YouTube Video Description

Hi everyone, In this week's video it was our first and only sea day of the cruise. We started the day with breakfast in the main dining room, Latitude 53. It was very busy when we arrived and it did take a little time but we enjoyed the meal all the same. We then wanted to join in with the Aquafit class so made our way to the pool deck to take part. The water was freezing and the class was a lot more intense than we expected. It was a real good workout which set us up brilliantly for the day! We then relaxed around the pool area for a few hours, reading, having a few drinks, listening to music and the stage entertainment. The weather had thankfully brightened up for this! It was then time to go back to the cabin to get ready for The Great Musical Afternoon Tea in The Dining Club. This was a fantastic experience, the food and drinks were amazing, such a great variety and the music was brilliant too! We loved this and thought it was well worth the money, we were so full at the end of this! We would recommend and would do it again. Following this we rested in our cabin for a while and then got ready for the evening. We started with trivia and a drink in the Squid and Anchor before going to Nonna's for a later evening meal. This was a great dining option, fantastic service and the food was perfect. We would love to go here again, they even let us take the leftovers back to the cabin. We finally managed to get a seat at Flutes after our meal, and even got to push the 'Bring Me Bubbles' button. While we were here in the atrium downstairs there was also some dancing taking place. It was then time for the show in the Broadway Show Lounge, tonight was Rockology. We were most looking forward to this one but it ended up being our least favourite from the week's shows. We still enjoyed it but it didn't feel like the genre suited the cast as much as others had. We ended the night watching Muzzik Unlimited in Indigo Bar, they were fantastic we really enjoyed the set and even got to speak with them and get a photo this evening. We then called it a day after a fantastic #seaday onboard #marellacruises and went back to the cabin for our night cap and to finish the pizza. We can't wait to share more of the #cruisevlogs with you! We hope you enjoyed today's video, if you did we would really appreciate it if you would 'like' the video as it really helps!
