Loved this series, especially this last episode. It reminded me of when we did the Adriatic, and my favourite place Kotor. The sail in is spectacular! Looking forward to your next series.

Thanks for climbing to the top for that fantastic view. It means I won’t have to. 🍻🍹

You, like us, where ever we go, on a cruise or land holiday, like to have lunch out and taste the local foods and drinks, especially on a cruise as it helps their local economy, Again your filming of your dinners on board are very good,I literally am wishing I were there eating that food you eat lol..The menu in Surf & Turf looks amazing, so we will be booking a meal in there when we next cruise on Marella 2 next year..I do hope you will be cruising again soon as we can follow your vlogs again, as your my favourite cruise vloggers for sure

We were in the middle of a 5 night stay in Kotor (5th-10th July), I saw the Marella Explorer on 7th. We went up the hill that same morning but got there just after 8am, and because we got there before the man on the turnstile turned up, we got in for free. Must have walked past you coming back down the hill while you were on your way up.

Just came off this ship last week on cruise from Corfu, must be the worst buffet anywhere on land or at sea, very poor-quality limited choice of food, this mixed with the constant waft of an open drain didn't make for good dining, the ship is very much Benidorm at sea with Butlins type entertainment throughout. That was our first and absolute last Marella cruise, lovely staff but the ship is well past its sell by date. Don’t be fooled by amateur videos such as these portraying false elegance, the ship was built in the 90s and it shows, as they say you can’t polish a turd even if you roll it glitter.
