"If you cough, you are off, lady" and "If it doesn't hurt in the morning..." were both real laugh out loud moments, thank you. I really appreciate your energy throughout this video. As a seasoned Caribbean cruiser, I understand the energy required to keep delivering day and night like this.
Hey Jamie loved this one of the Caribbean cruise! Got really emosh when you mentioned you couldn’t get your photos from your incredible zip wire experience & I know how it must have felt because you wanted to treasure those memories in the pictures you were promised! You were so brave & I don’t know if would’ve had the courage to do it, thank u for bringing this awesome content hun! 🫶👌👍🚢🌅
What a fab part 2. U were extra naughty on this vlog … very funny spat me rice out at one point😂😂. Looks so relaxing and peaceful. Cant beat a Caribbean ocean♥️
I was on this ship in Jan 2024 for 14 nights cruising the Caribbean. Absolutely loved the experience. I remember what a painkiller was, think it was in Tortola. Your video brought lots of good memories back. I’ve never had a bad Marella cruise, hope you feel the same? Great video.
Hi Jamie what an awesome suite a very good sized balcony too the Caribbean is gorgeous that chair lift looked fantastic what views ❤ so happy that you had an amazing time, love the towel animals fab video ❤
Looks fantastic ,enjoyed this cruise with you ,we will make more of an effort with the feedback in future ,was impressed with the customer service you received Thank youvery much and happy new year to you and Maffoo
Loved part 1&2, eagerly awaiting part 3 as we take the same flight and go on the same cruise on Thursday! As we are not regular cruisers finding this was invaluable, especially as we’ve had very little time to plan as we only booked it last weekend (it was a steal). We appreciate your honest and open opinions and the respect you give everyone you meet.
Wowza - another blissful Caribbean adventure. Your boyish enthusiasm and joy is great to behold. BTW, because of your inside single cabin tour on the Voyager, I decided to upgrade to a single outside. As funny as I think it is, the pole did it in for me (I kept imagining crashing into it in the middle of the night). Very happy I did so, as it's an Adriatic cruise and the scenery must be awesome. It's actually a a couple of doors down from your original cabin, as I wanted to be close to reception just - like - you ( were) .
Great video Jamie bringing back loads of great memories from when we went over there we did the St John’s ride the helicopter ride over the stingrays and round the island went Eric Clapton’s‘s house and when was in Nevis we we had a helicopter ride into the volcano amazing place the Caribbean
Just looks like a great cruise, Jamie ! Does Maffoo realise that he is redundant from Coffee Machine operation now ? 😂 Wishing you both a happy and prosperous new year ! 🍾🍸
Another informative and entertaining vlog. It seems Marella has long port days which are a +. I wish other lines where so quick to acknowledge when things are not as advertised, especially with excursions. It seemed like madness with the amount of people at the stingray excursion. I am not a fan of so many people with a nature interaction like the stingrays and I presume that is one of the many tours a day. Looking forward to the next vlog.
Fun! Marella ooks like a charming little floating Eruopean resort. That pool looks big and half-way deep enough for actual swimming strokes! Honestly, I think I'lss stick with HAL; but, I am enjoying watching you enjoy Marella! The food and beverage options look delightful. The whole Marella thing just looks like a tacky European thing in a delightful sort of way, trickly shower head and all!
I enjoyed this video. Your zipline tour looked fantastic. Curious how you moved between the various platforms as it looked like each one was further up the mountain. Did they use the chairlifts for that? I zipped in St Lucia with Rainforest Adventures and we zipped "down" from one platform to the next; then had a massive hike back up the mountain to the gondola. The hike UP to the gondola was exhausting, in treacherous terrain, in the rain. Zipping in the rain was great though. Kept us cooled off. I'm glad to hear you got some credit back for the part of the tour you didn't get. I used a go pro with a wristband to capture the zipping.
@@TravelBlogJamie Ports was great! Entertainment was really bad ( band argue and walk away) no sailing away party, food mha, drink mha ..... Ship was dirty ( my daughter was in isolation and her room service plates was outside cabin for 17h - I call reception and took them another 3h to take them away ...I have Arvia book with friends for 2026 ( Meds) - I think this would be my last time with P&O Britannia is definitely not for me ☹️ Can't wait to your Norwegian vlog in the future!!!!! Looking forward to booking a Disney Cruise next!!!!!!! ⁰o⁰
@@TravelBlogJamie Well I would not recommend Britannia to anyone! We got room service one night laughing about it how proud Jamie would be us doing what we want staying in cabin watching movie 😂
We did the trip to the zipwire place but didn't do the zipwire itself. We could have done the doughtnut ring slide as part of the cost but looking at the state of the "slide" it didnt look very well kept or safe. As you love lizards, did you see the size of them at the bottom area near where you wait for the coach back? Some were huge and got some great photos of them.
Have thoroughly enjoyed parts 1&2 of this blog, but there was times that you should have, water (tick), suncream (tick), a hat (oops!!), Naughty Jamie😉
Jamie, I'm very suspicious concerning that zip wire in St Maarten. How very convenient that no photographs or videos of you were taken and therefore no proof that you actually did it . Did you get the idea of how to get out of doing it from Karl Pilkington when he faked doing a bungee jump in South Africa in An Idiot Abroad? Seriously though I bet it was a fabulous experience. Looking forward to blog number 3 and your summing up of your cruise on Voyager. 😛
"If you cough, you are off, lady" and "If it doesn't hurt in the morning..." were both real laugh out loud moments, thank you.
I really appreciate your energy throughout this video. As a seasoned Caribbean cruiser, I understand the energy required to keep delivering day and night like this.
Glad you enjoyed! I forgot I said those things 😂
I thoroughly enjoy your videos. They’re informative and witty. And the reviews of your meals are well detailed.❤
Thank you so much!

Oh I was extra naughty?!! What on earth did I say?!
I've been watching this with nostalgia. I miss that party ship. Loved it for 2 weeks in March 2024
It’s a great cruise

Glad you had a great time too!
I’ve just booked a solo cruise to the Caribbean on Marella and this video massively influenced me so THANK YOU! 🥰
So glad! Enjoy ☺️
You have made my New Year’s Day. I’m definitely booking this cruise trip. Keep up the amazing work 💜💜
Yay! Thank you!
Brilliant as always Jamie, ports and food look great. Like the look of the thali at Kora La 🍻

You see, I’m here for you! I’m glad you made that decision. Can’t have you knocking yourself out in the night!
@@TravelBlogJamie 😂
Thanks, Jamie. We have booked the stingray expirence and now I know at 5ft it's going to be an interesting day!😂
Loved the upgrade x
Yes, depending on conditions and which part you’re dropped off, water level can vary!
Let’s do this! Happy New Year to you both, hope it’s a happy and healthy one x
And to you too 🥂
Thanks, Jamie. Love the videos. Hope your babies are OK
They are super well thank you 🙏
Thank you Jamie for another great update
Very welcome
Great video Jamie bringing back loads of great memories from when we went over there we did the St John’s ride the helicopter ride over the stingrays and round the island went Eric Clapton’s‘s house and when was in Nevis we we had a helicopter ride into the volcano amazing place the Caribbean

Hi Amanda
Looking forward to the 2nd part 👍❤️😊
Thank you 🙏
Great video 😊 seems the stingray experience which I did a few years ago hasn’t changed it was chaotic then too 😂
Yep, no idea what was happening!
Amazing.
❤️❤️❤️
Hello Jamie, Happy New Year's to both you and Mafoo.
Happy new year!
Just looks like a great cruise, Jamie ! Does Maffoo realise that he is redundant from Coffee Machine operation now ? 😂 Wishing you both a happy and prosperous new year ! 🍾🍸
I still messed up the coffee making 😫
@TravelBlogJamie Like we all do ! ❤️

Yes, good amount of time in port and more ports than some other cruise lines
Ready for part 2
Awesome 🤩
Love love love ❤️
Thank you thank you thank you 🙏
Awesome ❤
🥂🥂🥂
Jamie do you buy your excursions on the ship xxx
I love to watch you and mathew x
Mostly beforehand or diy
Fun! Marella ooks like a charming little floating Eruopean resort. That pool looks big and half-way deep enough for actual swimming strokes!

Super informative video thanks. Quick question, do you know if they have kids club on this ship?
Yes they do indeed
I enjoyed this video. Your zipline tour looked fantastic. Curious how you moved between the various platforms as it looked like each one was further up the mountain. Did they use the chairlifts for that? I zipped in St Lucia with Rainforest Adventures and we zipped "down" from one platform to the next; then had a massive hike back up the mountain to the gondola.

I'm glad to hear you got some credit back for the part of the tour you didn't get. I used a go pro with a wristband to capture the zipping.
Alas, no go pros / wrists bands etc allowed on these!
The first 4 were contained in the same area with some steps to navigate as they got higher. The main event was accessed by the second chairlift
Great video Jamie! What did you do for data coverage off of the ship…is there a particular SIM card you’d recommend?
I just used WiFi where available
Hi Jamie,
Happy 2025!
Just back from P&O Britannia - I wish I went with you on TUI 😂
Looking forward to Fjords on RC in June!
Happy travels ❤
Something you didn’t like on Britannia?
@@TravelBlogJamie Ports was great!
Entertainment was really bad ( band argue and walk away) no sailing away party, food mha, drink mha .....

Britannia is definitely not for me ☹️
Can't wait to your Norwegian vlog in the future!!!!!
Looking forward to booking a Disney Cruise next!!!!!!! ⁰o⁰
@ oh that’s sad - i thought this ship had recently had a refurb too
@@TravelBlogJamie Well I would not recommend Britannia to anyone! We got room service one night laughing about it how proud Jamie would be us doing what we want staying in cabin watching movie 😂
@ lol 😂 I’m proud 😊

Yes, you may have missed the large one in there vlog running out in front of us
Nooks and crannies - w's and f's - 🤣🤣🤣
Can’t believe I said that
@@TravelBlogJamie Glad that you did - it was so funny
Happy New Year! Was that 30% refund on the whole cruise or just the excursion? For the St Maarten excursion.
Sorry Tammy I don’t understand the question here
@ updated the question. Sorry. You received a letter stating you received a refund of 30%.
@ for the excursion because of one of the activities not being available
❤❤❤
🥂🥂🥂
Have you got the list of “ pole cabins “?
I popped the list in the cabin tour / review of the inside cabin
I’ve read review twice but can’t see the list .
@ it’s in the actual video
Good Morning 2025❤ Hi Jamie Hi Friends ❤️ lm planning and hoping on my First trip to Japan in October ❤
Have fun!
😀

Oh anyone who remotely knows me will tell you I did that zip wire (I’ve also never heard of Karl Pilkington).
Really enjoyed parts 1 and 2,I think u r becoming very naughty though😮😮😮
I don’t think I’m ‘becoming’ naughty 👿
