YouTube Video Description

Join us as we embark on our first ever cruise! We are bound to make loads of newbie mistakes as we join the Marella Explorer for a 3 night UK staycation cruise to Dover and Portland from Southampton. MARELLA DAILY NEWSLETTER: https://www.georgeanddan.com/marellaexplorer FOR MORE CRUISE INFO: https://www.georgeanddan.com We wake up today in Portland near Weymouth and enjoy the wonderful view of the Golden Horizon and Cunard's Queen Elizabeth whilst having a champagne breakfast. After some relaxing we head to Latitude for lunch and enjoy some sandwiches. Onto the Squid and Anchor for some drinks and a wander around the pool deck. We had to try the Smoker Cocktails in Indigo. The bar was so quiet but the view was impressive. After the ship left Portland we head to the Mediterranean Italian for some calzone. To walk off all the food we decided to continue our wander around the upper decks of the Marella Explorer. After some dessert from the buffet we took in the show and headed back to our cabin to start packing :( Thanks for watching and don’t forget to check us out here: www.georgeanddan.com Chapters: 0:00 Intro 1:00 Champagne Breakfast 3.03 Latitude - Lunch 3:40 Squid and Anchor 5:25 Pool Deck 5:52 Indigo 8:59 Sail Away 9:46 The Mediterranean Italian 12:52 Tour of Upper Decks 16:57 Poolside Cocktails 17:49 Review so far 18:45 Back to the cabin 21:14 Summary of the day 22:15 Bye Bye SUBSCRIBE HERE: https://tinyurl.com/w9eqjwq TWITTER: https://twitter.com/georgeanddan INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/georgeanddan WEBSITE: https://www.georgeanddan.com #georgeanddan #georgeanddanmarella Music Credits: Joyride by tubebackr & Sarah Jansen https://soundcloud.com/tubebackr https://soundcloud.com/sarahjansenmusic Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0 Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/3p6ATNa Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/4WEhrLE9BWg The Long Way Home by Scott Buckley https://soundcloud.com/scottbuckley Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0 Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/3x9WrMb Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/D0eZmyGCbBg
