Our very first cruise was on this ship in October 1999 when she was a year old as Celebrity Mercury . We had a balcony on deck 9 for 7 nights in the Caribbean . Lost count the number of cruises we have done since with lots of lines and have been on a few with Marella and under Thomson, Celebration, Dream, Explorer, Explorer 2. Love the look of the Kitchen on Voyager.

I'm so glad to see this lovely ship sailing again. Took a trip on her last November, when she was still named "Mein Schiff ❤". I think i like her new name even better (🖖) I remember having the same problems with the front-row-seats in the Theatre during my cruise. I'm very excited for your next video. Its intersting to see what they changed during the overhaul. "The Kitchen" looks like a really big improvement. Thanks for the video!

We’ve just come off the Explorer for our first Marella cruise. How exciting to be on the maiden cruise. Wow that’s a big cabin. Oo the gravy boat looks great! We enjoyed looking around the ship with you. The standard drinks package is fine, we didn’t crave anything further. The staff are amazing aren’t they. We enjoyed this Vlog guys. Great energy.

I've been looking forward to this episode since I saw you were on Voyager. It looks like they've done such a good job of this ship, and it's so good to see a Marella ship with such modern and 'up to date' cabins - I remember from my time on Discovery 2 that the rooms were the element that really let it down. Also, I'm really unsure how I feel about that double shower scenario...!!

So relaxing and wa really exceeded our expectations . And after watching your vlogs , we're definitely going to be doing another marella cruise . We don't do crowds very well since covid so marella seem to be big enough for us . Thanks and happy vlogging 😊
