,

Another great video, thanks Lucy. That looked like another full on long day, so no surprise you are chilling out a bit tomorrow. Amazed by the rides at Disney with such hi-tech being used.

Thank you I feel more positive about booking that cruise line now.

Hi I notice on the letter you had it had a charge for a late check out, were sailing on marella in March with later flight so I would pay the later check out, do you pay at end of the cruise?

Does the Aircon also double up as a heater?

Great vlog. Rise of resistance looks amazing

Same on most cruise ship Costa do the same last night expect no sleep 😡

Thanks Lucy. Great mixture of rides and animals, and quite a different day to the other parks by the looks of it.

Looks a great day! The character lunch looks amazing!! Can’t wait to go on Tron! Look forward to the next episode!

Obviously....PIGLET!! ❤❤❤ Your mum must have had THE BEST birthday! Love your tshirt btw 😍 Thank you for these vlogs, I'm loving watching them

Thanks Lucy. I’m not surprised your feet were painful after such a long day! The character lunch looked great fun, and Tron looked a very different ride to the rest of them there.

Oh bless you you looked pale! Still looks a great day at Epcot! Cannot wait to go back next year! Love Guardians of the Galaxy sooo good! Look forward to the next episode!

Great vlog! Your hotel looks good and liked the water taxis! Loved the pins, bag and ears!

Looks great Lucy, thank you. After your long travel day in yesterday, suspect your body was catching up with you what with the very early start, heat, humidity and exhaustion. All the attractions looked as good as ever, and new Guardians looked something special given your reactions. Looking forward to seeing Pooh and Co next time!

Hey! Thank you for watching! If you didn’t see my Instagram story, then please bear with me on this vlog as I’m not feeling very well in the middle of the day and it goes a bit squiffy 😩 A reminder to drink lots of water and have shade/aircon breaks! Also I wanted to mention that usually I try and make my vlogs informative, but this is a bit more of a fun series of my holiday with my family 🥰 I’m definitely no Disney World expert 🤣 Thank you again for watching 🥰 Lots of love! Xxx

Very helpful. I'm booked on a Tilbury cruise for next summer. Haven't used Ambassador before, but will see how it compares to Marella and P&O.

Noooooo I’m going this flight next week and I get very anxious 😟

Great vlog! Excited to watch the whole trip. ❤

I've been on Ambition from Liverpool so handy the cruise was great everything was lovely 😍

So you parked at Tilbury but sailed from Bristol? Why didnt you park at Bristol. I'm sailing from Tilbury in 2026 for 31 days in the Med & hopefully I will do a Caribbean cruise of 41 days in 2027. As a solo its very hard getting cabins with them, so book early & prices are nearly what 2 pay. You can wait for last few weeks to see you can catch a bargain fare, but solos are few.

i was also there by cruise ship holland america line loved it ,the marella was also docked at these day

Great video! You can guess I love Pooh and friends too! 🥰😆

Thanks Lucy. Phew, what a great long day and seems that turbulence towards the end of your flight made for an unexpected first white knuckle ride!

Liked your opinions on this cruise, and I don't think I'd like to wait that long for my meal, tough for the staff serving

Great video, thank you,. You have a lovely clear voice but the music really spoilt it for me, to loud and upbeat, not nice.

When i go to a new place I like to first take a sponsored shore excursion. Places I've been to before I might take a sponsored excursion or go to places near the ship. Not a big fan of cable cars. Am subscribed. Even hit the like button. Ah food, not just drinks. No handrails on stairs. These stairs have handrails. Some stairs have handrails while others don't. Deck parties aren't all that good. My wife used to like them, but, music is loud and you can't hear a person standing next to you. Salads could be good, wok stations too, but, it depends on what they have. I like Italian food. My wife's Italian.

Food has to be good on a cruise. Didn't like the food on several cruise lines and will not go back. Italian food is mostly good. My wife's Italian. The Mediterranean sounds good too. Snack Shack looks like a buffet. Marketplace is a Buffet. Not a Sushi fan. You could get very sick eating raw or undercooked fish. Steakhouses are usually good. Kora LA I would probably pass on. Bad service is also a turn off. Afternoon tea is also good. Some cruise lines do it better than others. Not really a bar person. Mini golf could be good. If I was to drink that much per day would probably die of cirrus of the liver. When on vacation don't like to be online. Watching a sail away or a sail into port was good from the balcony. Went on a Cunard Cruise. Was disappointed.

Thanks Lucy. Amazing how much that little bag could take, it looks like you have everything covered! Looking forward to these Walt Disney World vlogs with your new equipment. Have a great holiday!

Thank you Lucy, you've just reminded me of a couple of things I need to pack! So excited for you too! 😉😄

Ouch that was a long wait for your meal. Makes us really sad seeing the ship understaffed! 😢 They work so hard as it is! Really detailed review Lucy 😃

Thank you so much for this wonderful review Lucy 😊😊 My wife and I are on the Marella next week 😊

Travel irons are allowed on all marella ships.

There are water stations on almost decks , we just go there for the water to make a cuppa on our cabin
