Absolutely LOVE your videos. My partner and I are going on our first Marella Voyager cruise in November for my 25th birthday and we have been so excited watching your videos! We have never done a cruise before so we appreciate all of your tips! Excited to see more of the vids! Alerts are on!!
You're right, Carole. It's definitely a dog! Thanks for showing the drinks menu. I don't drink alcohol so I was happy to see some Mocktails available. I'm looking forward to the next episode.
Thank you so much for the insights of your nice journey. I love it so much to see "her" again. As i heard that she would leave the german market, i was a bit worried that they might scrap her, a fate that hit a lot of 90s cruise ship during the padamic. But it seems they did a nice overhall to her. So nice to see her thriving again. Did you now she was built only a hour away from me, by a famous Cruise-Shipyard, the Meyer-Werft? My current employer sold parts for this ship. You showed one of my favorit spots, the after area outside the "Squid and Anchor" (than the Schaubar) - watching there by a nice "Sex on the Beach" the sunset will forever stay in my heart. I also enjoyed the video outside of my "Voyager-Fanism" a lot, very nice, thank you!
Nice to see Carole let rip for a change! There’s plenty to do onboard the ship which I know is something those who’ve not cruised before wonder about. Good explanation of the upgraded drinks package, I don’t think it’s worth it. The breakfast looked perfect especially the eggs.
If Carole keeps doing that she’s going to make me redundant 🤣🤣🤣 drinks packages are probably one of the biggest bones of contention on cruises so we are glad our explanation made sense.
@@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel 😂😂 It just means you have to up your game! We’re on Iona in 2 weeks and still can’t decide what to do with the drinks package. The new Deluxe option hasn’t helped either 😂
Although I have never sailed on a Carnival ship, to me from looking at various vlogs, that is Butlins at sea. The six times I have sailed on Marella it has never been like Butlins at sea. Not sailed in school holidays so don’t know how the ship is then. Can’t wait for your next vlogs on Marella.
Your videos have been absolutely excellent to watch. Im going on a cruise on the Marella in November to Barbados. These videos have been so informative and entertaining. What a great couple. Thank you 😊
Thank for the video very informative and interesting. I will be on this ship in 2025 with my partner, Andrew a 2 week cruise to celebrate 25 years together. We were on a Marella cruise last year, but I am so in love 😻 with the new ship xx
You packed a lot into your day, thats what I love about sea days, you can do as much or as little as you want, its all there ready for you to enjoy. Its a dogpig, get it right lol
Hi guys, me and my wife are on the voyager in Jan for our honeymoon from Barbados for 2 weeks, we have gone for a room with balcony, what are these rooms like we are in room 9052, think it's deck 9, have you any idea if this is good location. Really look forward to hearing from you
Hi Jason what a great way to honeymoon, your cabin is towards the front of the ship so you may get a little bit of movement but as there are cabins above and below it should be nice and quiet, I’ve put a link below to a balcony cabin tour for you to look at th-cam.com/video/Gie4-5sse4A/w-d-xo.htmlsi=bWuWGubVD7fMzH_u if you click it it will take you to the video. Hope this helps.
Thanks for very quick reply, we really can't wait as it's our first time cruising and a little optimistic about it, what are your personal views on the rooms with balcony, are they big enough to have breakfast on them as we're treating ourselves to a champagne breakfast for the first morning
@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel hi Paul and Carol, will they bring a table so you can eat off as that coffee table on balcony wouldn't be any good, also do you ever get free upgrades of rooms if so do you have any tips on how to get one as it's our honeymoon 😉
@@jasonhorseman3041 No they don't normally provide another table. Did you tell them it was your honeymoon on booking, if so they will have it on record. No tips really just seems the luck of the draw!
Another great video... 👍The meet the Captain event did seem a bit weird in how it was delivered... we've been with Marella twice in the last few months, on Explorer (with Steve James) and on Discovery and both times this was in the Atrium with senior officers standing and speaking alongside the Captain... maybe, as a maiden voyage, some officers were new to the posts and not yet comfortable speaking in front of lots of people.. 🤷♀️. be interesting to see how futures cruises do it on Voyager... Summer House is just like Mediterranean bar on Explorer... Perfect!! Ps... I think its a rabbit... 😂
I honestly thought it was an elephant they didn’t put a trunk on haha. We are going on our first cruise to the Caribbean and this is our ship! I can’t wait!
Hi had same problem in Squid/ Anchor on Explorer people come in late after show starts and block your view to small an area bad design posts blocking view why not have walk way at back of room . Love your comments and stories
Hi Paul and Carole, we have just booked for next year and were getting the jitters after watching some reviews - overall would you recommend Voyager? Thanks for the video very entertaining!
How was your sorbet Paul? 🤣🤣 obvs you had the choc 😋 I worked for Tui for 15yrs & definitely since they rebranded to Marella it used to make me 😡 when ppl said it was butlins at sea.
The way I remember the carpet colours is to say ‘British racing Green’ to myself - that is BRG (blue, red , green) as to start with I couldn’t remember what order they came in!
Being from California I have the advantage of local immersion in Spanish, so can help with the pronunciation of "Abuelas". Abuela means grandma, so Abuela's means "Grandma's, and is pronounced Ah bway lahz. p.s. love watching.....
On NCL you have a choice of any drink up to the value of $15, for any drink value above that say $20 you get charged the difference of $5. The drinks on Marella look exceptional value.
Great vlog guys.We bought the drinks package on our last cruise on Discovery,when it was £50 per person.But we won't be buying it on this years cruise at £80 per person,that would be £160 for our 2 week cruise,We'd prefer to buy the better drinks now and then..and they put it on our bill. It's a dog..
Breakfast needs to include proper eggs which you can dip toast in to the yolk. Most important part of breakast if you go for English style food. Hard yolks are awful!!
Hi, Paul you really need to stop correcting and making fun of Carole while she is talking. It’s annoying to watch and it interrupts the flow of the video. Once in awhile is ok but it gets old when you go on and on making fun of her. She may not mind but like I said it gets old and distracts from what the point of the discussion is.
Honestly, I don't know why people are so bothered about the Captain? Are they so keen on meeting the hotel manager? On Facebook page, the men never mention him, but the women constantly name drop him!

Oh fab memories! Yes have heard of Meyer Werft. That is a great spot at the back!
I love your blogs!
You both smarten up beautifully 😊
Oh thank you, appreciate that!

Lol thanks! 😆

Carnival are definitely party ships, we had a great time on Carnival Celebration. Thanks for watching!
Just loved the humour in Captain Steve's address
Yes it was great!
I love y’all so funny so British, just perfect!
Thank you, great to hear you like it!
Your videos have been absolutely excellent to watch. Im going on a cruise on the Marella in November to Barbados. These videos have been so informative and entertaining. What a great couple. Thank you 😊

Thanks, oh that's great to hear!
Thank for the video very informative and interesting. I will be on this ship in 2025 with my partner, Andrew a 2 week cruise to celebrate 25 years together. We were on a Marella cruise last year, but I am so in love 😻 with the new ship xx
You're welcome. It is a great ship and a good choice to celebrate your anniversary!
You packed a lot into your day, thats what I love about sea days, you can do as much or as little as you want, its all there ready for you to enjoy. Its a dogpig, get it right lol
Yes like you said do what makes you happy, dogpig. Love it🤣🤣
Do you have to pay extra for the surf and turf restaurant
Yes you do £31.95 per person.

You can see the size of balcony in the video, not huge but doable!
@@jasonhorseman3041 No they don't normally provide another table. Did you tell them it was your honeymoon on booking, if so they will have it on record. No tips really just seems the luck of the draw!

Yes it was odd would of been better if all on the stage! Lol a rabbit! 🤣🤣
@@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel Look at the ears.... defo a rabbit!! 🐰 🤣
I honestly thought it was an elephant they didn’t put a trunk on haha. We are going on our first cruise to the Caribbean and this is our ship! I can’t wait!
Lol! Have fun in the Caribbean!
Hi had same problem in Squid/ Anchor on Explorer people come in late after show starts and block your view to small an area bad design posts blocking view why not have walk way at back of room . Love your comments and stories
Thanks! Yes so frustrating! 😍
You can,t beat marella cruises for value for money .Surf and Turf was amazing on Discovery .Staff everywhere were outstanding .Best holiday ever
Agree! Glad you had a great time too!
Do you have to pay gratitudes on your drink
No it’s an all inclusive cruise, no gratuities to pay on anything unless you choose to.
Really like the look of Voyager will definitely be booking something on her we’re going on discovery in may my favourite so far ❤
Voyager is a great ship. We love Discovery, hope to get back on board one day too!
Hi Paul and Carole, we have just booked for next year and were getting the jitters after watching some reviews - overall would you recommend Voyager? Thanks for the video very entertaining!
We would recommend Voyager, we thoroughly enjoyed our cruise!
@@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel thanks
You cleaned up pretty well for dress to impress night. 😊
Well thank you!
Great Vlog! Fantastic to see you are enjoying Marella. We think dog 🐶
We have always loved Marella and the voyager is definitely up there with all our previous experiences. Disappointed that you sided with Carole 🤣🤣🤣
We go on Saturday. How did you book a restaurant table before you left home? Cheers, Phil
You go to Marella Cruise Control and log in with your booking details! Have a fabulous time! 😀
Thanks. I did look on there but couldn't see it. Found it now - thanks for your help@@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel
Happy anniversary guys
Thank you!
How was your sorbet Paul? 🤣🤣 obvs you had the choc 😋 I worked for Tui for 15yrs & definitely since they rebranded to Marella it used to make me 😡 when ppl said it was butlins at sea.
It’s typically people who have never even experienced it for themselves, the dessert was delicious 😋
Loving the vlog...so much so im looking at booking our next cruise on Marella Voyager. For reference, Its Abuuuelas (Grandmothers)
Thanks, that's fabulous! 😍
Right Then!
Another fabulous video. Thank you 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!

p.s. love watching.....
Oh thank you! 😊
You’re making us really want to cruise on this ship! Convinced all cruise ship captains get taught the same jokes though 😅
Lol we think your right! 🤣🤣
On NCL you have a choice of any drink up to the value of $15, for any drink value above that say $20 you get charged the difference of $5.
The drinks on Marella look exceptional value.
Yes they are good value! 😊
It's a towel
Lol🤣🤣
Hi sorry i am watching this vlog and i would love to know the name of music you put on in between some of your silent parts .
If you look in the description below the video you will see the music we used. 😁

The standard package worked well for us. Yes team Carole for the dog!

Yes love good soft eggs!
Ah-bway-las it means "grandmother" in Spanish ;)
Yes thanks have learnt that now!
Also Nonna is the grandmother in Italian families- so they are the grandmother’s restaurants 😀
@@sharonwhite1985 Thanks for letting us know!

Abuela's is pronounced - Ab Well As - Spanish for grandma's.

Excellent team Carole!
Doggie
Yes, team Carole! 😍
It's a dog
I agree 🤣 Carole doesn’t 🤔
Hi, Paul you really need to stop correcting and making fun of Carole while she is talking. It’s annoying to watch and it interrupts the flow of the video. Once in awhile is ok but it gets old when you go on and on making fun of her. She may not mind but like I said it gets old and distracts from what the point of the discussion is.
I think you might need to switch off if it annoys you so much. I think they work well together and I enjoy their humour.
That is so a DOG
Yes team Carole! 😃
Dog
Yes team Carole!
This a dog!
Thanks Joy team Carole!
Its a pig
Lol one for team Paul! 🤣
It’s a pig
YES!! finally someone agrees with me🤣🤣
Another great Vlog. Totally agree with you about Strongbow0Awful tangy muck. I wish everywhere sold Thatchers.
Yes the was be good!
Going Saturday 🎉
Have a great cruise!
Honestly, I don't know why people are so bothered about the Captain? Are they so keen on meeting the hotel manager? On Facebook page, the men never mention him, but the women constantly name drop him!
It's nice to put faces to names and see who the team in charge are. 😀
Dog
Yes team Carole!
Dog
Yes team Carole!
