  • We've just spent an amazing week on the beautiful Marella Explorer on the Iconic Islands Cruise and absolutely loved it.
    Although our first time on the Marella Explorer, we've actually holidayed on it before when it was the Celebrity Galaxy - the ship made famous in TV's, The Cruise with Jane MacDonald.
    The Marella Explorer is one of five cruise ships in the Marella Cruises Fleet, the others being, The Marella Explorer 2, The Marella Discovery, The Marella Discovery 2 and the Marella Voyager.
    If you have been watching our channel for a while, you may know that Rach used to work on the cruise ships many years ago as a production dancer and then as a choreographer.
    One of Rach's ships that she worked on for a good while was the Celebrity Century, the sister ship of the Celebrity Galaxy, which is what the Marella Explorer now is.
    If you like cruise ship diaries, beautiful locations, Greece, the Mediterranean and anything cruise ship related, then this is the video for you. Over the next few weeks, we will be releasing our cruise ship diaries for the week, focusing on 2 days at a time.
    In this first episode, or vlog of our Marella Explorer cruise ship diaries, we take a look at days one and two.
    On day one, we flew from Manchester airport to Corfu, where we joined the beautiful Marella Explorer and spent the rest of the day exploring the ship, checking out the restaurants and bars and watching a show by the Marella Show Team.
    Day 2 was a sea day, so we got to explore the ship even more.
    The rest of the cruise includes, Santorini, Mykonos, Rhodes, Chania, Katakolon (where we visited Olympia) and Corfu.
    In this Marella Cruises Vlog, or Marella Explorer Vlog, we show you lots of what there is to do on the beautiful ship, the next few Marella Cruises (by Tui) vlogs will show you the stunning ports in Greece and the final Marella Cruises vlog with be a complete guide to things to see and do onboard the Marella Explorer 2.
    If you like cruise ships, if you're looking at going on a Marella cruise, maybe onboard the Marella Explorer and you want to know what to expect, then this Marella Explorer Vlog is for you.
    For more vlogs and cruise ship diaries from our Marella Explorer cruise, be sure to tune in over the next few weeks.
    Thank you for watching this Marella Explorer / Marella Cruises Vlog and as we say in Postcard And A Pint - Cheers To The Good Times x

    ⭐ About Postcard & A Pint:
    Welcome to the official Postcard & A Pint UA-cam channel.
    Postcard & A Pint was thought up by my partner, Rachel & myself, Wills one day while taking our daily 1 hour exercise during the lockdown of 2020. All of a sudden, we were spending more time together, not working 6 or 7 days a week in the arts industry, and binge watching travel programs, and we were actually really enjoying it, and it made us re-evaluate what was important in life for us. Now back to working 6 or 7 days a week again, with very little time off, our happy time is getting out there on our brief times off together and making short travel videos that we are now sharing with you. It's just a bit of fun, and great for our sanity. Your support is hugely appreciated x

    Well. I think it is the first time I've seen a cruise video that made it look reasonably appealing. Not enough to fork over some hard earned yet, but we'll see after next week's video. 😂 2000 passengers is still a slight turn off. Especially if they are all UKers. 😂 I think 2000 is about 1950 more passengers than the only other "cruise" we've been on. And we made cocktails from the 10000 year old iceberg that calved and rolled over in front of us. Beat that beautiful azure Mediterranean seas. 😂 Coincidently, I'm reading Gerald Durrell's Corfu trilogy at he moment. So far your 2023 Greek islands are nothing like Gerald's 1930s Corfu. But that ain't a bad thing in some respects. Great work from you two again. I don't think you can make a dud video any more. Not that you ever did. 😍😂 I am totally looking forward to the next one.

    • @PostcardAndAPint
      @PostcardAndAPint  10 місяців тому +1

      Ok you win, cocktail with ice from a glacier beats the Med hands down! Glad you enjoyed it, it is a busy ship, but there’s always somewhere to run away to. We had a great time and want to go island hopping one day, so it was a great taster!! Never fly into or out of Corfu airport! It’s hell on earth! Possibly still operates like the 1930’s 🤣. Cheers for watching always 🍻

      There was one cruise we were considering. Ha Long Bay in Vietnam for a couple of nights. It is supposed to be very good. But since we cancelled / postponed our Vietnam trip I don't know when that will happen. Sad face emoji. 😂

    Hello, guys and sorry for my late view! Back from a trip to Porto and then a LOT of things to do!
    Well, I have always been intrigued by cruises, even though my husband and I never decided to take them. At least still for the moment. Apart from the fact that I suffer a bit from the sea, but I don't think it is noticeable on these large ships, what blocks me a bit is the fact that I am always forced and limited in visiting times and the fact of being surrounded by too many people. But I see that on this cruise you have also found private spaces where you can relax! Nice! In favor of cruises, certainly excellent food and breathtaking views.
    I imagine visiting all the common spaces took quite a long time! I don't think you can get bored, actually. An experience that should be done at least once in a lifetime, however.
    As always, a great vlog. Fun and enjoyable to watch, guys. HUGS and have a great end of summer! LIKE!! Renata

    • @PostcardAndAPint
      @PostcardAndAPint  10 місяців тому +1

      Thanks Renata. There are always places where you can get away from the crowds. We see a cruise as a taster. Have a look and decide if we want to go back. So far Santorini is on our list to re vista as is Rhodes. It was a lovely week though, we didn’t want to come home! Cheers 🍻
