Creator's Key Takeaways

Well, yes, it's busy, but it's not as bad as I thought it would be.

You got to say a 10 out of 10 for recycling. They'll recycle, reuse, repurpose anything, which is amazing.

It don't smell as bad as I thought it might. And I haven't stood in a human or anything else excrement as yet.

Wonderful gateway to India. That's uh currently the gate is closed and shut probably permanently.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Be prepared for intense crowds and noise in Mumbai.
Expect begging and poverty, but it's part of the city's reality.

YouTube Video Description

Today on Travels with the Russells, we arrive in Mumbai, India aboard Celebrity Millennium and dive straight into one of the most intense, colourful and unforgettable cities we’ve ever visited. Mumbai doesn’t do “quiet”, and we absolutely love it. This full-day shore excursion takes us from the iconic Gateway of India, standing proudly on the waterfront, to the fascinating chaos of Chor Bazaar, better known as the Thieves Market — a place where you can apparently buy anything… and we mean anything 😄 Along the way, we explore some of Mumbai’s most important sights, learning about the city’s British colonial past, its deep traditions, and its modern-day contrasts. One minute it’s grand architecture, the next it’s buzzing street life, honking horns and the constant energy that makes Mumbai feel alive. And then… things take a very unexpected turn. We somehow manage to gate-crash a full Indian wedding celebration 🎉 Music, dancing, colour everywhere — and yes, we were very politely welcomed in. Only in India! This vlog is a real, honest look at Mumbai on a cruise stop — what you can realistically see in one day, what surprised us, and what might surprise you too. We’re not sun-lounger people, but if you enjoy culture, people-watching, history, and unforgettable moments, this one’s for you.
