Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm excited to bring you part 2 of my latest docu-vlog cruise series all about my Marella fly-cruise sailing the Caribbean onboard Marella Voyager from London UK

I've had a mega upgrade from an inside cabin right next to reception which I loved as you know to the St Lucia suite and welcome to my balcony

I think that's super Fair actually um so well done Mela for addressing it so quickly and doing something about it other Cruise Lines could learn an awful lot from that

I love the fact that I don't have to know where I'm going for dinner because there are so many options on board where you don't need to reserve a table in advance

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book independent tours for more flexibility and better value
Provide positive feedback to crew daily via the cruise line's feedback system
Arrive early for main dining room breakfast to avoid lines
Barter for beach rentals in port to get better prices
