Hello everyone! Stick Man Steve here 👋 and welcome aboard another unforgettable day on our Marella Voyager cruise adventure. We’re now on Day 14 of our 15-day Caribbean escape, and today we docked in the beautiful and untouched gem that is Roseau, Dominica 🇩🇲. This is also the day I share the final snippets of our last day in Bridgetown, Barbados, although sadly, I lost most of the footage due to a damaged SD card 😢 – I’m truly sorry! I’ve included the little I could salvage in this vlog ❤️. Our day began with a spot of breakfast at The Kitchens on Deck 11 – the perfect way to fuel up before heading down to The Coffee Port on Deck 6 ☕️. Now, this place has become our daily tradition – two double espressos, nice and strong! The team here have become like friends, always smiling and serving up the best brew on board 🚢. We had a bit of time before our excursion, so off we went to explore the Roseau Cruise Port Market. One of our travel traditions is to buy a fridge magnet from every new country – and Dominica was no exception! 🧲 Another special memento for our ever-growing collection 🗺️. Back on board, we headed to the Squid and Anchor on Deck 7 for a cool drink 🍹 before noticing that Christmas had arrived overnight! 🎄 Trees, garlands, lights – it felt incredibly festive and really lifted the spirit. With some time left, we had a wander around the ship before grabbing our excursion tickets for today’s adventure: the Wacky Truck Waterfall & Rainforest Experience 🌿🚛. We paid £58 each for this 3-hour adventure and it was absolutely worth every penny. We began with a scenic drive through Roseau, stopping at Morne Bruce viewpoint for spectacular panoramic shots 📸. Then it was into the lush rainforest, passing the Wotten Waven Sulphur Springs and arriving at the legendary Ti Tou Gorge – which you may recognise from Pirates of the Caribbean 2! 🏴☠️ Here, cold waters mix in a magical gorge where you can take a dip or swim further in to uncover a hidden waterfall 💦. Be prepared to get wet – the trucks are open-air and it often rains in the rainforest! After we were treated to local pastries and rum punch 🍰🍹. Back on board, we celebrated our last nigh. Up on Deck 11, The Shack Bar was serving up cocktails while the crew transformed the pool deck into a BBQ party zone complete with music, lights and a DJ 🎶🍔. We captured the atmosphere before heading to Deck 12 for our final sail away out of Roseau, Dominica – bittersweet knowing it’s our last evening 😞. As always, we popped back into The Coffee Port – but this time for their coffee and tea-infused cocktails (included on the Premium All Inclusive package – which we’re on). The staff here have been one of the highlights of the trip – truly lovely people who go above and beyond 💙. Dinner tonight was at our favourite speciality restaurant – the Surf & Turf Steakhouse on Deck 7 🥩🍷. It’s a paid venue (£31 each) and well worth it. The food and service were exceptional once again. We did request a table change due to the heat near the live grill and the team happily accommodated us – moving us to a perfect spot by the window 🌅. We even recognised some staff from our July 2023 Marella cruise. After dinner, we stopped for one last drink at Aperitif on Deck 7 and soaked in the final hours of this magical journey 🌙✨. Tomorrow we dock back at Bridgetown, Barbados, where our TUI Holidays coach will take us to the airport for our flight home to Manchester, UK ✈️. What an incredible 15 days it’s been!
